About this episode
In this interview, I sat down with beloved kiwi musician Stan Walker. Our conversation covers his multidimensional career, his journey with identity, the importance of maintaining boundaries, and protecting his peace.
He speaks openly about his growing understanding of forgiveness, the effects of trauma, and the long-term process of healing and self-acceptance. Stan also emphasises his dedication to his family, health, and bringing hope, life, healing, and joy through his music.
I really admire Stan for his vulnerability, honesty and courage and I’m so excited to share this kōrero with you all.
This episode covers some confronting topics, including sexual abuse. If you need help you can always reach out to Safe to Talk confidentially, any time on 0800 044 334 or text 4334.
