About Gemma Rose

I’m a Pisces Sun, Libra Moon, Taurus Rising, a 2/4 Generator, part-time meme dealer, D&B lover —a highly sensitive human who found Breathwork during my Saturn Return after having my son in 2019. He changed everything 🤱

Not long after that, I became a solo mum navigating divorce after a 10-year relationship and utilised coaching, community & somatic tools to rebuild my sense of self again 🌬️👯‍♀️❤️‍🔥

I live in Kirikiriroa Hamilton (in NZ) but I grew up in Brisbane (Australia) and I’m the oldest of 4 siblings 🏠

For the past 3 years, I’ve helped 100s of people move through uncertainty, trust their intuition, and take big leaps toward their true calling inside my programmes, workshops & retreats 👁️

Before that? I spent a decade in the start-up world—launching businesses, working in award-winning ventures, and co-founding a youth charity that raised over $1M for community projects. I’ve consulted, campaigned, sat on boards, and if you want, can infodump how-to engage in strategic philanthropy, community governance, and systems change 😉🧠

Burning myself out in hustle culture working 80+ hour weeks in my 20s got me curious to embody more feminine energy as I built this business 🧘‍♂️

Now, I’m passionate about helping sensitive creatives and entrepreneurs KNOW who they are, and get paid to do what they love AND staying well in the process 🙏

I’ve got a First-Class Honors Business degree, been on scholarship to study entrepreneurship in the Netherlands, and have spent the last 6 years immersed in trauma-informed healing+ trainings that I bring alongside my background in leadership 🤍

But more than anything—I know what it’s like to want more out of life. To be multi-passionate with lots of projects on the go. To rewrite your story. To recreate yourself. To finally say YES to your heart. To HEAL 🫶

If that’s a bit of you, welcome. We’re gonna get along just fine 💛

Take Your Meds Podcast Season 2: Episode 16 Featuring Tania Han and Peter Butler

Gemma Rose — Sun, 14 May 2023 15:12:05 -0700

The final episode of Season Two looks a little different than the others. I sit down with two industry mavericks and thought leaders in community wellbeing and systems change to explore the new paradigm of leadership. If you're passionate about service, impact and contribution, and work in, with or for communities, this episode is going to supercharge your knowledge on leadership for systems change.

In this episode we explore:

- Systems change and the redistrubtion power

- Inequality and inequity

- What leadership for wellbeing looks like

- Biggest mistakes in leadership for systems change

- Trends within systems change, wellbeing in communities and leadership

- Navigating privilege and decentering individuals in organising for change

One of my favourite quotes from this episode: "we need to move the power and resouce base away from beaurocratic, institutionalised siloed to whaanau and hapouri to control their own destiny" - Pete

Tania Han

Tania is an extroverted introvert and believer in the power of people. Although she is now an independent strategy and impact consultant, she started her career in banking for over a decade before running away to join the impact, startup and public sectors. As a leader, collaborator and mentor with an insatiable love for learning, deep thinking, getting things done and supporting others, Tania has spent the last few years seeking out and working with people and organisations making the world a better place. She is a parent to a toddler and an ally for climate justice, social equity and dismantling oppression.

Peter Butler (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Kauwhata, Mōkai Pātea, Ngāti Paoa, Ngai Tai & Werehi)

Of Māori and Welsh ancestry, Peter was brought up in the urban Māori environment of Highbury in Palmerston North, at a time when urban drift was at its peak. His close knit whānau suffered the loss kuia & koroua in the 1970s and ‘80s. This was a time of change and instability and the whānau lost much of its mātauranga of Te Ao Maori. In his adult years, he has striven to regain that knowledge.

Peter has been involved within Youth and Community Development for the past twenty-eight years. He is currently the Kaihautū of the Highbury Whānau Centre, a unique organisation born from the desire of urban whānau to support their children. Passionately representing his community, he challenges civic leaders, decision makers, kaimahi and whānau to be creative and committed in the pursuit of equitable opportunities for our youth to develop and grow. He draws from the strength and legacy of his Tīpuna to constantly strive in the face of adversity, and the understanding of the need to ‘adapt or die’.

Peter integrates social integrity with business know-how in his mahi. As a social entrepreneur, he promotes sustainability within the field of community development.

Season 2: Episode 12 Featuring Hellè Weston

Gemma Rose — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 22:26:21 -0700

This episode is a big deal. I got to sit down and chat with my mentor who has supported me to reclaim my spiritual gifts, unlock new levels of creativity, and renegotiate the ways I show up in the world.

Hellè Weston is an intuitive coach, mentor and founder of Owaken Breathwork. Her unique inside-out approach supports sensitive visionaries and creatives to increase their impact in the world by prioritising personal alignment and leading with intuition.

Originally from New Zealand, Hellè is now based between Australia & LA and leads sold-out live events around the world alongside working privately with high-profile changemakers and leading the online Intuitive Impact Mastermind.

In this episode we explore:
- how to manifest something bigger than your circumstance
- calibrating the nervous system for visions and dreams
- how we can be afraid of being successful
- how to grow into calling into your dream partner
- the power of the inner-work
- the difference between your signals and cues from the body, thoughts and intuition
- why we should examine what feels safe and comfortable
- how to renegotiate your reality
- how we can be a willing participant with God
- finding reciprocity with nature
- what the new paradigm of leadership looks like and sounds like
- authentic leadership
- potential and exploring new horizons
- guidance for a 5 minute Breathwork practise

One of my favourite golden nuggets:

"If we don't feel safe to bring something into our life, to attract it, create it, and be a part of it, the subconscious which includes the body, will find ways to push it away."

Season 2: Episode 10 featuring Maluseu Monise and Michael Moore

Gemma Rose — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 01:48:44 -0700

Michael and Maluseu are two dear friends, and to sit down together and record this episode was such a gift. If you want to explore leadership through a lense you haven't before, this is for you. Perhaps you've never considered yourself a leader, or perhaps you're curious about leadership, or re-imagining what it means for you. Let this be a conversation that opens up new possibilities and pathways for you to step deeper into the calling you have on your life for leadership.

Maluseu Monise is from Rotuma, and describes themselves as a Hanujuologist. They are the co-host of the The Far Queue podcast, which invites conversations about access to equity within the context of Aotearoa. Maluseu has a background in tertiary education, is currently completing their Masters and if you're from the Waikato, you've probably met this giant charismatic myth at an event of some kind, because they're always showing up in community to serve, contribute and leave a legacy.

Michael Moore is a father, poet, story-teller and facilitator who brings a deep felt sense of aroha into every space he walks. He isn’t afraid to walk into the darkest of places, inside himself, and call forward parts of himself for integration and harmony, and supports men and boys to do the same.

In this episode we explore:

What inner-leadership is all about
The distinctions between transformation, transferring, translating and transparency
The three ways we can whakarongo
How your leadership is unlocked through your lived experience
How we need to decentre the teacher in education
What fear-based leadership looks like and sounds like
Inner alignment for creative expression
What we can learn from Hine-tiitama and Hine-nui-te-poo
How to welcome healthy shame
What it means to be a hypocrite of your past
What we can find in the Va
How great story-telling is equally as important as story-releasing
Why we need to examine the stories we keep

Season 2: Episode 01 featuring Michael Moore

Gemma Rose — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 01:21:44 -0700

It felt right to start the second Season of Take Your Meds with Michael Moore. He’s a dear friend, father, partner, poet, story-teller and facilitator who brings a deep felt sense of aroha into every space he walks. He isn’t afraid to walk into the darkest of places, inside himself, and call forward parts of himself for integration and harmony, and supports men and boys to do the same!

In this episode we explore:
• Life as a religion
• Taking a break from the things we master
• Male fragility and privilege
• The heroism of vulnerability
• Excavating our inner-worlds
• Creation vs creativity moving through us
• Trauma recovery
• Nurturing the whenua
• Creating safety within ourselves
• Navigating relationships
• The divine feminine
• Being the baby again

"Ko Taupiri te Maunga
Ko Waikato te Awa
Ko Tainui te Waka
Ko Ngati Maniapoto tōku Iwi

The roles I honour most in my life at the moment are being a Dad, a partner, a guide to men and young men alike and most recently, a student to the many masks I wear.

I’m a big dreamer, attuning my body and being to love and birdsongs, sometimes with ease, sometimes in the throes of self destruction.

Perhaps storyteller is a role that gives me my greatest sense of place as an individual.

I’m fortunate to share inside gorgeous kaupapa, and have found a place for my own heart expansion in Poutama Rites of Passage, reintroducing Te Aō Māori rites into the lives of tāne and tama Tāne throughout Waikato rohe.

My name is Michael, but most people actually call me Megs, a genderless nickname that invites me still, to softer living.

Mauri Ora"

Gemma Rose — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 00:59:10 -0800

She believes that leaders create more leaders, and this episode dives into the mindsets, attitudes and beliefs for living a purpose driven life she loves making a massive impact on the world around her. What I loved most about this episode was Erana's acceptance of the duality in life and how she navigates emotions and uncertainty with radical self-belief and determination to make a positive contribution to the world.

Erana is currently Operations Manager and Project Lead at the Wise Group, where she brings her visionary perspective to three transformational community projects.

At the same time, Erana also co-led the development of a local initiative called ‘Here to help u’, which has revolutionised how people access social and wellbeing support. In just over a year and through the combined efforts of partners, providers and volunteers; almost 9,000 people have received the full support they needed, and ‘Here to help u’ is now growing into other areas and regions. Previously Erana worked at the DHB, developing successful projects to support Māori workforce development and healthy homes. The healthy homes project Erana led, significantly reduced avoidable child hospital admissions.

Rangipare Belshaw-Ngaropo is of Ngaati Awa descent and affiliated to Mataatua, Te Arawa, Tainui, Takitimu and Ngatokimatawhaorua.

She’s has represented Aotearoa at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, United Nations Expert Mechanism on The Right of Indigenous Peoples in Switzerland and attended the World Indigenous Decade of Water Summit with He Kuaka Maarangaranga in Minesota. But most importantly, she’s a maamaa.

She draws her strength from her whaanau, hapuu iwi, tiipuna and future tamariki. She’s held several governance and leadership roles locally and nationally uplifting, elevating, and raising Maaori aspirations.

We met working together in the youth development space, and what I love most about Rangipare is her connection to her culture, community, and creativity, and how she unleashes her authenticity and self-expression through these channels.

Lehi Duncan is an embodiment of servant leadership. He's held a number of leadership for social change roles across the country from managing a youth development charity, to managing distributions of a government grant-making body, to philanthropic governance and now growing the city of Kirikiriroa Hamilton working in local council. Over the years, we've grown a friendship over mutual interests in spirituality, leadership, philosophy, philanthropy and youth development, and was the person who gifted the name of this podcast to me: Take Your Meds!

This episode was juicy, and it felt like we covered so much terrain in such a short time. The episode really speaks into the themes of presence, insignificance, and reclaiming your body. What I love about Lehi is that he has an ability to craft potent and powerful messages in flow worthy of being printed on t-shirts. My top three quotes:

"Acceptance is not trying to change anything and being okay with it”

"False humility looks like I’m not good enough. I don’t deserve to take up space. I don’t deserve to be present in my body. True humility is recognising your place and space.”

"My actions are insignificant unless I’m part of a movement."

We dive into:

The power of insignificance
Reframing what medicine is
Letting go of being in control
Motorbikes as a tool for emotional regulation
Tattoos as a mechanism to reclaim the body
Overcoming dissociation
Authentic self-expression through the body
False humility vs true humility
Acknowledging your own disfunction
How capitalism impacts the human experience

She talks in depth about triggering moments, and how to navigate through them in a place of personal power. She dives into practical ways to overcome limiting beliefs, and how sleep should be more of priority in our lives if we want to be our best.

My favourite bit? This golden nugget....

"Holding a belief doesn’t mean it’s true. A helpful belief that is not true is still helpful if it doesn’t hurt anyone. An unhelpful belief that’s untrue is even worse. Because it’s not helping you grow."

Welcome to the #TYMPodcast! We're diving deep into the different medicines millenials take to find the confidence to live in their truth!

This episode broke the stigma around mental health, and talks at depth around many ways you can apply healing balm to your emotions.

Rawinia Judson is a transformational Author & Coach supporting wellbeing and expression through curiosity, connection and courage.

She's spent the better part of ten years in and out of states of depression and high-functioning anxiety. Despite this, Rawinia successfully transformed her life studying psychology, personal development and being a student of spirituality. She now supports those who believe there is more to life as they currently know it through her writing, coaching, mentoring and events.

In this episode, we talk about the ways you can find the strength to work on your emotional well-being. Rawinia talks about how writing, music, ecstatic dance, and coaches + therapists have been medicine for navigating her emotions, overcoming heartache, and stepping into her calling.

My favourite bit? This golden nugget....

Welcome back, and thanks for tuning in to the first season of th #TYMPodcast, diving deep into the different medicines millenials take to find the confidence to live in their truth!
