      <image:title>Blog - The missing piece of my    Whare Tapa Whā - Perhaps unsurprisingly, the AI tool used Te Whare Tapa Whā as a framework for our check-ins. Te Whare Tapa Whā is Tā Mason Durie’s model that describes well-being as a whare, where health depends on balancing four taha: tinana, hinengaro, whānau, and wairua. When all four taha are in balance, and grounded in Whenua – a person thrives. But if one is neglected or out of balance, it impacts overall well-being. These check-ins helped me reflect holistically and gave me small areas of focus depending on which taha needed attention.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Burning candles and BHAGs - Lessons in Time, Focus, and Growth - This simple lesson didn’t resurface for me until today when I lit a candle to create ambient light and a sweet caramel fragrance whilst having a second go at my goals for 2025. Which then led me to writing this blog (and discovering a few candles where I’ve clearly done it wrong in the past - check out this sad one, wells upon wells).</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Why the number 3 is special to me - Timelapse through life….going home to my marae for the first time at age 16; falling in love with an HP boy; having a child young and knowing that I wanted her to know her whakapapa; a growing connection to our turangawaewae in Rawhiti through regular haerenga home (our babies at their marae on my side in Rāwhiti, Bay of Islands).</image:title>
      <image:caption>Perhaps it was the half a dozen or so Māori roles in a public policy career; the start-stop-start reo Māori journey; using what little reo I had to korero to my Nan during her final days; our taokete hononga with the Sciascia whānau and sitting at the feet of Pōua Piri.</image:caption>
