Walnut Wednesday

Hi hi hi I am over the moon to have found a moment to catch you up. Current lesson: some people need you broken and "you don't need to remain broken, just because it is all you've ever known" (thanks to Alex Reads Tarot on Tiktok).Talk to you soon! Love, Lazz xoPS CHASING THE WILD BY ELLIOTT ROSE IS OUT IN YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORES NOW!

This week, I'm so excited to speak with a friend from HIGH SCHOOL who is out in the world doing all sorts of amazing stuff! Welcome, Kat Farron!Kat spent almost 10 years climbing the ranks in retail marketing, thriving in high-pressure environments and pushing through the quiet warning signs of burnout, until her body stepped in and forced a full stop. What followed was a slow, sometimes messy, reconnection with rest, purpose, and mental wellbeing. Out of that space came Oh Vienna - a brand inspired by her rescue dog and a desire to create products that are as practical as they are considered. Now, Kat is passionate about building a business that prioritises balance, creativity, and a softer way of doing things.Check it all out on Insta: @oh_vienna_nz and the website: www.ohvienna.co.nz

This week I get to chat with a wonderful friend of mine, Sam Cotton, who shared an honest overview of her postpartum experience. I'm so grateful for women who come and share their stories with us - and this episode is no exception! Sam and I chat about her story in hopes to help new (or otherwise) Mother's to feel less isolated and alone.Sam is passionate about maternal mental health, postpartum honesty, and what it means to be both a mother and a woman, and where those things both intersect and run parallel to one another (and fighting the guilt that comes with that!). You can connect with Sam on IG @lavender_blue

This week I am so excited to have one of my besties online to chat to me all about starting her business and the journey she's been on up until now.Amberley is a hairdresser, business owner and all round bad bish surviving some of the most difficult things life could throw at you.Check out @seatsstudio and @amberleyrose to keep up to date with the goods!

"you don't love yourself - because you put up with what you think you deserve" This week a passing comment has really stuck with me and made me reflect on my self love and self worth - what do you think?

Saddling up for my most hefty walnutting yet and I have noticed that the FIVE+ years of doing the self-work has built me up to be a resilient walnut woman, who can handle anything while at the same time, give myself grace if things make me uncomfortable; and more importantly, not make it mean anything about ME!Nails are Glamrdip xo

Not sure why this song kept popping into my head for this episode, Walnut. This week, I am feeling so empowered to be a woman - I am loving the resurgence of "girl power" and how much comradery I feel and see in coversations with other Walnut Women and Walnut Mamas in my current season.The girls just GET IT and sometimes, that's all we need.PS - thank you so much Elliott Rose, my author, who bought me flowers. It really did make my day, week, life! Love you!

This week's Menty B is sponsored by my parents offering to pay for a new carseat that I need. In this season, where my time is so much more precious, I have had reflected back to me, all the relationships where the energy I put in is not matched. This has overwhelmed me so much, that accepting kind gestures is hard for me again!

Hi hi Walnut, pardon the water works but this episode got me in my feels (again). I've had my first week back in corporate work and while there are so many good things and things that work about it on paper; on the inside I am really sad about it.I also mentioned I have created a new podcast handle on Instagram @walnutwednesdaypodcast just incase weekly episodes start to slow down [insert water works].Thanks so much for all your support, Walnut and for holding space for me after all this time!

This week is a short story time where I felt seen by my friend. I have been getting stuck in a "just carry on" mentality and I have noticed that I stopped asking for help - which doesn't mean I don't need it!

I'm sick, I'm tired and we went on a family holiday with friends.

This week I get to chat with Hannah, from the New Zealand Brand, Bear & Moo. We real-talk about business, cloth nappies and everything in between! Hannah says: I am the Founder & Director of Bear & Moo, an online store based in Hamilton for your everyday family.  As a new Mum, I found there were lots of little costs that added up.  One of the things that I used to hate spending money on was nappies, so I looked into cloth nappies. They just made sense to me and so I wanted to find a way to make them more accessible to kiwi families. Since launching Bear & Moo in 2018 we’ve also created our own kids clothing range called Hello Poppet and added a huge number of products to the Bear & Moo range like change mats, bibs, wet bags, day bags and recently silicone toys. My husband Richard and I now have 3 kids, 4 including Bear & Moo, and our youngest has just toilet trained so we are no longer a cloth nappy family but I absolutely adore helping other families get started and save a ton of money.I’ve built an epic community of wonderful customers and love sharing the behind the scenes of running a business, juggling parenthood and trying to squeeze a moment in there for me too!Shop at: www.bearandmoo.co.nz

I'm so excited to be having this chat with the beauty behind Little Rose!

I'm just calling myself out in this episode. At the end I thank you for listening to my "garbage" and then redact the statement. I'm just going through it right now, Walnut; and trying to figure out where all the versions of myself can flow and exist together - it's a bit hard!www.walnutwednesday.com/link-in-bio/

This week's overshare is about how I did an exercise where I was asked to think of "my happy place" and interestingly enough, what came to mind was... MY OWN BED!
