Welcome to a space where transformation isn't just a goal- it's a way of life. At "Survive to Thrive," we believe in rewriting your story, not with perfection but with purpose. Whether you are navigating personal growth, shifting mindset, or building a business rooted in authenticity, we're here to guide you through the process.
Are you, feeling disconnected from your true self?
Do you have a desire for balance and wellbeing?
Are you lacking self-worth and confidence?
Are you frustrated with your current life or career?
Do you feel lonely and isolated?
Are you on a healing journey?
Do you have fear of change or uncertainty?

Through trainings, immersive workshops, holistic retreats, and powerful digital resources - like ebooks, workbooks and guided practices - we help you peel back the layers and reonnect with your trueset self. As the author of The New Zealand Dream and 12 other inspiring books, I have walked this path of transformation, rising from life's storms to find clarity, courage, and hope.

When Someone You Love Is in a Gang—The Hidden Cost of Association
"Sometimes, you don’t have to be the one in the gang for it to change your life. Sometimes, just knowing the wrong person is enough to pull you into a world you never asked to be in."
Maybe you’re listening to this right now because you’re in that situation. Maybe you feel trapped between loyalty and self-preservation. Or maybe you’ve already walked away, but the scars run deep. Wherever you are on this journey, just know—you’re not alone. And today, we’re going to talk about:
- How association with gang life affects you, even if you’re not in the gang.
- The emotional, mental, and physical toll it takes.
- How to break free, set boundaries, and protect your own future.
