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".

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.

#239 Gender Disappointment "is a thing" 28.05.2024 22:27
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.

#234 Social Media and What Keeps Me Up at Night 23.04.2024 17:29
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...

#231 Fresh Out of a Menty-B 02.04.2024 13:42
Hey Walnut, this week, I'm just spiraling on some thoughts fresh out of a menty-b. I had a full meltdown at work and it was simply due to a nervous system overload and timing.
