ReconnecTEEN group mentoring program
Hey parents!
đMy name is Ellie, I am a youth life coach and work with boys and girls of all ages and walks of life. I LOVE my work and am so blessed to get to support the beautiful young people I meet.
đ€© One of the things that lights me up the most is witnessing our young peoples' transformations, like butterflies emerging from cocoons ... and from the work I've done so far this year, I have a feeling there will be a LOT of that to come!
January is almost over ⊠which means that yes school is starting (whoâs excited?) ⊠However, even more exciting is that the ReconnecTEEN program is kickinâ off in a matter of weeks!!!đ„ł
I LOVE this new program! Itâs like nothing Iâve done before - it's even juicier because Iâll be hauling in the GOLD from everything I have done so far in my coaching journey.
So, what is ReconnecTEEN?
To be able to give you as much info as I can in a nutshell, Iâve bullet-pointed some answers to questions Iâve recently been asked. You can also find out more: at thebigsisterproject18@gmail.com, or check out www.the....
đ»ReconnecTEEN is a powerful, deeply transformative group mentoring program, packed to the brim with love, knowledge & wisdom, space to play, connect, speak up, learn and teach, a whole lot of support and encouragement, and much more!
In February, a group of young people who have never met each other before will be stepping into an empowering journey of self-discovery, development, connection, and inspiration alongside each other.
đŁEvery month, theyâll get daily support via a chat group, 2 x monthly zoom calls, and 1 x monthly face-to-face gatherings, that will enrich their lives in all kinds of ways.
Within the program, they will:
> Have access to different people who will motivate and educate them with worldly knowledge and skills, whilst leading them back to their own inner power in the process.
> Get to (optionally) make new connections who will possibly turn into lifelong friends.
> Have the support in ANY area they are finding hard to navigate in their personal life.
> Have FUN, be reminded how to connect with themselves daily, and feel at ease as they go through their âstuffâ.
> Learn how to visualise and embody the life they want to create for themselves.
> Develop their confidence and strengths, with practical tools I will be teaching that I have developed from coaching, speaking, presenting/debating, teaching, writing, and workshop facilitation. They will also have an optional choice to practice those skills within the group or get some feedback from me privately.
> Understand more about processing emotions, releasing old setbacks and fears, and learning how to feel safe and grounded in the version of them that they dream of becoming.
> Have multiple people witness their potential, help them find their blind spots, and provide optional guidance for them from a new perspective.
AND MORE!
đ·There is also no pressure for them to disclose or share anything if they don't want to. Simply being surrounded by others in a safe space can be hugely healing in itself!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to âexuberanceâ? đ„
In The Postâs opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weâre âallergic to exuberance.â
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itâs worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
