The sun is out and iconic Kiwis are returning to our shores.
Model and actress Rachel Hunter is back In New Zealand for the summer, teaming up with Uber Eats to bring Kiwis to the beach.
She revealed to Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame that she’s actually over for around three months every year, splitting the rest of her time between LA, London, and the various retreats she does in places like India and Bali.
“I’m very lucky,” Hunter said.
Since she spends so much time away from our shores, she’s seen the country change with every visit, but much still stays the same.
“There’s like, y’know, the things that you eat, the dairies, y’know, the beaches, the places especially during the summertime, when everyone goes off on their breaks ... you can't help but be pulled to memories of your childhood.”
“Skylines change, I mean, so is the rest of the world,” she told Tame.
“But I think fundamentally, when we come back to our homeland, you can’t help but provoke those really amazing times growing up.”
Hunter is involved in quite a few projects, but a brand new one is releasing pretty soon.
‘Human Spirit’ is her new podcast, releasing on the 20th, to which she says they have some “great New Zealand guests” involved.

Speaker 1 (00:07):

Speaker 2 (00:17):
So that's your whole, budd, it's up. Come a girl
in your CHILDA good morning and welcome to news Talks.
He'd be jacktaying with you through the midday today. Saturdays
are for sun snacks and supermodels. Lucky for us Kiwi
icon Rachel Hunter is back in old tiot Or at
the moment, and she's with us this morning. Kilda, Good morning,
(00:39):
welcome home and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You gotta Jack. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm very very good. Thank you. How how often are
you back these days you have? How do you do
the time split?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I very good.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, I actually usually come at the end like around
well not the end, around September October for about six
weeks and then January through you know, March ish around
that time as well, So at least like three months
a year I come down here.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh that's pretty good. And so the rest of your time,
And excuse me for if I get this wrong. It's
like you've got time in La and in India as well.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes, exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
So I go back and do the retreats in India
and Bali and other places, and then I also obviously
go back to la and also London because that's where
Renee is, so I kind of move around in that way,
which I'm very lucky. But yeah, it's it's kind of
the flow right now.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Do you feel like you see New Zealand change?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Look, I think everything changes, right, But it's funny because
I think about this, and you know, you see, you know,
there's fundamentally there's like, you know, the things that you eat,
the you know, the dairies, you know, the beaches, the places,
especially during summertime. Obviously when you do, everyone goes off
on their breaks during summertime and you can't help but
(02:08):
be pulled to memories of your childhood. And as much
as yeah, we keep we're going to keep evolving, the
whole world's and evolving in some type of way, you know,
it's it's still the memories of how how you spend
your time with your family and your friends. That's ultimately
what it is. And yeah, I mean skylines change. I
(02:28):
mean so is the rest of the world. But I
think fundamentally we really when we come back to our
home land, you can't help it provoke those really amazing
times growing up.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know, Yeah, there's like an element of nostalgia and
something wonderful about that when you've been away you come
home and you're like, oh my goodness. I never appreciated
this properly when I you know, when I was younger
or when I was living here. So true, this sort
of funny dynamic at the moment with New Zealand, and
I'd be interested on your perspective as someone who is
(03:00):
fortunate to travel a lot. A lot of people feel
like we are in a real funk at the moment,
Like we're in not like a depression as such, but
we're in a really kind of you know, a tricky
little period.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Is my senses, is everybody watching the same news as well?
I'm watching because.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I think it's a broaden situation, isn't it like one?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You think it's like a global thing?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You mean I would think so, wouldn't you? Like?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I mean, it's it's interesting, but I think you know, look,
everyone ebbs and.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Flows, like our careers flow, our life does.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
We get changes, we get things that come in and
disrupt us and we're like, wow, this is amazing, and
you know, so it just it fluctuates so how do
we how do we, in our best possible way, move
through that in more.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Of a positive way.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yes, we can, you know, get you know, disgruntled and
things are hard and things just aren't fair. Sometimes that's
just the bottom line. But I think, you know, and
that's okay too, But I think fundaments like how are
we going to shift that? But at the same time, yeah,
you're you're going to say, oh, this isn't going right,
and this isn't going and it's like yah, yeah, yeah yeah,
(04:11):
Like who wants to sit next to that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
All day long?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Like look at where we live, Like look at where
people live here.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know. So I don't know. Yeah, to me, I
think it's you know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I don't want to spread that to every country, but
I think it's hard everywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Because look at the jobs.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Look at what is a job now?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
You know how it's yeah, I mean, we could really
go down and rabbit hole here, Jack.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Like please please, I'm already No.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No, no, no, I'm not going down.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm not going to get you in trouble, I promise,
I promise you.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
No.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I don't mind being in trouble. I always like to
be a little bit rebellious.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So it's all good. See you. You've taken kind of
you've got quite a spiritual bent on that, like in
being positive and you're kind of positive outlook.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
When you can not an annoying positive no no, not
like peace, love and happiness and nothing light like I
don't mean that, I mean like we sometimes things are
not fair.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Absolutely yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So how important is your kind of spiritual practice and
you know you're leading of retreats. How important is that
side of your life to your everyday existence? Now?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Well, I think there's an integ integration about it because
I think, you know, there's that very human side that
we have to get particular things that we move through
in life that are just fundamentally human. And it seems
to be my word on this radio show right now,
it's fundamentally But you know, we definitely we go to
the bathroom, we have to work, we have to pay bills,
(05:45):
we have to do these things. But I think where
we sometimes where that connection is. Where do we find
that that stability where we can like enjoy our life,
enjoy our friends, enjoy our own our own state of
peace and well being, you know? And so what is
that and how do we move into that at times
(06:08):
when things just seem a little bit afraid, we need
to kind of come home to that place within our
salves to feel that stability, and I think from there
then you can see things a little bit. But at
the same time, again, you know, I get ruffled and
my mind works, you know, fast, and it's busy and
(06:29):
all the rest of it. And I think, you know,
doing this and having gone through this with this teacher
trainings such as and yoga when I did it back
in twenty seventeen, it's kind of allowed me to find
that place where I can kind of harness all that
energy more so and bring it inward to be able
to be more stable. So, I mean, people can call
(06:50):
it spiritual or they can call it energy, you know,
so it's like, how are you maintaining that energy that
sometimes feels afraid at times? So I think the two combine,
you know, whether we call it religion, spirituality, energy, it's
just kind of refining more of finding.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
A stable place for ourselves. So that's kind of what
I aspire to. Really.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, excuse my profound naivety on this front, because I'll
probably just say something I'm you know, put my foot
in it totally here because I'm just totally not naive
about the stuff, but I am curious, right, So, so like,
do you see spirituality and religiosity by being religious? Do
you see yourself as being both of those? Or do
(07:35):
you separate the spirituality from the kind of you know,
being led by different energies. Can you can you kind
of distinguish those things for me?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
M well, I mean, obviously it's always changing, so what
I might say here now might change next week or
next year or whatever. Right, So as always, we're always
changing our opinions and our viewpoints depending on our experience
that we're having, whatever we're doing. But you know, I
was brought up in a very not very religious My
(08:06):
mum was very psychic, and so this none of the
stuff is kind of new to me. So we were
you know, Christian. We mum went an investigated Mormon, Buddhism
like all this kind of stuff. So we did have
that growing up. You know, I think it's just you know,
there I would say that, you know, the spiritual side
(08:27):
of it or the religion side, there's that all that
murky water, And I don't want to say anyone's or
put a framework around it because it's whatever you're drawn
to in some ways, because you can look at spirituality
in some ways as energy too, you know, I mean,
because there's an energy. I mean we're looking at scientists
now seeing some of this stuff as far as meditation
(08:49):
is concerned, and people would.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Class that spiritual, correct, right would you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So, but you're seeing spirituality and meditation is really just
creating a sense of stability. So I don't I want
to leave people to their own experience rather than getting
me into mine, because then it gives you know, people
have to investigate themselves and draw their opinion off that.
(09:15):
But I like the freedom to move around because I
do love looking at religions and fascinated by them, and
at the same time I'm interested in the spirituality and
the energy. So I think there is a difference as such.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, what do you love about India?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I just it's just you get in there and you
just get lost in this immense, sensorary place of.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Just life.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You're immediately pushed into an incredible sense of life and
movement and colors and smells and people and going on
the side of the street and drinking chain and having
the most amazing conversation with who you know, you sit
down on the side. It's just just has that where
(10:08):
you just drop away almost from all what you think
and it just takes you on this ride. So I
think it just takes all that kind of ego away
from you and you just you just yeah, you just
go in there and just get taken away.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You know, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Do you how much time do you spend there, like
in a normal year these days.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Around about like just under six months, just going in
and out just with the as far as doing the retreats.
Obviously you're not going in and out all the time
because I mean that becomes quite well, it's expensive now
with flying.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
But yeah, so I kind of stay put for a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Do you ever find it like overwhelming?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, but that kind of creates like that time where
you kind of can change, you know, where things can
get a little bit like oh god, this is happening
or that's happening. But no, I love it. I love it.
I love watching and being involved in warm, kind loving people.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I think the intensity of the sensory experiences like that, it's.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, just explodes and it takes your any ideas or ignorance.
You have just get beautifully transformed in some kind of
wham whatever that is, whether you come out of India
with whatever has happened, whatever, it just is.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
A transformational experience. I mean that's for me.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Other people might go to Italy and have wine and
cheese and enjoy the coast, or go to Morocco or
go anywhere else in the world and have that same experience.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But this is just mine.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, I'm just going to tack all of the above
for that. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it is a really
special place. Hey, you've become a grandma, right I have.
How's life is a grandma?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Oh it's so sweet. He calls me, Louis calls me
ra Rah. They're about the baby very soon. But he's
just gorgeous. And I just had Christmas with them this
last Christmas.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, he's he's he's.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Very very there's such incredible appearance too. They're really amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Parents house for congratulations. Well look you are you are
doing something a little bit off off the you teaming
up with Uber eats. So what's the deal? Explain it
to us.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Oh, it's just you know, I did the TV commercial
a few years ago and they they're doing a new
pr campaign obviously worth going down to the beach and
you can get anything ordered from sunscreen to ice blocks,
so you know Auckland, Wellington, christ Church and some of
the other coastal beaches.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You can order.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Uber eats down to the beach, so if you've forgotten anything,
you can just direct it straight to your beach towel.
So yeah, so it's just a it's just a nice
I don't know, I find them really really easy to
work with. Very yeah, and it's I mean, who doesn't
order ubery it's.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right and at the beach. I mean, if you can
make any of the experience at the beach even more
convenient than hey, I think we're all here for.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
That, Yes, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well, look, it is so good to have you home.
Thank you so much for us your time.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Next time, I'd love to come in and we can
have a longer chat about those.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Things I did.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, you, I do have Human Spirit on there with
I just started a new podcast called Human Spirit with
Rachel Hunter and it starts next Thursday on the twentieth,
and we have some great New Zealand guests and stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So yeah, Human Okay, yeah, well we'll find we'll put
the details for that up on our website as well,
because I know a lot of people will be really
thank you. Yeah, and thank you, thank you for helping
to educate me. I feel fundamentally. No, No, that was
the key word for today. It's the key word with today. No,
I'm just I'm aware that there is some some some
(14:02):
enormous many enormous holes in my in my knowledge and
wisdom about certain subjects. So what you class says it?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
By the way, what are you class between religion, spirituality,
and energies as such?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Wow? Your opinion?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I mean, I just you know, see I I didn't
have a upbringing. No, I tried meditating, But then I see,
I'm just like the opposite because I'm all about like
optimizing time and things like that, which is not so.
I think I would really benefit from from meditating and
really benefit from more of a spiritual life, but I
just haven't kind of made my way in there yet.
(14:39):
So this is this is maybe maybe it's a project
for twenty twenty five. You know, well, next.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Time I come back and to a meditation class, you
can come along and we'll sit down see if we
can have a little that we can you can come
in and have a little meditation session.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, there would be amazing people. I mean not just
even one sees it's you know who can can They
say it's incredible for you, It's such a beneficial experience.
So yeah, yeah, I'm over minded all yeah yeah, yes, right,
thank you so much much. Yeah, love it to chat
and enjoy the rest of your time here. Look forward
to seeing you soon. That is the one and only

changing our opinions and our viewpoints depending on our experience
that we're having, whatever we're doing. But you know, I
was brought up in a very not very religious My
(08:06):
mum was very psychic, and so this none of the
stuff is kind of new to me. So we were
you know, Christian. We mum went an investigated Mormon, Buddhism
like all this kind of stuff. So we did have
that growing up. You know, I think it's just you know,
there I would say that, you know, the spiritual side
(08:27):
of it or the religion side, there's that all that
murky water, And I don't want to say anyone's or
put a framework around it because it's whatever you're drawn
to in some ways, because you can look at spirituality
in some ways as energy too, you know, I mean,
because there's an energy. I mean we're looking at scientists
now seeing some of this stuff as far as meditation
(08:49):
is concerned, and people would.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Class that spiritual, correct, right would you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So, but you're seeing spirituality and meditation is really just
creating a sense of stability. So I don't I want
to leave people to their own experience rather than getting
me into mine, because then it gives you know, people
have to investigate themselves and draw their opinion off that.
(09:15):
But I like the freedom to move around because I
do love looking at religions and fascinated by them, and
at the same time I'm interested in the spirituality and
the energy. So I think there is a difference as such.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, what do you love about India?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I just it's just you get in there and you
just get lost in this immense, sensorary place of.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Just life.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You're immediately pushed into an incredible sense of life and
movement and colors and smells and people and going on
the side of the street and drinking chain and having
the most amazing conversation with who you know, you sit
down on the side. It's just just has that where
(10:08):
you just drop away almost from all what you think
and it just takes you on this ride. So I
think it just takes all that kind of ego away
from you and you just you just yeah, you just
go in there and just get taken away.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You know, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Do you how much time do you spend there, like
in a normal year these days.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Around about like just under six months, just going in
and out just with the as far as doing the retreats.
Obviously you're not going in and out all the time
because I mean that becomes quite well, it's expensive now
with flying.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
But yeah, so I kind of stay put for a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Do you ever find it like overwhelming?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, but that kind of creates like that time where
you kind of can change, you know, where things can
get a little bit like oh god, this is happening
or that's happening. But no, I love it. I love it.
I love watching and being involved in warm, kind loving people.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I think the intensity of the sensory experiences like that, it's.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, just explodes and it takes your any ideas or ignorance.
You have just get beautifully transformed in some kind of
wham whatever that is, whether you come out of India
with whatever has happened, whatever, it just is.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
A transformational experience. I mean that's for me.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Other people might go to Italy and have wine and
cheese and enjoy the coast, or go to Morocco or
go anywhere else in the world and have that same experience.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But this is just mine.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, I'm just going to tack all of the above
for that. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it is a really
special place. Hey, you've become a grandma, right I have.
How's life is a grandma?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Oh it's so sweet. He calls me, Louis calls me
ra Rah. They're about the baby very soon. But he's
just gorgeous. And I just had Christmas with them this
last Christmas.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, he's he's he's.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Very very there's such incredible appearance too. They're really amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Parents house for congratulations. Well look you are you are
doing something a little bit off off the you teaming
up with Uber eats. So what's the deal? Explain it
to us.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Oh, it's just you know, I did the TV commercial
a few years ago and they they're doing a new
pr campaign obviously worth going down to the beach and
you can get anything ordered from sunscreen to ice blocks,
so you know Auckland, Wellington, christ Church and some of
the other coastal beaches.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You can order.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Uber eats down to the beach, so if you've forgotten anything,
you can just direct it straight to your beach towel.
So yeah, so it's just a it's just a nice
I don't know, I find them really really easy to
work with. Very yeah, and it's I mean, who doesn't
order ubery it's.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right and at the beach. I mean, if you can
make any of the experience at the beach even more
convenient than hey, I think we're all here for.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
That, Yes, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well, look, it is so good to have you home.
Thank you so much for us your time.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Next time, I'd love to come in and we can
have a longer chat about those.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Things I did.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, you, I do have Human Spirit on there with
I just started a new podcast called Human Spirit with
Rachel Hunter and it starts next Thursday on the twentieth,
and we have some great New Zealand guests and stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So yeah, Human Okay, yeah, well we'll find we'll put
the details for that up on our website as well,
because I know a lot of people will be really
thank you. Yeah, and thank you, thank you for helping
to educate me. I feel fundamentally. No, No, that was
the key word for today. It's the key word with today. No,
I'm just I'm aware that there is some some some
(14:02):
enormous many enormous holes in my in my knowledge and
wisdom about certain subjects. So what you class says it?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
By the way, what are you class between religion, spirituality,
and energies as such?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Wow? Your opinion?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I mean, I just you know, see I I didn't
have a upbringing. No, I tried meditating, But then I see,
I'm just like the opposite because I'm all about like
optimizing time and things like that, which is not so.
I think I would really benefit from from meditating and
really benefit from more of a spiritual life, but I
just haven't kind of made my way in there yet.
(14:39):
So this is this is maybe maybe it's a project
for twenty twenty five. You know, well, next.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Time I come back and to a meditation class, you
can come along and we'll sit down see if we
can have a little that we can you can come
in and have a little meditation session.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, there would be amazing people. I mean not just
even one sees it's you know who can can They
say it's incredible for you, It's such a beneficial experience.
So yeah, yeah, I'm over minded all yeah yeah, yes, right,
thank you so much much. Yeah, love it to chat
and enjoy the rest of your time here. Look forward
