If you've been following this series on pain with intimacy, you now understand: ✔️ What might be causing your pain ✔️ How mental load and nervous system stress impact arousal ✔️ Why pushing through makes things worse ✔️ Practical rehab strategies to reduce tension Now let's talk about something we don't normalize enough: Supportive tools. Because using tools does not mean you're broken. It means you're intentional. In this final episode of the series, we're discussing the different tools and toys that can reduce pain, improve blood flow, calm guarding, and help you rebuild positive experiences in your body — safely and confidently. In This Episode, We Cover: Why tools can help retrain pain pathways The connection between blood flow, arousal, and pelvic floor relaxation How graded exposure reduces guarding Why friction (not failure) is often the problem The role of pleasure in nervous system regulation If pain continues, worsens, or feels deeply triggering, it's time to see a pelvic floor PT. The Bigger Reframe Tools are not a crutch. They are bridges. Bridges between pain and safety. Between guarding and openness. Between survival and pleasure. Pleasure is not indulgent. It is nervous system medicine. Want Structured Guidance? Inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, there is a FREE Masterclass: From Pain to Pleasure that you can access inside the app here: https://pelvic-floor-core-more.passion.io/  Or if you want more guidance join my 12 wk RESTORE program, where we combine: Breathwork Nervous system regulation Mobility and downtraining Core and pelvic floor coordination Progressive strengthening So you're not guessing which tools to use — or when.

This wraps our Pain with Intimacy series — but healing doesn't end here. Your body is not broken. It is layered. And layered healing is possible. ~ XO Dr. Des

SailGP has released its initial findings from its investigation into the high-speed collision between the Black Foils and Team France boats at this month's regatta in Auckland. Two sailors were hospitalised after the French and Kiwi boats collided at speeds approaching 90 kilometres an hour on day one of the SailGP event.

Someday soon your Uber could arrive with no one in the driver's seat, and a Kiwi's tech is behind the shift. UK self-driving company Wayve, spearheaded by Alex Kendall, has secured $1.5 billion in capital to support to the commercial roll out of their ‘Robotaxis'. The funding round also includes backing from Mercedes, Nissan, Microsoft and Nvidia, while local VC Icehouse Ventures is contributing $12.5 million to the capital raise. Kendall told Mike Hosking there's a couple of different ways to commercialise self-driving technology – creating your own cars, running your own fleets, or licensing the technology. Wayve is using the third option, and he says the AI they've built is so flexible that it will be able to bring self-driving technology worldwide.

After almost six months, IndyCar is returning this weekend. Scott Dixon, Marcus Amstrong, and Scott McLaughlin are all lining up on the streets of St Petersburg for the first race – the same streets where McLaughlin got pole last year. However, McLaughlin has admitted that 2025 was a frustrating year, as he finished 10th in the Championship with three podiums. He told Mike Hosking that it was really the lowest of lows for him in many cases, and he's trying to turn that negative into a positive. McLaughlin says he doesn't have to do too much differently, he just has to execute it better. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Leaders Getting Coffee episode 57, our guest is The Right Honourable Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand. A typical Kiwi upbringing was a hallmark of young Christopher Luxon’s life. The oldest of three brothers, he grew up in Christchurch and later Auckland, with working parents and a work ethic that was obvious early. He was a sports mad kid, but it didn’t stop there. Walking home one afternoon he decided to cold call the neighbourhood homes to see if he could sell his services as a window cleaner. A business was born. It’s owner-operator just 14 years old. He returned to his hometown of Christchurch for his university studies before his corporate career took hold. Starting as a management trainee with global consumer goods giant Unilever, it was a company and a career that took him around the world. He worked in Australia, the United Kingdom and the USA before his eventual appointment as President and CEO of Unilever Canada. In 2011, he returned to New Zealand for a senior executive role at Air New Zealand and a year later he was appointed CEO, a role he held for seven years. That he walked away from such a spectacular business career is a story in itself. Within four years, and after just three years as a Member of Parliament, he became New Zealand’s 42nd Prime Minister. In the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast, Christopher Luxon talks openly with Bruce Cotterill about his short but spectacular rise in New Zealand’s political scene. He is surprisingly open about his successes and failures in government to date and equally forthright about the assembly and operation of a coalition that has held together better than many expected.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Kiwi start-up's labours are bearing fruit. ‘Forever Harvest' has raised $1.2 million to grow fruit and nuts in a lab, all year round. The project uses cellular agriculture, removing the need for orchards or soil and making production climate resistant. Co-Founder Mick Riley told Mike Hosking they're not looking to replace things like bulk cherries or bulk nectarines, but rather they're creating a whole new kind of high value ingredient. The products would be for commercial use, he says, as they're not looking to compete in the consumer market. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A positive outlook for Chinese tourism as a new visa pathway delivers results. The trial allows Chinese and Pacific travellers with a valid Australian visa to enter New Zealand for up to three months. Arrivals have nearly tripled since December, with Chinese tourists injecting about $210 million into Kiwi businesses. Tourism Holdings Limited Chief Executive Grant Webster told Mike Hosking the trial is absolutely working and New Zealand's responding faster to growing demand from Chinese visitors. He says this just gives more options for these travellers, adding we're fortunate to have this system as it doesn't work the other way around.

Today, the boys caught up with Kiwi actor and all-around GC, Karl Urban. This guy has one hell of a filmography, and he isn't showing any signs of slowing down. His new film 'The Bluff' is coming out on the 25th February on Amazon Prime, and we were lucky enough to get a sneak peek before its release, and, to quote Dunc, "This is easily the best pirate movie I have ever seen." Synopsis 'The Bluff is an Amazon Prime Video action-thriller starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, a former pirate in the 19th-century Caribbean trying to live a quiet life. When her vengeful former captain (Karl Urban) threatens her family, she must revisit her violent past to protect them.'

In this episode of the show, Raj and Stu look back at Day 11 of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup, which featured three games: New Zealand v Canada, ZImbabwe v Ireland and Scotland v Nepal. We start the show by discussing the Black Caps' win against Canada, which confirmed their progression to the Super 8 phase of the tournament. On paper it looked like a straightforward day at the office, until Yuvraj Samra became the youngest man to score a World Cup hundred, making the Kiwi bowlers look a lot tastier than Mitchell Santner's dodgy burger along the way. We discuss what to make of it all, including a return to form for Rachin Ravindra, whether Glenn Phillips could make a first-class hundred batting left-handed and how the shift to Sri Lanka might impact New Zealand's fortunes for the remainder of the World Cup. Next up was Zimbabwe v Ireland in Pallekele, with plenty on the line for both sides, and Australia hoping the result would fall their way. But unfortunately for Ireland and Australia, the only thing that fell was rain, and the abandoned match put Zimbabwe through to the Super 8 phase. The final game of the day saw Scotland take on Nepal, with both sides looking to finish their World Cup adventure on a high. It was a see-sawing game, with runs for Michael Jones and wickets for Michael Leask, but it was Dipendra Singh Airee's unbeaten 50 off 23 balls that took Nepal to a win - much to the delight of their fantastic fans. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to Day 12, which sees South Africa take on the UAE and two fixtures that will decide the final standings in Group A - Namibia v Pakistan and India v Netherlands.   We'll be back in your feed again tomorrow with the next instalment of our T20 World Cup coverage.

There's renewed pressure on the Government to get the ball rolling on a social media ban for Kiwi teens. Last year, Australia banned social media for under-16s and it's inspired other countries to consider implementing similar measures. Triple P NZ manager Jackie Riach says it's too early to see the full impact of Australia's ban, but parents are reporting positive results so far. "The ban is one thing - what Australia did do alongside the ban was implement some parenting support, so I'm reporting the data from the parenting support, which is great."

Kiwis love their cooking shows. Once you get past ‘The Chase', the likes of MasterChef Australia is consistently within the top watched shows, both on TV and online. Recognisable from her four seasons on MasterChef Australia, Melissa Leong has moved on to host Dessert Masters, and is now fronting a new Kiwi cooking show. She's partnered up with Aimsfield Head Chef Vaughan Mabee for ‘Taste of Art', a show that pits ten Kiwi chefs against one another, aiming to create visually stunning food. Leong told Mike Hosking the reason food and cooking related shows tend to do well is because of the element of human connection. “You know, the stories that food allow us to tell about culture, about time and place and connection, all of these things are just so very enduringly human,” she said. "We are always going to find that compelling.” She says there's something there for everyone, whether it's a show like MasterChef that heroes the humble, homegrown cooks and recipes, or something like ‘Taste of Art', which showcases imagination and incredible possibilities. “There's something in it for everyone ... being able to share a little bit, a little part of who they are in the form of food.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This past weekend marks 144 years since the first shipment of frozen lamb left Port Chalmers for London. It was instrumental in shaping in a food and fibre sector that's become a backbone of the New Zealand economy – worth $60 billion.
