Martin Henderson Instagram – Hi my name is Billinda but my friends call me B. Like Martin I’m a proud kiwi (New Zealander). In Dec. I decided I needed to do something regularly to look after my wellbeing so I set up a wellbeing platform where I post inspirational quotes and set wellbeing challenges. On the 25th March the whole of New Zealand went into lockdown due to Covid-19 and it was during this time I decided to start interviewing inspiring people to talk about what they were doing to look after their wellbeing in the hope to inspire and encourage others. I was lucky enough to chat with Martin. On the 7th of August there was an article in the New Zealand Herald which caught my eye and sparked an idea, with a new direction in interviewing inspiring people. The article was encouraging people to get behind a new website loneliness.org.nz with the aim ‘Let’s End Loneliness’ because conquering loneliness in New Zealand will improve the wellbeing of our population. I started researching and found loneliness is a serious worldwide public health problem. And now more than ever people are unable to come together in the physical sense because of the pandemic. It got me thinking…what can I do during this time of isolation for many to help make them smile, to give them a positive, lifelong memory? And that is when I approached Martin who loved the idea of bringing people together all over the world to chat.
On Saturday 29th August, 7.30 pm pacific daylight time I will be live streaming on YouTube a Zoom interview with Martin and we would love for you to join us as an audience member with some of you getting the opportunity to speak to Martin yourselves and ask him a question. Spaces are limited. Please email [email protected] for more information. We look forward to meeting you! | Posted on 27/Aug/2020 05:11:21
