It's not Goodbye - Just See You Later xx.

Firstly to all the Wean Meister supporters over the last 14 years – I couldn’t be more grateful for you.

The journey has been amazing, with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

My most proud achievement was that we were the very first ever business in Australia to sell Silicone Baby Feeding ware.  People used to look at me like I had 2 heads – and now, as we all know – there are PLENTY of silicone baby products on the market.

 

BUT – my bias aside – the majority of these use the cheapest silicone they can find.

They look the same in the photos, but certainly don’t feel the same or last in the same way.

Anyway, I hold my head high, because we stuck to our fabulous quality – your baby deserves it.

 

For 12 or 13 of those years, I also used to pride myself on customer service – we never would have survived that long without amazing customer care.  However, in recent times I have dropped the ball and it’s part of my reason for closing.

 

Our warehouse is fully functional – 95% of customers would never have noticed.  But to the 5% that needed support – I apologise and will explain.

 

For the last 4 years I have been having massive personal shifts.
I went from feeling depressed and overwhelmed – to now feeling more energised and on purpose than ever in my life.  I credit my very slow burn transformation to Yoga and Astrology.
My mind has been continually blown at how my personal astrology has mirrored difficult events in my life. Now I am a trained astrologer, I see how this works in other people’s lives, every day.   It’s given me so much understanding and compassion.  It is beyond fascinating when you realise how connected you are to the actual planets.

 

I created some amazing things with Wean Meister.  Our personalised Sun, Moon and Rising bibs and free reports for every baby.  It really was a BRILLIANT project, but at the end of it all I was too burnt out to market them properly; and lost a lot of money and confidence in a failed U.S. expansion.

I learnt that I love astrology – not selling bibs.

 

I started the year 2023 recovering from major burn out, and then we ended up needing to sell our home and buy a renovator’s delight.
At this exact time, we also had some terrible health complications with my youngest daughter – Acute Kidney Disease, and this was the rod that broke me.

I literally had to ignore Wean Meister for a while there – living in a building site and in and out of hospital – I was very close to breaking point.

 

6 months has passed between now and then.

 

Zadie is recovering well.

My house is not finished – but very liveable.  And the big fat cherry on top is my home Yoga and Astrology Studio – The Moon Shed.

 

I have learnt that I need to focus on the things that give me energy, not the things that drain my energy.  And the guilt of not being there for Wean Meister over the last 6 months has been a massive drain.

 

So there you have it!

 

 The baby that originally inspired Wean Meister is now 15!

And the other kids are 12 and 5 year old twins.

We are ready for change.

 

 

You have probably heard of the 7 year itch?

That is based on a Saturn cycle, every 7 years Saturn creates a bit of internal friction.

Well Wean Meister – being 14 is having a Saturn opposition – make or break.  Saturn is the big astrological timekeeper of the sky, and I hear the whisper – actually it’s loud and clear.

Let Wean Meister go, to create space for something even better… I am bursting with ideas as usual.

 

Please take advantage of these amazing prices and stock up on good quality presents.

 

Keep your eyes peeled for my next steps, because my inspiration is running very freely at the moment.

 

Love
