Each of us is more powerful to regulate our thoughts and emotions and enhance our mental health than we give ourselves credit for. PEPTALK is about helping people take back this power, through our content, publication, products and events. Underpinning this is our mission to transform the future of mental health by arming children and teens with the skills to harness the power of their minds.
PEPTALK is founded by Nadine Hickman, a passionate mother and entrepreneur, whose journey through her own mental illness struggle has taught her just what is possible when we are able to master the power of our minds.

Hi, I'm Nadine. I'm a mother of four, and passionate entrepreneur living in beautiful rural New Zealand. My passion for the power of the mind comes from my own painful personal story of mental illness. The hard lessons learned and the empowering insights are what have inspired me to found PEPTALK and develop our impacts to achieve the goal of changing the future by arming children and teens with the tools to take charge of their minds.
I was grappling with the shocking statistics and stories bandied about in the media about the many concerning issues in our society... and from the growing talk I knew many others were concerned too. I decided I wanted to do more than lament the issues at the school gate. I decided to create a means for a community who care to turn their words into action for positive change. I decided I wanted to do my part to create a happier future not only for my kids, but all of New Zealand. |
Research demonstrates that we each have the power to build our own mental wellbeing, and we can learn the strategies to do this. We can teach these skills to kids and create a new future, where we are empowered to generate positive mental wellbeing from within.
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do."
- Steve Jobs
In 2020 I set some massive goals around changing the trajectory of mental health in NZ. With my children now reaching their teenage years, I am more focused and determined than ever to create change and make the world a kinder, happier place for ALL children to grow up in.
