Description

She turned Raglan into a novel, and a creative path into a real career. In this episode of How to Make It Work, I sit down with local author Sarah Johnson to talk about her new young adult novel Not A Babe, set right here in Whāingaroa. We dive into Sarah’s journey into writing, and how she’s building a creative career from a small coastal town. From juggling family life and late night shifts to the power of community through the writer's collective Raglan Inkspillers: This conversation is an honest look at what it really means to make it work as an author.

Coaching Families with Neurodiverse Children

From asking "what is wrong" to asking "what is strong!" In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Annick Janson to talk about what it really takes to turn research into real-world impact, and why she’s bringing her globally recognised program Now & Next to Raglan. After securing funding to launch the initiative locally, Annick shares how Now & Next empowers parents of children with disabilities to create meaningful change for their families. Rooted in positive psychology and co-designed with lived experience, the program is about turning challenges into possibilies, and building stronger, more connected communities along the way.
