Walnut Wednesday

This week I am so excited to be having a chat with the gorgeous Jen, from Way She Goes Clothes. I basically love bombed Jen ever since my first purchase and have never looked back... sorry Jen! We talk all about starting a business and all of the thought that has gone into this brand. Jen is the co-founder of Way She Goes Clothes and a lifelong book lover. She's created this brand to craft dur...

Your voice matters, my voice matters and a little slither of feminism scattered into this short and sweet podcast episode.

This week we speak with Jess, a mid-thirties, rural living, homeschooling mama of three wild boys aged six and under who is learning to balance being a coordinator of chaos while doing healing work and parenting. Jess has had two birthing centre births (one with interventions) and a homebirth. Jess says that "lots of my journey over the past ten years has been around addressing my trauma and...

I ATTENDED A MUMS AND BUBS YOGA CLASS! I felt fear, I felt nervous, but I did one tick box at a time and got my little butt - and my bubba's butt - to the class! Mums and Bubs at Wild Wellbeing in Kapiti

This week I have author, Stephanie visiting us, where we talked all about her book "Pretend For Me" (and those coming soon). We had a chat about postpartum, marriage and creating despite going through hard things. A theme I really enjoyed during our conversation was how two things can be true at the same time! Stephanie is a storyteller blessed (and sometimes cursed) with an overactive imagination...

I have attended another social event as a new mom and discovered being social gives me dread akin to hangxiety!

Just doing some reflecting today and looking at the baskets I want to put more of my eggs in!

I'd been quietly removing a pump each day, trying to regulate my nervy system (& boobies) into not pumping anymore. Breastfeeding/pumping/mixed feeding comes with so much extra baggage as the Mother of the Vampire, no matter how logically you think about it, it still hits you in your worthiness centre sore spots. The Master, Louie, is no longer a Vampire and this was his last bottle of my brea...

I got my first period. It makes me feel like I'm another step closer to "going back to normal" and it makes me uncomfortable because I feel so far from "normal"

Something new I'm trying because my relationship is taking a hit postpartum - being selfless in the name of being selfish.

The theme of this episode is about being happy instead of right and letting things reveal themselves to us. Connect with Kate on Instagram @misskbromley or in my free Facebook Group, The Walnut Tree.

The Beauty is back! We welcome Kate back to the podcast and this time we took up the challenge to talk mid-menty-b rather than on reflections and the lessons that have come with it. We discuss how to keep going when you're "in it" - what we are both doing, how we are both struggling to make choices at the moment and how we feel like we are simply just "existing" at the mome...
