My journey shows that with awhi and understanding the right support, recovery is not only possible but it’s so very powerful and my journey continues.
I guess how my life looked in the past and how it is now and how much hope I have for the future now is what really keeps me going.
So I've been home and climbed my maunga, swum in my awa, sat on the whenua, done all those things, and started to really find out who I am as a wahine.
