In this episode of Mind Your Head, I sit down with Tainui Kaihau for a real conversation about what it takes to keep going when life gets heavy — and how you rebuild yourself on the other side.

Tainui opens up about the darkest parts of his cancer journey: the fear, the mental battle, and the moments that tested him most. We talk about how he stayed mentally strong through it all, and how it shaped the mindset he lives by now — determination, perspective, and a drive to live life to the fullest and inspire others along the way.

We also get into sobriety and what changed when he stopped numbing things, the simple habits that keep him steady, and what it’s like learning to love and be loved while you’re still healing.

Tainui shares how he stays authentic with an online presence, deals with negative comments, protects his peace, and keeps grounded when the internet gets loud. With his fiancé now pregnant, we talk fatherhood — the kind of dad he wants to be, the home he wants to create, and the values he wants to live by going forward.

And we dive into his 100km charity run for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a cause close to his heart that supported him and his family during cancer — proof of what’s possible when purpose is bigger than pain. Tainui is one of the most positive, uplifting humans I’ve had the pleasure of talking to, and that energy is infectious. If you need perspective, motivation, or a reason to keep showing up, this one will land.

Saavanah is someone who’s always been driven — the kind of person who shows up, keeps moving, and gets on with it. But behind that strength has been a real internal battle that a lot of people would never pick.

In this episode of Mind Your Head, Saavanah takes us through her upbringing, the moments that shaped her sense of self and the ways food and exercise became wrapped up in perfectionism, anxiety and the need to feel in control — even when everything looked fine from the outside.

We talk about the reality of looking “high-functioning” while silently struggling, what self-doubt sounds like when it follows you everywhere and the turning points that forced her to start choosing herself. We also touch on what it’s like to live in a world where you’re constantly perceived and how that can feed the need for approval, perfection and pressure.

This is a honest conversation about identity, self-worth, recovery and learning to be kinder to yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting battles quietly, this one will land.
