Walnut Wednesday

Welcome back Tessa Hope! This week we talk all about her greatest walnutting to date, where Tessa decided to leave teaching. We talk all about accountability with no responsibility, teenagers, the five stages of dying and how "your calling" could be seen as a motivator. Tessa is a Palmy-born Wellington-based 34 year old ex-teacher. After studying in Wellington for 4 years, she worked as...

This week my walnutting is simply sharing with you that I feel unworthy of all the kindness, love and gifts that have been coming my way. I have received all of this with so much guilt, apprehention and feelings like I "don't deserve" any of this.

This week, I'm talking about a situation that deeply disappointed me, where I was not able to have a conversation in the heat of the moment and time smoothed it over. I still held myself accountable to the fact that I wanted to have a discussion and this is my reflection on Walnut Communication after the fact, when emotions have simmered down and it is easier to simply sweep things under the r...

The title of this episode says it all, Walnut, I'm feeling very vulnerable in my condition and find it incredibly hard to ask for what I need right now. Connect with me further at www.walnutwednesday.com FB Group: The Walnut Tree IG: @walnutwednesday Book: Walnut Wednesday the book

This week is a carry on with the theme of saying "no" and backing myself (again). I also shared something I learned about the different ways we communicate. Connect with me further at www.walnutwednesday.com FB Group: The Walnut Tree IG: @walnutwednesday Book: Walnut Wednesday the book

This week, I had to set a boundary and say no. On reflection, it brought up old feelings that made me feel anger in justice for Past Lazz who always deemed herself un-worthy.

This is a follow up from the micro-walnuttings in episode 250, where I am still feeling squishy and I had two polarising examples from the preparation I did to calm my nervous system from last week.

This week I am noticing the squishy feelings coming back up and I share three mini things I've done to get through it. Also, cue the tears as I get distracted and my brain falls out of my butt, when I lose my train of thought and end the episode in tears... my apologies but WE CARRY ON!

This week, I've called in sick - and it is crazy to me that this still makes me feel guilty, depsite that is what a sick day is for! Connect with me further at www.walnutwednesday.com FB Group: The Walnut Tree IG: @walnutwednesday Book: Walnut Wednesday the book

I have two examples this week, Walnut, where I've felt cringe and done it anyway... that's the moral of this episode. Nothing more and nothing less. Be bold, be brave, be YOU! and just give it a go!

Wanlut, this week I felt a little bit stuck with what I want to talk about and got confronted with the specifics for what it is I actually want for Walnut Wednesday, my life and my identitity. Card pull this week - IMAGINATION "imagination now sets me free. Divine ones, I send my thanks to thee. "If "anything can happen" - what do you  actually  want? Connect with me further at...

Short and sweet episode this week, Walnut, where I've had a moment of frustration that I cannot do things like I normally would be able to. I've had to take my second 12-week challenge down a notch instead of progress further in the final weeks due to my condition and listening to my body.

The theme of this week is GO WITH THE FLOW. I talk all about my Personal Assistant / Sister Birthday Trip where this theme was strong. Everything "went wrong" from flight cancellations to the bakery I wanted to go to being closed and how we just relaxed into the "roadtrip vibe".

I feel so special to be having this conversation with Victoria Faith, this week. We talked about creating content on social media and how she started on her content journey through makeup artistry. Later, we deep dive into her cancer diagnosis at the age of 35 and how this has impacted her life and Tori's intentions with sharing her journey through this. Meet Victoria Lomaloma, a 35-year-old f...

This week, I have been reflecting on the people in my life and noticed that I don't show my appreciation for the ones closer to home as much as I'd like to. I've assigned myself some homework, to try and vocally give my appreciation (and why that is) to my nearest and dearest this week!

Walnut, I had another menty-B (in-front of people) at work this week. I took myself home and I had a nap. Tips I saw on the internet that work: If you feel like you hate everyone, EAT If you feel like everyone hates you, SLEEP If you feel like you hate yourself, SHOWER If you feel like everyone hates everyone, GO OUTSIDE Connect with me further at www.walnutwednesday.com FB Group: The Walnut Tree...

This week, we welcome back Kate for a discussion on recovering people pleaser-ship, how we are perceived by others and the idea that friendships aren't always convinient. We disucss finding a middle ground when it comes to vulnerability and how we can still remain assertive to a degree. Connect with Kate on Instagram @misskbromley or in my free Facebook Group, The Walnut Tree

I found out what flavour my vampire is! It felt like the moment you flip a coin and while it's in the air, you know what you want your decision to be. I had my village of women come back to me with feedback that "gender disappointment is a thing" and tell me that all my feelings are valid and normal.

Watch the video version of this if you'd like to see my Vampire Bump! This week my walnutting is in line with wearing the crop top, where I've been in a strange place not wanting to wear tight fitting clothes for fear that The Bump just looks like I had a big lunch... I've worn my witch dress twice as my walnutting and I am so pleased with the walnut result - it was just a normal day!...

DISASTER WEEKEND (to no one else but me) because I stressed myself out to the point of physical exhaustion. I wasn't hearing the people close to me because I was too upset with myself to accept that it was no big deal. This episode is a reminder to be present, a reminder to celebrate and enjoy the people in your corner (when they empower you) and to be vocal. Connect with me further at www.wal...

Another early morning discussion with me, Walnut, grab your coff and let's talk about something I've noticed in the way we, as humans share information. This week I'm going to focus on active listening and to try to take pause before I speak. Let me know what you think!

This week, I am confronted with a similar situation that I have experienced in the past and with all my Walnut Armour I am now equipt to handle it in a different, more empowered way. It's also brought up the reflection that I am so lucky and pleased with the life I have curated for myself and the support system that I have around me.

Hi Walnut, I've found it really hard to compart mentalise the different feelings brought up by an announcement we made on Facebook: - there are so many other, of equal value, exciting things that I have achieved that warrant such level of "congratulations: - there are so many other things that literally get blocked from us that are important - the strangeness that people on the internet I...

This week, I noticed new changes in my body - stretch marks and bigger bits - and I cried! I've reflected that this has been my physical body version of "noticing is the best first step" AND THAT'S OKAY!
