A funny, honest Māori-led podcast about trying - and often failing - to care for our wairua in a world obsessed with wellness. Hosts Kristina Cavit (founder of The Kindness Institute), Brady Polkinghorne (Māori mindfulness nerd), and Te Aorangi Morini (22-year-old kura grad) explore what it actually means to be “well” without buying into wellness b******t. Three unlikely best mates bring mātauranga Māori and Western wellbeing into the same conversation - questioning what we’ve been taught and what actually works in real life. Along the way, they share their own wellbeing fails, questionable fads, and the things they’ve learned from years of working alongside rangatahi and whānau across Aotearoa. New episodes out every Monday.

    Mindfulness for People Who F***ing Hate Mindfulness

    We’re Te Aorangi Morini (Tati), Kristina Cavit (Krissy), and Brady Polkinghorne - three mates exploring Māori wellbeing, wairua and what it actually means to feel well. In the first episode of Wairua & Waffles, we get into mauri tau, meditation and the everyday things that ground us. From karakia and calling your Nan to the hard stuff we don't always know how to talk about, we're figuring out what wellbeing looks like without the wellness b******t.  Email brady@taiora.org for the hauora (wellbeing) resource mentioned in this ep!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
