Hi team! Thank you so much for your support of First Rung, our first podcast!
The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

How heavy is this glass of water?

... it depends on how long I hold it.
Think of those stresses and strains in life like this glass I am holding out. As we think of stressful events and things that might happen just for a short while, nothing happens it’s easy to hold. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. Think about them all day long and even through some of the night I would feel paralysed incapable of doing anything.
It is essential to remember to let go of your stresses and learn to put that glass down.
