    EP263 – Living Fully While Dying with Dr Jacquie Kidd

    Deeply honoured to be joined by Dr Jacquie Kidd, a respected Māori health researcher, advocate, and wahine toa whose life's work has been about creating equity within Aotearoa's healthcare system. This kōrero was recorded during the World Indigenous Cancer Conference, hosted by Hei Āhuru Mōwai and Te Rau Ora, a gathering that brought indigenous voices from across the world together to talk about cancer, care, and culture. Jacquie shares the path that led her into healthcare, beginning as a young girl caring for her pāpā, and opens her heart about her current journey of "living fully while dying" after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis. This is one of those conversations that reminds you what actually matters. Episode Breakdown ✨ What is equity?✨ Why equity in healthcare for Māori isn't optional✨ What it means to truly live✨ The beauty and sadness of dying✨ Whānau wellbeing is centric✨ The quiet power of presence, whānau, and acceptance Jacquie's kōrero invites us to ask the questions most of us avoid: What am I actually doing with my time? Who am I when stripped of the noise? What legacy am I leaving for those who come after me?In te ao Māori, death is not a separation but a transition, a continuation of whakapapa and for Jacquie she gets to see hug her mokopuna before they enter te ao marama.

    Meth is in almost every whānau in Aotearoa — whether we want to admit it or not.This kōrero might be the one that finally cracks it open. Marley Taipeti is a third-generation Black Power member who walked through the fire of addiction, dealing meth, violence, and the kind of pain most people never speak about. But instead of leaving the environment that nearly took him, he chose to stay in it AND change it from the inside. In this episode, Marley shares his journey openly about the highest of highs, the lowest of lows, and the moment he decided his whānau deserved more. What followed wasn't just his own transformation BUT he sparked the same shift in his wife, and countless others around him. We both mahi for Waiariki Whānau Mentoring, a Māori hauora kaupapa supporting our hardest-to-reach communities, most often, our gang whānau. This episode is for anyone who's been told they're too far gone to come back. Episode Breakdown ✨ The reality of meth in our communities — no sugar-coating✨ What addiction actually feels like from the inside✨ Why he chose to stay in the gang environment instead of running from it✨ How transformation ripples through whānau✨ The role of kaupapa Māori in healing✨ What real accountability looks like✨ Leading by example when no one taught you how Where to Next 💬 Drop a highlight in the comments if this kōrero landed for you.🔗 Reach out to Waiariki Whānau Mentoring HERE if you or someone you love needs tautoko.🌱 Join the Planting Seeds Community HERE.
