GENI McCALLUM
Kia ora, I’m Geni, a writer, podcaster, and marketer based in Aotearoa. I believe in sharing openly about our life experiences and helping people feel less alone. This is where you’ll find my projects, creative work, and the work care about.
Too Much & Not Enough
In Too Much & Not Enough, I write about my personal experiences with mental illness, relationships, chronic pain, and the messy, ongoing work of staying alive.
This is a memoir-in-progress, one essay at a time, published weekly. Sometimes funny, often emotional, but always honest.
Some essays are also podcasted.
Frankly Podcast
The Frankly Podcast is a podcast about honest conversations with Kiwis about sex, life and the parts of being human that we’ve been taught not to talk about.
Series One takes a look at what teens want to know, not what adults think they want to know. It features candid interviews with Kiwi adults about their lives, relationships, sex, love, and identity, answering anonymous questions from young people at the end of each episode. Sponsored by Bonk Lube and supported by Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa.
Series Two (late 2026) will be part of my master’s research, where I’ll be talking with young Kiwi men about their experiences with sex education and how it’s impacted their relationships, well-being, and sense of self.
The podcast is produced through Frankly Productions, my charity that produces creative projects that give voice to underrepresented stories and lived experiences, with an overall focus on supporting rangitahi.
