From Heartache to Happiness

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Many of the private coaching clients I serve are women trying to heal their heartbreak. They are overwhelmed by hurt, sadness, and - perhaps worst of all - despair that they will find a *lasting* love.

There are many tears shed in my office - some of them my own tears of empathy, because I can remember what it feels like to wonder...if I would always be alone. Now, married and parenting , I am all the more CERTAIN...that what we DO with our heartache makes or breaks our dreams for the future.

 One question I ask these women who sit across from me is: What are you going to do with this pain? Are you going to put it to work? Find the higher meaning? Turn it into motivation to do WHATEVER is necessary - emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and *strategically* - to go from heartache...to happiness?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
