Planting Seeds with Soul

Soul33

Planting Seeds with Soul is raw, unedited conversation. Some episodes are with my partner, others with guests who have lived through chaos, loss, addiction, love and transformation. Nothing is off limits. It is like sitting inside a live therapy session where people open their hearts, share their truths, and let it all out. These stories carry pain, joy and everything in between, and by sharing them with the world, they just might help you heal too.

    S2 EP26 | Forged in Darkness with Watene Waenga 🎙️

    Watene sat down with me and opened the door to parts of his life that most people would rather keep locked away. We spoke about a childhood shaped by chaos, a rough upbringing, gangs, anger, violence, addiction, and the kind of environments that can either swallow you whole or forge something powerful inside you. This wasn’t a polished story. It was raw truth. You can feel the weight of the battles he and his family have faced, the moments where life could have easily gone another direction, and the fire it takes to keep walking forward when the road behind you is full of scars. But what hit me most about Watene is where he stands today. A man who has taken that pain, that anger, that addiction and turned it into purpose. Someone who now uses his story, his experiences and his hard earned lessons to help guide others who are walking through similar darkness. This episode isn’t about glorifying the struggle. It’s about understanding it. Because when you sit across from someone who has lived through that kind of storm and come out the other side with a mission, you realise something… the past doesn’t have to define a man, but it can shape the strength he carries forward. We only scratched the surface of Watene’s journey here, but even this small window into his life carries lessons about resilience, accountability, family, addiction, and what it really means to break cycles. Sit back and come along for the conversation. Real stories. Real struggle. Real transformation. 🌱🎙️
