À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to Burning Bridges — a podcast rooted in real stories of adversity, resilience, and transformation.

Through raw, unfiltered conversations, we dive into the moments that define us — the rock bottoms, the breaking points, and the sparks that ignite healing.

These are the journeys of people who’ve felt stuck, lost, or shattered... and found their way back to themselves.

Here, we believe in the power of storytelling — not just to inspire, but to connect, to heal, and to remind us that we’re never alone in what we face.

    • #15 Uncle Tamahae Elkington | A Disability does not Disable your Life
      Feb 14 2026

      Uncle Tamahae Elkington was born in Porirua, Aotearoa, with spina bifida at a time when doctors didn’t know how to support children and their families with disabilities.

      Being hospitalised for two years from a baby, early institutionalisation planted a seed of anger he didn’t yet understand — an anger that followed him into adulthood.

      Growing up tough, learning to fight in boys’ homes, surrounded by violence and survival, he found himself pulled into gangs and a life of crime.
      When his parents moved to Brisbane, Australia he joined them — but the cycle continued. Petty crime turned into heavier offences and prison became a reality.

      To escape more prison time, he returned to Aotearoa.
      There, something shifted and he was made to attend Te Wananga Raukawa. Three years later he finishes with a degree.

      But the real turning point?
      A men’s group.
      He attended the same course 3 times, a total of 3 years.

      Through that journey, he re-discovered his worth, value and voice.
      He began healing and found solace in music, meeting people and travelling.

      Today, Uncle Tamahae proudly adorned with his moko kanohi, grounded in culture, wisdom, and self-awareness.
      Living with spina bifida, having lost his leg, and wheelchair-bound from the age of 16, he refuses to let anything define or limit him.

      It is proof that:
      * It’s never too late to heal.
      * Your past does not decide your future.
      * A disability does not disable your life.
      * And no matter how far you’ve fallen, you can rise with dignity and mana.

      We are deeply honoured to share this kōrero.

      Share this with someone who needs hope ❤️
      And let us know what part of Uncle Tamahae’s journey moved you the most.

    • #13 Warrior in the Ring | Corbin "The Curse" Mita
      Jan 18 2026

      Born in Aotearoa, Corbin Mita carried a heavy weight no child should bear. After surviving sexual abuse, he found the courage to speak up—and the strength to heal through discipline, community, and combat.

      His mother did what she could with Western healing methods, but the real breakthrough came when he discovered martial arts—a space where pain turned into power, and silence turned into purpose.

      Corbin found more than a gym—he found belonging. Fighting across New Zealand and overseas, he now trains out of Gold Coast, Australia, as a rising force in the IBC (International Brawling Championship). He takes us deep into his world—his daily grind, the mental warfare before every fight, and the soft moments shared with his fiancée Ella, who stands by him through every round in and out of the ring.

      This conversation is raw, real, and heavy-hitting—just like his punches.

      Corbin speaks on the power of humility, the quiet strength in healing, and the fire that drives his relentless pursuit of greatness in the ring.
