Le Talanoa Therapy Show
Le Talanoa Therapy podcast was born from a deep desire to enrich and uplift our community, especially during the challenging lockdown period in Auckland. Guided by the vision of our founder Queen Shirl’e, we have created a space where guests can share their stories, experiences, and insights in a safe and supportive environment. Through talanoa, the Samoan word for conversation, Shirl'e uses her expertise in mentoring, coaching and positive psychology to empower our guests and inspire our listeners.
