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".

My car wouldn't start this morning. After a mass run around in a rush to get to work, anxiety of finding a carpark, all the 3D worries of the world.

#184 Use Your Walnut Voice 09.05.2023 9:50
I got a sacral hit from the TV Show on Amazon called "Good Omens" in the last epiosde where the Anti-Christ is being advised on how he should confront his father.
