Walnut Wednesday

This week we have Kate Bromley back for a chat on productivity, burnout and what progress looks like. We talk about being in the state of always thinking about our next moves, with the intention to be present - which is something difficult to balance! Connect with Kate on Instagram @misskbromley or in my free Facebook Group, The Walnut Tree

Kaya is a nutritionist, helping people learn a susta...

Walnut, I'm coming clean this week about an episode that has been sat in my drafts for over a year. I'm sharing my learnings from that episode, alongside the learnings and response I have about it over a year later.

This week, I am a Walnut that's fallen on her sword. I've noticed in my defensive behaviour, that it is time to take some accountability on my healing, instead of blaming the circumstance that I am in and ask for some external help to support my mental health and healing.

This week I have been faced with making a tough decision... that was not in the end tough, because my body knew a long time before my brain, what the right thing to do was. I talk about how this reminded me of a similar situation year ago and how the feeling of FOMO has changed to inner peace.

This week was prompted from a conversation I had with someone who is still in the early phases of being a "recovering people pleaser" where I tried to share, from an empowered place, how I see relationships and behave within them, to make sure my needs are met as well as the other person's.

This week let's talk about being a Recovering People Pleaser and how our kindness and empathy can feel like it is perceived as a weakness. I had a small moment where I felt this way and it made me reflect on how I may project myself to others or how others may view my kindness in this way – I realised, there are some people, who really don’t know me at all!
