How Women Nourish Their Whānau (and Why It’s Time to Nourish Ourselves Too)

Women are often the heartbeat of the home, the ones who prepare the meals, pass down the recipes, and make sure everyone is fed. But too often, we forget to feed ourselves – not just with food, but with rest, care, and attention.

This month, while we celebrate what women give through food, we also want to remind you: you deserve nourishment too. Whether it's cooking something just for yourself, enjoying a meal slowly, or simply accepting help – these small acts matter.

You can't pour from an empty cup. So as we celebrate the care you give, we also encourage you to give some back to yourself.
