Kia ora and welcome back to the Māori Millionaire Podcast! I’m your host, Te Kahukura Boynton. My mission is to help bridge the wealth gap by sharing not just financial lessons, but also the mindset shifts that completely changed my life.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Mental health & suicide are discussed in this episode.

At 17, I was depressed, suicidal, and dropped out of high school. At 18, I had a realisation that if my life was going to change, it had to start with me. This episode is about the mindset and practical steps I took to save my own life, lose weight, and kickstart my self-development journey.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: ✅ Why everything starts with a single decision to change ✅ How to build habits one step at a time without overwhelming yourself ✅ The importance of messy action (my first step was just a 5-minute walk!) ✅ Why consistency matters more than results in the beginning ✅ Surrounding yourself with the right people and environments ✅ How health habits mirror money habits — you can’t out-train a bad diet, just like you can’t out-earn poor money habits ✅ Non-food ways to celebrate progress ✅ Why you should stop waiting for Monday and just start now

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, lost, or ready to take back control of their life. If I could do it, you can too.
