Pacific Empowerment
Pacific Empowerment Podcast was founded by a Tongan woman entrepreneur, Akanesi Kaufusi, to uplift and inspire Pacific Island people to take bold action, chase their dreams, and dream as big as they dare. This podcast challenges the limitations of traditional thinking and cultural expectations that often hold our people back. It’s a space to break free from fear, take risks, and rewrite what’s possible - no matter your background or environment. Your situation doesn’t define you. Your vision does.

Episode 3 - How to Build Mental Toughness
In this episode, I dive deep into what it really takes to build mental toughness - especially as a Pacific Islander navigating the pressures of life, entrepreneurship, and personal growth. I share stories from my own journey, lessons from books like Think and Grow Rich and The Secret, and the mindset shifts that helped me overcome self-doubt, cultural expectations, and emotional challenges. If you’ve ever struggled with negative thoughts, criticism, or feeling like you're not enough - this episode is for you.
Let’s build the resilience you need to rise.
