Tēnā koutou katoa, Fakaalofa lahi atu, and heartfelt greetings. Welcome to “Ko wai au - The podcast”.
I am so glad to have you here, whether intentional or stumbled upon nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai!
This podcast has been initiated by the constant prompts from Te Wairua Tapu to share my testimony on different occasions and platforms. So, I am praying that this will be a space for whakaaro waho, kōrerorero, learning and growth. (*This should be a trigger warning on its own) Full disclosure, this is an outlet to account for the unfolding of self - particularly - myself. Hence the name “Ko wai au” - who am i.
I am qualified in some things but most of all I speak from my own truth and experience. I do not claim to be an expert on anything and so hopefully I can invite others to join me by speaking into this space and sharing their knowledge and worldviews. So, let’s get into it :D
Ko wai au - Who am I: #3 Restoration and re-parenting
Disclaimer: This episode is a reflection of what I have learnt so far and I am so sure I will keep learning more about it, I have barely scratched the surface! I am not a professional of any medical or psychological sort. I simply speak from my experiences and my own truth. Please, take what I share lightly and I encourage you to do your own research and soul searching.There are many different perspectives and ways of understanding these topics (IFS - Internal Family Systems, Reparenting etc) so, if this interests you - nau mai, haere mai, whakarongo mai! Karawhiua 😁
Ko wai au - Who am I: #2 I am a survivor
Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, this podcast is based on my own truth and experience as well as influence from other people, Scripture and Aunty Google. So please do not take any medical advice from this session. If you or someone you know, is or has been affected by the nature of this topic- please seek help.
I really struggled with prepping for this session, I realise now that in order to understand who I am- it makes sense to acknowledge the journey I have been on in the becoming of who I am.
My name is Roxette Ogotau, I am a survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
