It's a speech that hits hard and hits home about the pressure to be everything but never too much. The panel explores how this modern feminist kōrero translates into te reo Māori—not just the words but the emotion, the frustration, and the everyday truths behind it. It's an episode for anyone who's ever felt like they're constantly walking a line—and wants the reo to talk about it.
