Teaching everyday NZ'ers emotional health skills

Auckland

Our world is a mess. People are hurting.

Issues like burnout, auto-immunity, fractured relationships, and toxic work cultures are signposts that the stories we tell ourselves are not working.

Most people require 100+ hours of specialist support to unravel what they believe and why. That financial investment can cost $10k - $40k, far beyond the reach of most everyday people.

There has to be a better way.

Living Wisdom is a 100hr masterclass in emotional health, using insight-driven solutions, to bring long-term, sustainable change. And it works. Using the material, I have gone from cycles of trauma, shame, regret, and quick fixes, into reclaiming my health, my joy, and my relationships.

And now, I want to help others.

This is why I have trained with David Riddell, founder of Living Wisdom, as an accredited member of his team. My desire is to travel NZ and teach everyday people to make their minds their friend. But to do so, I need your help.

I am looking to raise $20,000 to purchase a hybrid SUV, to carry the teaching tools and resources of Living Wisdom and to ensure safe and cost-effective travel across the country.

We all want to change the world. But, our ability to affect the world around us, starts by examining the world within us.

I truly believe in Living Wisdom and its power to transform everyday people.

That is why I have invested everything I have financially into this journey.

Please help me to help others by partnering with this initiative.

An update from Jess  8 December 2025

Firstly, I wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who followed along with this journey, financially contributed, or shared this page with others.

I am incredibly grateful.

Secondly, I wanted to share an update on where things are at, and the plan moving forward into 2026.

At the end of 2024, I obtained a vehicle suitable for travelling and teaching Living Wisdom. The car required some mechanical work, and the funds raised through Give-a-little were used to complete this.

Not two weeks after the work was complete, I developed a rare nerve condition which saw me lose the motor function in my right arm. I found this incredibly difficult as I was weeks away from taking Living Wisdom on the road, and now found myself unable to do every tasks like dressing or brushing my own hair.

Recovery has been long, and at times tedious, as anyone with nerve related issues can relate to. I am working with a team of specialists to recover strength, range of motion and autonomy, and though this condition is rarely permanent, the timeline for healing is often around two years.

My plan is still to take Living Wisdom on the road, when I'm well enough to do so. In the meantime, I will keep upskilling myself from a place of rest, so that when I'm well I can hit the ground running.

Thank you again to everyone who has contributed. I truly appreciate you all.

Jessica
