Little Love Stories: With Love To… An Appliance

This Glorious Mess

Have you ever felt deep gratitude toward an object? Today’s guest, Nicolle Stuart, discovered the Thermomix during her first pregnancy.

Initially, it made her feel like one of those aspirational mum-fluencers she followed on Instagram. But when breastfeeding struggles brought overwhelming guilt, the Thermomix became more than just an appliance—it helped ease the mental load and alleviate that all-too-common mother guilt.

Today’s story shows that love and appreciation can be found in the most unexpected places - we just need to be open to seeing them.
