I so admire the work that PEPTALK media is doing to grow ‘Wellbeing Literacy’ nationally. Nadine and her team are committed to helping people understand wellbeing and resilience better so they can help themselves and those they care about. Their resource is jam-packed with tools, all of which are evidence-based but practical enough to use in every day life.

I love PEPTALK for a whole host of reasons, but mostly because it aligns with my kaupapa - ie. it is an integrative approach to improving wellbeing, honing in on what is innately good about humans and fanning the spark that resides in each of us! It’s the best wellbeing publication I’ve come across in New Zealand - or anywhere for that matter.

We’re exposed to as much information in one day as our ancestors in the fifteenth century would encounter in a lifetime - BBC.com, 2013
PEPTALK is presented in a visually appealing, bite-sized and engaging format making the information we share highly digestible and stand out from the mass of information you encounter each day.
“The skills for wellbeing are teachable and learnable” - Dr Martin Seligman. Over two decades of research shows that the skills for wellbeing are teachable and learnable. When we practice these skills, not only do we feel good and function well, we give ourselves greater protection from mental illness. We educate by presenting information that is evidence-based and comes from the latest research in the field of positive psychology / wellbeing science.
PEPTALK was launched in response to observing increased dependency and an ‘ambulance at the bottom of the cliff’ approach to tackling a growing mental health crisis. Our approach is to build self-efficiency by empowering people with the skills and tools to help themselves, and others, thrive.
“Wellbeing” has become a real buzz-word, but it’s not enough just to talk about it. We are passionate about making wellbeing real and actionable. We inspire our readers to put what they learn into practice, with real life success stories, practical strategies, exercises, and worksheets.

A note from the editor
Kia ora I’m Nadine, the founder and editor of PEPTALK. My own walk from mental illness to mental wellness taught me many lessons about how (both) powerfully destructive and powerfully constructive the mind can be. Along the way I learned the skills to use my mind in positive ways and help myself be and stay mentally well.
A few years ago as the media began to report regularly about our mental health crisis I was feeling frustrated that there seemed to be a focus on treatment services, with very little resources going towards teaching people the skills to help themselves psychologically thrive. I could see a growing culture of dependency in our society.
Having experienced the rewards of putting wellbeing skills into practice in my own life, and learning about the incredible research in the field of wellbeing science, I felt a strong call to share this empowering knowledge and skills with others. I wanted everyone to know how they too could help themselves to feel good and function well, rise above challenges and thrive. I was determined to present the information in a way that was captivating and inspired people to take it on board.
With a background in magazine publishing, I set about creating the first issue of PEPTALK. It was met with widespread praise and we receive ongoing messages about how our publication is helping people all around New Zealand. These messages continually fuel my fire to increase our readership and help thousands of Kiwis build a healthy, resilient mind.
A note from the editor
❝ I have learnt so many little things that are helping me get through day to day and built on tips and tricks that I already had. I recommend PEPTALK to all of my friends and try to get them involved so they can take something from it too. ❞
❝ I came across PEPTALK via Instagram, then I ordered it for myself and became hooked. Then I ordered four more, for my sister and friends. I love the entire ethos, the variety of articles and that ads don’t clog up the pages.❞

❝ You have absolutely smashed it out of the park. This publication is perfect, it covers all aspects of mental health in many ways, making it easy for different people to be able to relate and make connections. The interactive parts of the magazine absolutely top it off, you don’t feel like you are just reading a heap of boring stories, it feels like the whole thing is made especially for you…. it’s awesome to see such amazing content out there for everybody.❞
Shepherd, Taihape
❝ PEPTALK is such a joy to read and like a breath of fresh air openly talking about big and small mental health issues. It’s written in a way that is easily accessible to anyone that is lucky enough to find it. I will be adding PEPTALK as a resource for my clients, there are so many helpful take home messages and tips to help them have a better understanding of their own mental wellbeing or others they care about.❞
