54. The Many Faces of the Great Goddess & the lost art of Initiation with Sarsha Hope
What if we had been taught to honour the transitions of womanhood? Our first bleed, our changing bodies, our sexuality, creativity, grief and wisdom. What if these thresholds had been celebrated rather than silenced? In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend, mentor and founder of Somatic Dance International, Sarsha Hope, as we explore the four feminine archetypes: Maiden, Mother, Magda and Crone. Together we journey through mythology, Atua wāhine (Māori Goddesses), Goddess traditions from around the world and the lost art of initiation. We explore what it means to be witnessed through the transitions of womanhood, the wisdom held within our bodies, and the importance of reclaiming rites of passage that have been lost or disrupted through colonisation and patriarchal structures. This is an invitation to deepen your relationship with your body, its rhythms, the darkness within, and the many versions of womanhood we move through in a lifetime. In this episode, we explore: The lost art of initiation and the importance of honouring life's transitions The Maiden archetype: the threshold of potential The gifts and vulnerabilities of the Maiden How menarche shapes our relationship with our menstrual cycle The Mother archetype: devotion to something greater than ourselves The many faces of the Mother Durga: the lion-riding Goddess, fierce boundaries and feminine power The Magda: the enchantress, the wild woman and the reclamation of our instinctual nature Reframing menopause as a powerful threshold of womanhood The visibility wound and its relationship to the history of the witch trials An introduction to Hine-nui-te-pō, Atua wāhine of the spirit world Mary Magdalene and the mystery of the feminine: wisdom found within our bodies, blood and bones The Initiation Immersion 17–21 March 2027 | Āio Wira, Auckland A five-day immersion into feminine archetypes, somatic movement, menstrual cycle awareness, ritual and ceremony. Early bird closes 15 December 2026.

53. The gifts and vulnerabilities of the luteal phase with Red School founders Alexandra and Sjanie
Do you struggle in your luteal phase? Are you curious to deepen your understanding of the language of menstrual cycle awareness? This week on Āio, I am honoured to welcome Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, co-founders of Red School and co-authors of the iconic and hugely celebrated books Wild Power: Discover the Magic of the Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power and their latest offering, Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. Trailblazers in the emerging field of menstruality, Alexandra and Sjanie are pioneering a new language and approach to women's health and wellbeing, creativity, leadership and spiritual life, rooted in the power of the menstrual cycle and the initiatory journey from menarche to menopause and beyond. Bringing a collective 60 years of experience, they teach worldwide on the psycho-spiritual process of maturation that unfolds throughout our menstrual lives and are devoted to training the menstruality leaders of the future. They say don't meet your heroes - well, I'm SO glad I did! I have been a devoted student of their work for years. Their teachings have profoundly shaped the way I work with my own cycle, and the intimacy I've cultivated with myself through menstrual cycle awareness has truly changed my life. Wherever you are on your menstruality journey, this conversation is an invitation to deepen your understanding, cultivate greater compassion and build a more loving, intimate relationship with your cycle. What we cover: The cycle check-in: cultivating a new language for our inner experience The power and wisdom of the four inner seasons Working with our inner autumn (luteal phase), when the veil begins to thin Honouring the heightened sensitivity of inner autumn and attuning to its subtleties How our intuitive and psychic gifts can illuminate during inner autumn How childhood trauma can resurface in the second half of our cycle Working with inner autumn to bring greater grace and compassion into our lives The antidote: menstrual cycle awareness CONNECT Red School Instagram | @red.school Website | www.redschool.net STUDY WITH RED SCHOOL HERE Red School Programmes ĀIO Instagram |aio.thepodcast TikTok |@aio.thepodcast Website | www.aiothepodcast.com Tarikura Instagram | tarikura_

52. Activating the four quadrants of the masculine and feminine for greater connection and aliveness with Dan and Jenny Abdelnoor
What becomes possible when we learn to meet the full spectrum of the masculine and feminine within us? In this episode I sit down with Dan and Jenny Abdelnoor for a rich kōrero on the four quadrants of masculine and feminine energy - and how understanding each of them can bring greater harmony to our inner world, our relationships and the way we move through life. We explore the many expressions of the masculine and feminine, the parts of ourselves we've learned to favour or suppress, and what happens when these energies begin to work together rather than against one another. A deeply alive conversation about relationships, polarity, self-awareness and becoming more fully ourselves. What we cover: The four quadrants of the masculine and feminine, and the archetypes that live within the Working with the light and shadow expressions of each quadrant The suppression of the Wild Woman and Wild Man in the Western world Weaving ascending and descending energy—and why we need both Polarity, opposites and the feminine impulse to create, expand and multiply How children naturally move between these energies How air, fire, water and earth relate to the four quadrants CONNECT Dan & Jenny Abdelnoor Website | www.relationshiprising.com ĀIOInstagram |@aio.thepodcast TikTok |@aio.thepodcast Website | www.aiothepodcast.com

50. Atua Māori: Mauri, Mana & Whakapapa with Pā Shaquille Shortland
This might be one of the deepest wānanga we've ever had on Āio to date. Humbled and honoured to welcome teacher, mentor and friend Pā Shaquille Shortland to the podcast. Pā is an Indigenous knowledge holder from Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Terino and Te Orewai. He is a cultural leader and facilitator with more than 15 years of experience offering kaupapa Māori wānanga, reaching more than 25,000 people. This is a powerful exploration into mātauranga Māori, whakapapa and the vast world of Atua Māori. Together we explore the whakapapa of mauri, the many forms and dimensions of mana, Hine-nui-te-pō and the origins of karanga, and the deeper meaning woven through the process of pōwhiri. We journey into Tāne's role in the conception of humankind and the divine feminine woven through our whakapapa, the distinction between tikanga and ritenga, and the ways our creation stories continue to shape who we are as Māori. Our kōrero also travels beyond this earthly realm — into the wider galaxy, the Atua connected to other planetary realms, parallels with Japanese understandings of Atua, and the preservation of ancient knowledge. We close with a beautiful exploration of how we can begin to deepen our own relationship with Atua Māori. What we cover: The whakapapa of mauri (the lineage of mauri) A deep exploration of mana and it's many forms and dimensions Hine nui te pō and the origins of the karanga The process of pohiri and it's meaning Tane's role in the conception of humankind and the acknowledgement of the divine feminine passed down through generations.

49. Navigating the Mystery: Mental health, Grief, Sisterhood & my return to Āio with Tarikura Kapea & Robbie Fear
There comes a moment in many of our lives when everything we thought was certain begins to unravel. In this deeply personal episode, I step out from behind the interviewer's seat and into the hot seat myself. Joined by one of my besties, somatic and narrative therapist Robbie Fear, I share the story behind my year-long pause from Āio. We explore the heartbreak of grieving a future that never came to be, navigating the end of a loving relationship, losing friendships, rebuilding community, and what it means to begin again when every foundation beneath you has shifted. I also speak candidly about my journey with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), the impact it had on my mental health, and the practices, support and healing that helped me find my way back to myself. This conversation is an invitation into the messiness of being human. It is about learning to use our voice, asking for what we need, embracing community, and trusting that even in seasons of uncertainty, something beautiful is quietly being rebuilt. In this episode we explore: My year away from Āio and why I stepped back Living with PMDD and its impact on mental health Grieving relationships and imagined futures Conscious uncoupling and healing after heartbreak Friendship, community and the courage to ask for support Boundaries, authenticity and reclaiming your voice Building a purpose-led business with integrity Trusting the mystery and beginning again Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation in the context of PMDD.

47. Know Thyself: The Wisdom of Numbers with Numerology expert Chaz Reid
Numbers are more than figures on a page — they hold patterns, archetypes, and stories that shape the way we move through life. Today, we journey with expert numerologist Chaz Reid, founder of Soulprint, into the ancient philosophy of numerology. If you love astrology, human design, or personality work, this conversation will surely tickle your fancy. With a quest alive in her heart Chaz supports people to align with their purpose and tune into the wisdom of numbers. She shares how numbers can reveal our life path, soul number, and destiny number — offering both personal insight and a lens for understanding the collective field.

Write down your full date of birth in numbers (day, month, year). 2. Add each part separately (day, month, year) until each is reduced to a single digit or Master Number (11, 22, 33). 3. Add those three results together and reduce again to a single digit or Master Number. Example: 31 August 1986 • Day: 31 → 3 + 1 = 4 • Month: August = 8 → 8 • Year: 1 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 24 → 2 + 4= 6 • Total: 4 + 8 + 6 = 18 → 1 + 8 = 9 So, Life Path = 9.
