E81 | How Māori define ADHD and autism & trusting your gut after diagnosis - with Kate Manihera

E81 | How Māori define ADHD and autism & trusting your gut after diagnosis - with Kate Manihera

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Kate Manihera (aka DJ "Sexy Kate") - a late-diagnosed autistic/ADHD content creator, model, and DJ based in Aotearoa, New Zealand.


After years of high-masking and high-achieving - from beauty influencing to a corporate career in Māori cultural strategy and organisational development - Kate's diagnoses in her late 20s sparked a full life reset: leaving her job, working through burnout, and rebuilding her career around what actually lights her up.


Kate talks about navigating previous romantic relationships and what she's learnt about herself since. She also discusses the Māori concepts of aroreretini (ADHD) and takiwātanga (autism), which reframe neurodivergence as difference rather than deficit.


Follow her at @katemanihera on Instagram, or check out her DJ sets on SoundCloud.
