NZ EmpowerMe

Each time we finish an EmpowerME survivor programme, the most common request is that our sisters can meet each other in person. Feel the connection of their shared trauma.

Can you imagine a weekend filled with healing workshops, shared stories, and the strength of sisterhood?

For our 'Lift a Sister' survivors of sexual harm, this isn't just a fun time, it's the foundation for healing. EmpowerME is raising funds for a powerful retreat weekend for these courageous women. This retreat offers a safe space for survivors to connect, share their journeys, and build a powerful sense of belonging.

We need to raise money to make this idea a reality. We are doing this a few ways; with our event Bassline Therapy - An EmpowerME Fundraiser
and with an auction of some incredible products and services donated by some wonderful humans. Info regarding each item is on each image, you can post on the image or message us to place a bid. All funds raised will go directly towards supporting our survivors retreat weekend.

The auction will run until September 18 at 6pm, till then it's live, and open bidding is GO!

*HOW TO BID*
Go to the photo of the item you would like to bid on, make your bid in the comments of that photo. Keep an eye on bids going higher than yours!
On 18th the highest bid on that photo will be the winner of the auction item.

We will then ask the highest bidder to make payment to the give a little page (link below). And in the following days complete delivery of your auction item 🤩

We would like to thank all the amazing humans who made this auction a reality ✨🤗🙏🏼

Keep an eye on this page, we have more items on the way so this album will be updated as the they come in. Happy bidding, and thank you for being a part of this drive to help survivors.

I have just put in a funding application to be able to bring all my EmpowerME survivor sisters together!

It’s the biggest request nearing the end of our 8-week full immersion programme - to be able to meet and hold each other physically after diving so deep and spending such crucial emotional development time together.

I have paused all live courses for EmpowerME while I finish this important mahi in my masters project.

I also ended up giving away too many courses for free because my heart is so big and the need is so vast… so to be able to bring everyone together is but a wish.

In order to get funding I must show that I am seeking funds from elsewhere to support the retreat coming together.

One of the ways I can do that is this give-a-little page. (The other is the gig you are all about to be spammed with 😂)

I know everyone is super tight right now and we are all treading water to keep ourselves a float. I hear you, believe me. I’m there too.

I only ask that instead of that coffee today, or that sneaky treat. You instead choose to tap this link and support our survivors in their journey to feeling whole again.

It’s a rat s**t journey, I know from experience, and one that craves and deserves connection and a sense of belonging.

That is what this is about. To strengthen the sense of belonging for our survivors on their tough and really long journey to healing their sexual trauma - which let’s be frank, should never have f*cking happened to them.

Please support by sharing this link with your networks or chucking in a $5er 🙏🏼

Love and goodness to you all

Time for a winter deal!

We’ve hit the mid winter mark now and we are all spending much more time indoors. This also means less sunlight and less Vitamin D. Often in this season we release less serotonin, we move slower and we are a greater risk of depression.

Grab one of these journals to keep your mind on the good things, release serotonin (similar to melatonin) before sleep time, relaxing you into a deeper more nourishing sleep, allowing your brain to do all the heavy lifting while you sleep.

Great to do after dinner with your kids, awesome to swap each night in little chat groups, gooood for mind nutrition!

Hit me up if you’d like to know more about the neuroscience behind just how good this practice is for you, your relationships (expands your emotion vocabulary), nervous system, critical thinking and more… I could talk about it for hours and I have a cool ‘shed story’ to explain neuroplasticity 😍

100-day version $25 ea (usually $35)
30- day version $10 ea (usually $20)
Both come in Green and Peach

Happy Pills are running low but have a few left $10 for tube of 30. These have little affirmations rolled up within the pill (not for consumption)

PM me to order 😁💞

Stepping out!
Little bit excited to be speaking main stage at this conference in a couple of months!

And so very grateful for the opportunity to talk about my Masters project and get some feedback, and experienced, knowledgeable questioning around the project!

If you just want to hear my talk you can purchase an online ticket to receive the playback afterwards 😊

If you’re coming, let me know!

3 Good Things has been my foundational go to practice for nearly 12yrs!

It’s fun to switch up my focus on a gratitude topic for the evening too. Sometimes I’ll focus on what I’m grateful for in my friends, sometimes it’s an internal job and if I’m feeling I need a self-confidence boost I’ll think of 3 good things about me in the last 24hrs.

Whatever the focus, this practice is the single most important practice for re-wiring my natural negativity bias and to reduce the potential for my fight or flight reflexes to jump online and take over.

Get yours today to lead yourself to better internal systems and really feel that positive lens of the world.

MHAW - Mental Health Awareness Week begins today.

Today Monday ‘Take Notice’ refers to the practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness can be thought of as open
and receptive attention to, and awareness of, what is occurring in the present moment.

What have you noticed today? Share with me in the comments 😊

Ko Ruapehu te maunga

This photo was taken a few weeks ago by a member of my ski club.
I’m off down to my maunga for a few days of fresh air and connection.

Where is your tap out space? The space where you re-calibrate and reconnect?

Be kind and take no s**t.

I’m Tamara. I have supported and coached MANY womxn who are established in the music industry through through SA and have developed a course specific to it - that’s how prevalent it is!
I have worked with festival owners to upgrade their safety procedures to include sexual harm prevention and process - thanks for the bounce on the grey areas.
I have been watching the trial in Rotorua daily and although so utterly disappointed, yet again, I am not surprised. Most womxn I work with don’t press charges and find the ACC Sentsitive claims process daunting and this case is why. OUR SYSTEMS NEED TO CHANGE. Because while I’m trying to work in prevention… we are flooded with the aftermath. Our justice system is terribly flawed and still leans towards the interests of the perp over the care of the victim in these cases. Yes we have orgs working hard to improve things, but it’s not happening fast enough or wide enough. 1 in 4 women have or will be sexually harmed in their lifetime in NZ and most, by the time they are 24. How many women is that? Have a quick count around you now…

And how many men are getting away with this destructible behaviour? S**t has got to change and the change starts with you, MEN.

I’ve seen 3 men support this campaign. Where are the rest of you?

If you are wanting support and coaching, go to the courses tab on my website and there is a survivors sponsorship form you can fill out to do my trauma informed course for free.

I am with you, I believe you, I am you ❤️

High impact, low commitment.

If you’re an emerging leader wanting to tackle the complexities of managing teams, navigating challenges with ease and keeping your cool to master the bumps along the way, EmpowerME Pro is for you.

Tap into the micro-learning modules throughout the week and join the group for a 1-hr workshop each week to anchor and integrate. All online, with downloadable resources and worksheets you can take with you for consistent future use.

A couple of months ago I shared a news article re one of my ‘legends’ and seeing it, called me asking if she could throw a fundraiser to be able to support more women through our trauma-informed course. Well that incredible wāhine certainly did THAT last Friday!! I’m still rather speechless at the enormity of support and our beautiful community for making this such an epic night to remember. ✨
Special thanks to for words that snapped me out of a meltdown on the day, for capturing such gorgeous memories, all the amazing DJ’s who made both d-floors hum all night long, .nikki and her team for looking after us so well, .corp & Lesley for keeping the door in order, my darling daughter and for keeping my overwhelm contained and most importantly to all of YOU for coming along, stomping the night away and showing us your most amazing outfits!

I spent most of my night talking about what I do and the staggering statistics. The awareness and interest was triple what I expected and for that I am endlessly grateful 🙏🏼💖

Because of you, 8 more women will learn to thrive despite their trauma - and I’ll leave you to imagine the positive ripple effect each of those women will spark ⚡️

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ❤️

Ps the give-a-little page is up for another month so keep sharing it.
Pps we now have a sponsorship form for survivors on the website. If that’s for you, fill it out to get on the next survivor course 💝

EmpowerMe Fundraiser | Humanitix EmpowerMe Fundraiser, Hosted at Ahu , 153 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland 1011, New Zealand, Fri 21st Jul 2023, 6:00 pm - 11:59 pm NZST. Tickets are only $20. Only on Humanitix

Yesterday we started our Ākina Impact Certification journey.
EmpowerME’s baseline purpose is to reduce sexual harm nationally by not only ensuring our courses are trauma-informed in design and delivery, from the moment of contact, but also in our consult with businesses on policy, procedures and tailored in-house training design. We are purpose first and through our impact model in the last year, we have provided free trauma informed courses to 24 survivors of sexual harm.

We intend on expanding our mahi into the prevention space by delivering emotion regulation and emotional intelligence programmes in high schools, partnering with Health teachers across NZ.

Currently we are having all our content and material reviewed and ethically approved by various adolescent development specialists across the country. Progress is in motion. And each one of you, by working with us, helps us to achieve that goal.

We aren’t just about supporting what has been, we are passionate about shaping what is to come.

Send me a message today, to see how EmpowerMe can empower you.

When we feel like we don’t have time and ‘everything’s fine’ instead of scrolling at night before sleep, you could try our easy self-paced course JOURNEY WITHIN.

Log in and do one session per night for 9-days and you’ll feel that nudge and be back on track with where you’re at.

Great for emotion regulation reminders and tools to use with your teams when things get a bit gnarly.

Only $69 and no commitment of finishing by a certain time.
