Tania is a māmā-mum of three, kuia-grandma, tuakana-sister, aunty and a strong leader who is the driving force behind our Real Talk kaupapa.
Heavily experienced in the school of life and hard knocks, Tania has come from not so humble beginnings to create a movement that inspires and empowers people all over Aotearoa to speak their truth. In her words ‘It is important to me to utilise this platform as it is intended – to encourage people to speak their truth, to encourage, to motivate, to inspire and to empower all those we connect with. If our kōrero-talk can change or save one life, then it’s all worth it.’

Real Talk NZ - We are helping to break generational cycles. We are all survivors of traumatic experiences, so we are passionate about using our platform to change the narrative, especially for our rangatahi-youth. We are helping to shine light on traumatic experiences and normalise discussing these once ‘taboo’ topics. Through this, we show others who might be going through a similar path right now that they are not alone. Because when we speak, we heal, when we speak, we free ourselves, when we speak, we help others heal. We encourage everyone to speak their truth because people don't understand what you've been through unless you are real, raw and honest about your experiences.
Our Real Talk kauapapa-events happen regularly throughout Aotearoa and all are welcome. For more info on how to get to an event visit https://realtalknz.co.nz/

Nix Adams at Real Talk Waikato
*Contains coarse language
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa, nau mai hoki mai ki te kaupapa kōrero Real Talk.
I’m Tania Carr, and today in this episode, you are going to hear the powerful words of wisdom from Nix Adams.
Nix took the stage at our Real Talk Mō Ngā Rangatahi event in Waikato, to share her journey with addiction, abuse and grief. She shares how she made a conscious choice to make a change, with a goal to see her tamariki again after being separated from them. She knew that the hurt and the pain could continue to own her and control how she was to live her life, her behaviours, habits, and identity.
She now proudly has her kids full time, and it was awesome to see her daughter Russia sitting in the audience by her māmās side. Nix has definitely utilised her experiences, challenges and obstacles to create a pathway to help others on their journey through life too, just by being her awesome self.
Here is Nix’s story...
Nix Adams is far more than an influencer. Nix shot to fame by being completely authentic in sharing her day-to-day life, the good, the bad, and the hilarious!
She inspires so many by sharing her journey, everything from DIY gardening tips to motivational & healthy inspiration through her weekly Wellness Wednesday updates.
She also uses her platform to share and promote NZ businesses on her monthly ‘Supporting Small Businesses’ live videos on her Facebook page CWK.
Nix has just been awarded the TV Personality of the Year in the New Zealand Television Awards 2022 – get it girl!
“I’m using this platform to talk about real sh*t… It’s about real stuff, real kōrero that my whanau can relate to “
