Krissy shares the story of escaping a wellness retreat, Brady opens up about feeling judged in a supposedly inclusive spiritual space, and reveals what happened when he tried frog poison and ayahuasca in the jungle. Tati calls out TikTok’s clean girl aesthetic and makes a big confession.

We unpack what happens when ancient wisdom gets repackaged and sold back to us, and how others profit from making us feel like we’re never enough. Drawing on our experiences working with rangatahi, we explore the pressure to buy our way into feeling whole, the difference between individual wellbeing and collective hauora Māori, and the importance of the people around us.
