Te Kāinga Wāhine Podcast
In this podcast we focus on unlocking the leadership potential we know exists in all wāhine.
We believe that leadership is not just about occupying positions of authority but drawing on a set of values and behaviors that empower you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and purpose.
Through real conversations, we dive into all sorts of topics - from identity development to business and career, to carving out your unique space in the world, all through sharing practical lived experiences.
We explore the connections of our journeys, navigating our past, present and future to weave together your own unique whariki for life.

Building Resilience - Part 2 | Episode 34
In Part 2 of this three-part series on building resilience, Amy explores the complex dynamics of the Queen Bee Syndrome and its impact on wāhine leadership. Through candid kōrero, she examines how this phenomenon manifests, the challenges it poses, and its broader implications on wāhine Māori.
Drawing from personal anecdotes and research, Amy highlights how some women, after fighting hard to reach the top, may inadvertently pull the ladder up behind them. This conversation dives into the reasons behind such behaviour, the scarcity mindset it stems from, and its effects on our community.
Amy reflects on the importance of creating a supportive environment where wāhine uplift one another, fostering a culture of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and kotahitanga in society. She shares insights on breaking the cycle, mentoring others, and rising together, ensuring no one is left behind.
