    Episode 15 - Mental Health Awareness - BELONGING MATTERS

    "Ko Au Ko Koe Ko Koe Ko Au - I am you and you are me" This week we once again want to congratulate all our family and friends who gathered last week and continue to celebrate Fiji Language Week. We celebrate Fiji Language Week with our Fijian Artists. We reflect on last week's Mental Health Awareness Week themed 'Belonging Matters,' and explore ways to help others feel welcome and included. Saying hello, checking in, sharing a cuppa or inviting someone into a conversation can be a meaningful place to start. Being at a gatherings doesn't always mean feeling connected especially when you've arrived alone and don't know anyone. We also remind listeners to reach out to local organisations such as MASH Trust, Methodist Social Services, The Salvation Army, Niuvaka Trust, Whakapai Hauroa, Te Tihi and Te Aroha Noa, to name just a few support service providers. Ask about their counselling, financial support, navigation services, or help connecting with another organisation that may meet your needs. Visit our https://www.facebook.com/Between2worldswithTeisa where we'll share local support information and contact details. It's okay to ask for help and we can all play a part in helping someone feel they belong. A radio show/podcast produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.

    Episode 14 - Community Connections - Grief and Mental Awareness Week with Nigel

    Teisa welcomes Palmy local Nigel who shares a little of his personal journey and his work in mental health. Reflecting on Mental Health Awareness Week, our conversation explores grief and loss and what these experiences can look like for our families, whānau and aiga. Our message is simple: It's 'OK' to ask for help There are people and services ready to support you, but we understand sometimes it's hard to ask for help if you don't know what support you need or want. Sometimes that help can be just being there for you, having a cuppa tea, taking you for a drive to just get out of the house, or simply listening to you reminisce. We look forward to welcoming community service providers in the coming weeks to share the available support they offer. As we head towards the festive season we need to make sure "everyone" is okay. Please follow us on our Facebook Page where we will share some of the local Service Providers. A radio show/podcast produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.

    Episode 12 - The Pause. Holding space

    We talk about 'The Pause,' which is sort of the 'in-between period,' like when you're moving from one place to another, or even between jobs. There's that period of time where it can feel like nothing is happening. For some this time can often feel like 'nothingness' (if that's a word) it's like you're just floating. This can be a frustrating time especially if you feel nothing is working or happening, causing us to panic or stress. Then there's 'Holding Space, where we sometimes sit with someone during their moments of 'The Pause'. What does this look like? What does this feel like, and what does it mean? Well for many it can mean many things. Our special guest and friend Janelle travelled from Kirikiriroa, Hamilton, to be beside her sister as their whānau eagerly awaited the arrival of a precious new baby. Her journey reminded us that holding space does not always mean having the answers or trying to fix everything. Sometimes, it means simply being present listening, encouraging, praying and reminding someone that they are not alone. We reflected on the pause between an ending and a new beginning, waiting for news or direction and trusting GOD when we cannot yet see what comes next. The pause is not always an empty space. It can be a sacred time of preparation, healing, hope and love. We look forward to having a monthly catchup with Janelle as she shares some of her heartfelt journey and insights from her Faith.

    Episode 11 - Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

    We celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori and the 2026 theme Ake, Ake, Ake — A Forever Language with the focus of Te Reo Towns. Encouraging communities across Aotearoa to make Te Reo Māori visible, heard and used in everyday life. With help from Manawatū People’s Radio, which provided a list of town and place names we tried to pronounce the towns in Te Reo. We also add Hanana (Shannon) and acknowledge the importance of using and recognizing Te Reo Māori place names. Teisa reflects as a Samoan woman living in Aotearoa on what it means to respect the whenua, tangata whenua and Te Reo Māori. She asks how those of us who are tauiwi can listen, learn and support the language in our homes, workplaces and communities. Featuring the following waiata Pōkarekare Ana and Poi E this episode honours those who came before, those here today, and the generations yet to come. May you stand strong in your Te Reo Māori, your whakapapa and who you are. Ake, ake, ake A Forever Language.
