Numbers are more than figures on a page — they hold patterns, archetypes, and stories that shape the way we move through life. Today, we journey with expert numerologist Chaz Reid, founder of Soulprint, into the ancient philosophy of numerology. If you love astrology, human design, or personality work, this conversation will surely tickle your fancy. With a quest alive in her heart Chaz supports people to align with their purpose and tune into the wisdom of numbers. She shares how numbers can reveal our life path, soul number, and destiny number — offering both personal insight and a lens for understanding the collective field. May these teachings remind you that purpose is not something we chase, but something written in the fabric of who we already are.

Write down your full date of birth in numbers (day, month, year). 2. Add each part separately (day, month, year) until each is reduced to a single digit or Master Number (11, 22, 33). 3. Add those three results together and reduce again to a single digit or Master Number. Example: 31 August 1986 • Day: 31 → 3 + 1 = 4 • Month: August = 8 → 8 • Year: 1 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 24 → 2 + 4= 6 • Total: 4 + 8 + 6 = 18 → 1 + 8 = 9 So, Life Path = 9.

In this episode, we are joined by the powerful and poetic Ahi Nyx (Te Atiawa, Ngāti Raukawa, Mōriori), a takatāpui kairaranga (weaver) based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland). Ahi is a living vessel of mātauranga Māori who brings raranga back into our homes, our bodies, our communities — and into the healing of our identity. Raranga, the sacred art of Māori weaving, is more than a craft — it is a portal to remember who we are. Together, we enter Te Whare Pora, the spiritual house of weaving, and explore how raranga reconnects us to ancestral memory, gender fluidity, and the reclamation of our cultural birthrights. Ahi speaks into the complexities of tikanga, when it can be broken and when it must be upheld. We talk about how weaving can be both a personal and collective healing ritual, especially for takatāpui and those carrying intergenerational grief or disconnection from their whakapapa (lingiege). This kōrero unravels what it means to protect our mana, to be a koha not a hōhā, and to stand strong in our truths even in the face of adversity. Ahi's wānanga are a reclamation. Her presence is a protest. Her weaving is her karakia (prayer). Whether you're Māori or tauiwi (foreigner), takatāpui or tāne (male), wahine (female) or non-binary — this episode will leave you inspired to pick up the threads of your own story, and start weaving them home. What we cover: What is raranga and why it's more than weaving Te Whare Pora and the wairua (spirit) of creation Working with manu (birds) & who can work with their feathers Closed practices, cultural protocols, and breaking tikanga (protocols) Weaving as identity healing for takatāpui and Māori The truth about Māori shoes (yes, we had them!)

Together, we explore how true leadership emerges from deep listening, heart-centered entrepreneurship, and reclaiming joy. Únagh shares her journey of walking through a deep soul fracture and offers wisdom and guidance for navigating challenging times.

Today I am joined by Prageeth Jayathissa, we unravel the tangled web of cultural appropriation woven through the modern yoga industry. From the colonial roots of yogic practices to the commodification of sacred symbols and the misrepresentation of feminine deities, we hold nothing back. We dive into how capitalism distorts ancient teachings, the unsettling rise of "light supremacy," and why the chakra system you think you know might be more Jungian than yogic. How do we respect yogic roots, serve the community, and still keep the lights on? Join us as we dive into the heart of a powerful, uncomfortable conversation about honoring yoga's essence, not just its aesthetics. Prageeth Jayathissa stems from Sri Lankan origins, but bred in Aotearoa. He fuses his teaching from his grandparents, with ancient scripture, and modern philosophy, to revive and reinvigorate a timeless tradition. He works in sustainability and climate change by day, and explores its integration with yoga by night. Prageeth wrote a flow chart book around this topic and we reference this as our guide throughout the podcast. This episode is not intended to point fingers or to conjure blame or shame, it is purely to bring light to parts of this practice that is asking for collective healing. This discussion is not asking you to stop engaging with yoga, it's asking us to look at our blind spots, to continue our education within this realm and to honour this ancient tradition on and off the mat. What we cover: The colonisation story of the Indian subcontinent. Understanding the cultural history of yogic tradition Woman in yoga The chakra system we know today is based on Carl Jung's work. The cultural appropriation of feminine deities. Please stop calling your sacred sexuality workshops "Tantra" Light supremacy Capitalism and yoga How can we be off service and still pay our rent?

Hello beautiful humans. Todays episode is so fucking delicious! We have Sophia Paskell, a friend and incredibly inspiring woman on the pod. Sophia is a Mother, a Writer, a Childbirth Educator and an experienced Birth Doula. Having attended well over 200 births and part of thousands of pregnancies, Sophia has dedicated 16 years to guiding women inward to a deeper knowing and to strengthen their intuition. Sophia explores life's intense themes unconventionally — grief, death, fear, love — she encourages full, unbridled expression. Her workshops empower deep self connection to unearth and release authenticity. Sophia embraces the raw, the real, and the profoundly beautiful journey of life. You honeys are really going to love this one - we chat about rites of passages, the maiden, mother crone archetypes, expressing grief, birth and we touch on huge impact of experiencing miscarriage. This is such a potent kōrero (conversation) for women in all walks of life, I'm sure you will feel inspired and empowered to be the full fuck off women that you are! We are done dampening our expression of emotion, Sophia is such a guiding light in that space - of freely, truly authentically expressing all of our shades. TRIGGER WARNING - we discuss miscarriage in this epsiode (in an empowering and supportive way) What we cover: Reconnecting with her Māoritanga through discovering the grief her grandmother experienced Rites of passage - the maiden, the mother the crone.
