Aotearoa. Through my platform, Real Life Wife - Krystine Nation, I share the messy, honest, and often hilarious side of motherhood and everyday life. Whether it’s online, on stage, or in my day job, I’m all about keeping it real.

I’ve taken my stories to the stage with my stand-up show Bed, Birth & Beyond, performing at the New Zealand Comedy Festival. It’s a no-filter, no-holds-barred take on life as a mum—including light bladder leakage (because let’s be honest, it’s a thing).

By day, I’m a Social Media Manager in Local Government, where I’m passionate about humanising local government communications and making them more relatable and community-focused. I’m also a big advocate for women’s health, encouraging wāhine to prioritise their wellbeing,

Outside of comedy and council life, I’m a marriage and civil union celebrant, and a public speaker. Whether I’m leading a wedding ceremony, MC’ing an event, or speaking to a room full of people about life, motherhood, or social media, I love creating meaningful, memorable moments that connect us.

At the end of the day, I’m just a real-life wife and mum who loves a laugh and telling it like it is.
