Mea Motu (World champion boxer and domestic abuse survivor)

Mea's life today as a mum of 5 in her early 30s looks very different to how it did just a few years ago. Through her 20s she was stuck in marriage as a victim of relentless and brutal domestic abuse with unimaginable violence and cruelty.Mea bravely opens up about her past and how she managed to survive and rebuild her life. By sharing her story, she hopes to empower others to find their own strength and use their voice to make a difference.I absolutely adore Mea and I know you guys will too. I think we can all get something from Mea’s journey from rock bottom to the top of the world. If she can get through this, still smiling and laughing. We can all get through whatever adversity life throws your way.This episode needs to come with a strong warning and I would urge anyone who feels triggered by this discussion to reach out and ask for help. In the words of Mea herself:“Speak and do not be ashamed.”https://www.instagram.com/mea_meamotu/Thanks to Skin Institute for sponsoring this episode.Did you know 6000 Kiwis are diagnosed with melanoma every year and 300 people die from it? So getting checked is so important- early detection can save your life.Skin Institute are the skin cancer experts. I went in a couple of weeks ago for my first ever full body skin check and I wish I did it years ago. I was in and out in 20 minutes and it was covered by health insurance (yours might be too).They have 12 clinics nationwide so there’s probably one near you.You can book an assessment online:https://www.skininstitute.co.nz/Or phone 0800 SKIN DR  0800 754 637 Hosted on Acast.
