Walnut Wednesday
On a Wednesday, Lazz and her guests share how they had courage and 'walnutted', to encourage you to move, decide to be brave and be a part of The Walnut Tree. Lazz is the creator, owner and life giver of Walnut Wednesday which is now so much more than a podcast. It is incredible real-life humans, changing the world, one baby brave step at a time. She's been bravely walnutting and leading other women to grow their own confidence ever since."I am so many things, but if I had to narrow it down to a few I'd suggest, I'm a healer, self-leader, podcast host and more importantly, a Walnut".

#304 Self Employment and Survival Mode with Colby Robbins 11.11.2025 1:00:37
This week I have the lovely Colby chatting with me all about how she got into author services and self employment. From dog sitting to content pulls she's found herself in a really happy place in life. I intended to have a bookish chat about starting a business, but of course, we do a deep dive and discuss some heavy hitting topics as Colby courageously shared some home truths about the trauma...

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 mess...

#299 Postpartum Honesty with Sam Cotton 22.07.2025 1:21:17

#297 What Do You Do When No One Is Looking 08.07.2025 7:12
A small but mighty share - what do you do and how do you behave when no one is watching? BLAD Tracksuit: Way She Goes Clothes [code: WALNUT15] Nails: Glamrdip https://www.glamrdip.com/WALNUT61705
#296 You Put Up With What You Think YOU Deserve 01.07.2025 9:16
"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?
#295 My Self Talk is Strong 24.06.2025 16:57
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
#294 I Can Buy Myself Flowers 17.06.2025 13:17
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 a...
#293 Trying to Energy Match 10.06.2025 11:18
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!
#292 Working 9 to 5 03.06.2025 19:32
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 wat...
#291 Just Carry On 27.05.2025 10:00
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!
#290 Try Not To Cry 20.05.2025 9:57
I'm sick, I'm tired and we went on a family holiday with friends.
#289 Business and Bear & Moo with Hannah Porter 13.05.2025 40:51

One of the things that I used to hate spending money o...

#284 Chill The Eff Out 08.04.2025 16:12
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/
#283 The Relief of Home 01.04.2025 7:09
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!
#282 Pulled In Two Conflicting Directions 25.03.2025 12:25
This episode is a reflection of the relief I felt when I came home from a walnutting - Louie and I went out (again). I felt the dread from everything I said and I felt the squishiness of not wanting to go back to normal. I am finding it very hard to try and be brave and get out there, while also just enjoy being present and in our little bubble - because I know, I will blink, and I'll be "...
#281 Being Kind is a Flex 18.03.2025 11:30
This week I was reflecting on an episode where I was actually triggered by being called nice. I talked about how kindness isn't a weakness and went to great passionate lengths (which I still stand by) about being called nice. But after going through the condition and since being a mother, being called nice doesn't upset me anymore and would not be received in the way I did back then. My ki...
