Parent of teens/young adults empowerment event!!!
Hey there, parents!
- Are you having a hard time picturing your teen/young adult’s future?
- Feeling a little out of touch with what actually motivates them?
- Are their next steps after school or university seeming a little blurry?
- Do you find yourself saying ‘back in my day…’?
- Do you dread being asked the question ‘what is your son/daughter doing after they graduate?’
- Want to build a strong relationship during the transition period from child to young adult?
- Do you JUST need a fresh perspective?
If this sounds like you, make sure you don’t miss this evening of learning and engaging with invaluable insights and practical takeaways to guide you on your parenting journey. One of the unique things about this event is that you will gain knowledge from a parent and a ‘young-er person’, to round off your experience in a more holistic and dynamic way.
Staci McLean, author of ‘I would love to but…overcoming your excuses to live the life you want’ and other books, is a mother of two teenage boys. When she was growing up, Staci was your classic ‘off the rails’ teenager but managed to turn her life around and go on to become a successful author, speaker, and life coach for emotional health, motivation, and happiness. She will kick off our evening by sharing her insights and strategies for:
- Providing a solid foundation for your teen so that they can go out into the world full of life
- The importance of modelling a happy life; addressing your motivations, contributions, and fun-factor scale
- Understanding this changing world and shifting your perspective to engage with your teen
Ellie Bambury, author of ‘The Big Sister Project’ was the classic ‘do well in school and university and tick all the boxes’, but then zig-zagged her way through different roles and experiences to eventually become a life coach and mentor for 16-24-year olds - which, looking back, she said has always been her calling. She will take you on a journey through the second half of the evening where you will learn about:
- Reframing your experiences with your teen so that you’ll both become self-empowered, and connected to your evolving journey (however messy it might look right now!)
- Fearlessly guiding your teen through the tough times of peer pressure, navigating external influences, and making ‘life’ decisions
- Feeling at ease, staying in touch, and creating a memorable experience for you and your teen as they move onwards and upwards in their lives
This is just touching the surface of what is promised to be an uplifting, rewarding, and meaningful evening, where you will go home excited about having the privilege to be a parent to teenagers. There’s no need to feel stuck, scared, stressed, or stupid… you’ve got this, and we’ve got you!

Noon toons on East FM, Saturday from midday
Fresh original Kiwi music releases by Jack Moser, Emma Dilemma, and Turkey the Bird (band) feature on another mixed bag She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, tomorrow midday to 4pm (NZ time, September 28) on East FM.
We’re talking to Jack Moser at 2.30pm live from Sydney about his journey in music and new EP, Where You Are.
The good folk at Blackout Music NZ say: “Tāmaki Makaurau-based indie songwriter Jack Moser bares his soul in the EP Where You Are, a collection of heartfelt compositions that channel his personal experiences into powerful musical expressions.”
It was recorded in Moser’s home-town of Taranaki, co-produced by Jack, Waru Hetet and Sam Johnson at Rhythm Ace, Johnson’s Ôakura studio.
Jack says: “I’m so happy to release this collection of songs. Where You Are has been a really therapeutic EP for me to write.
“It’s helped me understand my own emotions during this relationship, and allowed me to keep moving forward. I’m now in a secure, committed relationship and Where You Are was the final hurdle before attaining exactly what I wanted in a relationship.”
We recently saw the dynamic and powerful singer Emma Dilemma upfront for the welcome-returned Tadpole on the Devilskin national 10th anniversary tour.
Blackout Music NZ says Libra is “a total power pop single from Emma Dilemma. She’s living in Los Angeles for the time being, and has a great video shot in Palm Springs. She’ll be back in NZ to support the release soon.
“It’s best you don’t try to put Emma Dilemma in a box. The self-described ‘patron saint of self-sabotage’ combines her penchant for viewing life through an absurdist lens with her love for melody and storytelling to create serious music that doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
And we’ll always say it, the music of Turkey the Bird, who’ve just released their brand new album – Men, Fish, Boat – on Friday, always makes one feel great. They have a fantastic hopeful view of the world.
For some time we’ve been meaning to play their three most recent Turkey the Bird singles, Smashing Through The Fences, My Life, and Stone Wall Creek, and we’ll do that, and spin the new album in entirety in the coming weeks.
Smashing Through The Fences: “An anthem of empowerment and growth, with uplifting lyrics about breaking barriers, embracing dreams, and finding strength in community.”
My Life: “This folk trio delivers a poignant reflection on living life to the fullest. With lyrics that delve into the ebb and flow of happiness, the mysteries of the future, and the beauty of everyday moments, it’s a heartfelt anthem about making the most of every day.”
Stone Wall Creek: “Is a bluegrass song that captures the serene beauty and tranquil atmosphere of Ngawi, a remote spot in the southernmost part of New Zealand's North Island. Inspired by the picturesque rivers and creeks that Sol, a band member, encountered during his stay, the song reflects the natural charm and peacefulness of the area. Ngawi, known for having the most bulldozers per capita in the world, adds a unique twist to the song's backdrop, blending nature's splendor with human ingenuity.”
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. Providing a platform for NZ music and performance artists to exhibit their talents since ages ago. Ka pai. – PJ
Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).
