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 4 - How to Break the Cycle
Is faith alone enough to truly change us? In this episode, we dive deep into a topic often considered taboo in our Pacific communities: the connection between faith, hidden wounds, and true healing. Growing up in the church, many of us were taught that faith and prayer alone would change us - but why do cycles of hurt, anger, and generational trauma still continue?
We explore why faith and inner work must go together, how unhealed wounds affect the way we treat ourselves and our loved ones, and why breaking these cycles is crucial for our families and future generations. Drawing from biblical examples, personal stories, and insights from psychology, this episode will challenge you to reflect on your journey and encourage you to take the steps needed for true transformation.
Listen until the end, reflect deeply, and decide for yourself. It’s time to break the cycle and become who God created you to be.
