EDN friend, alumni and talented woodworker, Natalia (Talcia), answered some questions about motherhood and the daily rituals she has been practising during lockdown with her son, Milo, and partner, Morgan.

We had the joy of working with her in both our Ponsonby store and the Mt Maunganui Pop up, she has been on maternity leave since Milo was born.

T - And at the end of the day I talk to my mum on the phone. It has been a ritual ever since I moved out of home, and even if we can only squeeze in five minutes it’s one constant that I look forward to and always feel better for it.

T - I’ve also had to learn how to soften ideas around how much I can get done in a day, and that vulnerability isn’t always a bad thing and can foster a new kind of strength.
