🌿 International Women’s Day
Coco & Nut Pantry
Today we celebrate International Women’s Day,
the strength, care and creativity of women everywhere.
Coco & Nut Pantry was built from many roles I hold in life…a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend and a woman who simply wanted to create a space where people could slow down, feel welcome and nourish themselves.
Running a small independent business isn’t always easy, but it is deeply meaningful.
Every coffee poured, every bake made, every refill jar topped up is part of a bigger story, one about community, sustainability, and supporting one another.
Today I’m especially grateful for the women who inspire me daily: customers, friends, family, fellow small business owners, and the next generation of girls growing up watching what’s possible.
I feel especially grateful for my sister-in-law Kay at Sage & Soil. From the beginning we have stepped into this journey alongside one another, two small businesses growing side by side, sharing ideas, encouragement and the quiet reassurance that someone else understands the path.
I’m also thankful for women in our community who bring kindness and wisdom into everyday moments, like Siobhan and Milli who have helped keep Top Up Tuesday going and Donata at The Lovely Shop whose warmth is always felt.
And to friends like Michelle who quietly anchor when life feels uncertain.
Each of these women shows such strength and determination, and inspire me daily in the way they live, work and support others.
Here’s to women building, nurturing, creating and leading, in big ways and small.
Happy International Women’s Day 💛
With love & gratitude,
