Nikau’s Mum, Dad, bestie and fellow flatmates show their support. They see he’s suffering and make it their mission to get him back on his feet.
Nikau’s Dad Miles suggests they start by ‘smudging’ his bedroom.

Lily (aka: Lil), Nikau’s most progressive friend and flatmate, shouts him a Float Tank session. She’s no rookie - she has a concession, but she’s never floated on magic mushrooms. Until now. Lil and Nikau have a very different experience.

Caleb, Nikau’s most intense friend and flatmate, is a diehard Crossfitter. He believes physical strength = mental strength and insists Nikau uses his guest pass. Turns out Nikau is tough AF... and this crossfit gym is as culty as he suspected.

Nikau’s Mum Jo (aka: Jojo) takes him to a therapeutic pottery class. They’re both first timers and it shows. Everything they mould looks phallic. The product is disastrous, but the journey is a joy. He’d forgotten how good it feels to laugh.

Nikau hardly knows Kristy. In fact, he still thinks her name is Kirsty. But when she shows invested interest in his mental health, he’s touched. A little creeped out, but mainly touched. Turns out, sobbing on Kirsty’s shoulder in the middle of their embroidery job was exactly what he needed.

Rocky and Nikau have been besties since way back. There’s not much they haven’t done together. Except... meditation. Despite often taking the mickey out of kombucha drinking, cacao consuming, Lululemon wearing hippy’s, they decide it’s time to see what all the fuss is about. It’s a traumatic 60 m...

Since the divorce, Nikau’s dad Miles has relied on his clairvoyant for direction and spiritual guidance. He’s finally convinced Nikau to join him for a day of aura readings, crystal therapy and energy healing massage. It’s all a bit woo woo for Nikau, but he’s determined to keep an open mind

February 14th. En route to a picnic in the park with his squad, Nikau bumps into his ex. His heart hurts, but not like it used to. He’s still single, except he’s never felt more loved. By his friends, by his whānau, and most importantly - by himself. He’ll never stop self-helping
