Episode Thirty - My Mum Susan

Kia Ora 

Welcome to episode thirty.

In this episode you get to meet my mother and listen to her tell her stories.

I always knew I wanted my mum to share her story on this podcast and now is a great time for me to have her on the show.

She shares her life from the ages of zero to twelve and dives into what it was like for her and her siblings back in the 50's in rural NZ.

You will have your mind blown as you listen to all the tales my mum tells of her childhood and what they got up to.

You'll have to tell me your favourite one. I have too many to choose from

My mother is intelligent and a great speaker. She comes organized and well prepared with story after epic story of bugs, eels, sheep, holes, gravel pits and more.

I'm so grateful for my mother and only wish I had captured my father's story as well. Oh well.

Get ready to listen to some of the best stuff around, my mum.

Episode Two - April Zastrow

  Kia Ora and welcome to my second episode. In this episode I have a conversation with April Zastrow while she unfolds her story to us.  April raced in pro women's motocross for a decade. She also worked for Fly Racing as a designer.  For fun, she's passionate about river and wake surfing. She's also taken up something I'm passionate about--mountain biking. She's recently embarked on a new adventure with her partner, Kyle Warner, with mountain bike how-to instructional videos. Their videos help those who want to learn more skills in mountain biking, such as How to Manual , How to do a drop , or  How to wheelie  which has garnered over 2 million views.  April is smart, talented, and humble. I'm grateful she gave me some of her time to be my very first guest on The Candid Kiwi, and the opportunity for us to connect with her. To learn something new. To get pumped to get out there and do something for yourself and live your dream. Check out April & Kyle's ne

Getting ready to podcast

  Kia Ora. Welcome to the Candid Kiwi blog. I'm so happy you're here. This is very exciting for me to share my podcast with you.  It all started with my father sharing stories with me as a child. It sparked a curiosity in story telling and a deep love with how stories connect us. As a child, it connected me with my father and my family.  Fast forward to 2020. What a year, right? I decided I needed to find balance. I needed to work on me, while also working hard with my children--trying to help them navigate virtual/online school and the repercussions of a pandemic. I have done a lot of soul searching this year. Through self-reflection, journaling, prayer, and conversation with trusted loved ones, I decided to start this podcast. I decided that story telling was just what I needed. And perhaps, what others need. Through my stories, and others, I feel like I could connect us as humans. Just as I connected with my father through his stories.  I feel so good about this and look for

This first episode is a little bit about how I got to the place I am with the Candid Kiwi podcast. It's been quite the ride and in this first episode I got into detail of how this all came to be. I'm not tech savvy and so it's about as good as you'd think a 40 year old non tech savvy woman could do and I'm pretty proud of the results. Who knew I could learn so many new things so quickly! I'm sure it'll get easier and easier as time goes by and episodes get worked on. I'
