CREATOR & HOST
Every one of these faces thought she had it figured out. Bless her!Stepping into the unknown can feel like leaping off a cliff, and yet here I am, leaping anyway (wild, right?!). Weaving Wisdom was born from the messy middle of life: the joy, the heartbreak, the healing, the unravelling, and all the lessons in between.
I’ve lived through painful relationships, deep grief, and hit the kind of rock bottom that nearly took me out. Surviving a suicide attempt was the unexpected turning point that sparked my healing. It wasn’t easy, but it led me to peel back the layers, face my shadows, and reclaim my power. Alongside the hard stuff, I’ve also danced in joy, belly-laughed with loved ones, and wandered down unexpected paths full of magic and meaning.
Weaving Wisdom began as a podcast, a space for real conversations, shared stories, and the kind of truth-telling that helps us feel seen and a little less alone. Over time, it has grown into something deeper: a way of bringing people together through connection, curiosity, and wholehearted conversations. It's an invitation to slow down, get honest, and remember that none of us are meant to navigate this human experience alone.
Whether you're tuning into the podcast, joining me at an event, connecting through a conversation, or simply taking in what resonates, this space was created for you. A space where healing doesn't have to be so damn lonely. Where it can be light-hearted, honest, deep, and wildly human. A space to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the wisdom that's been within you all along.
So welcome to the table. Pull up a seat. Let’s unravel and reweave together.
About Terina
I’m Māori, Irish, and English. Born in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), raised in Rotorua, and now based on the sunny Gold Coast, Australia. I whakapapa to Ngāti Rehua and Ngātiwai on my father’s side, and Ngai Tāmanuhiri on my mother’s. I was raised with a strong connection to my Māori identity and hold tight to those roots even from afar. Outside of the corporate life, the podcast mic and the community space, I’m a lover of music, nature, travel, damn good food, and stories, especially the kind that make you feel something.What I’m Creating
Through Weaving Wisdom, I'm creating opportunities for people to connect, reflect, heal, and grow together. The podcast shares real stories of resilience, transformation, identity, and life's unexpected twists, opening up conversations that remind us we're far more connected than we often realize.
My work is about bringing people together through storytelling, shared experiences, and meaningful conversations that inspire self-discovery, belonging, and authentic connection.
If you're looking for a no-fluff, soul-deep kind of space where you don't have to wear a mask or fix yourself to belong, you're in the right place.
