02: The Importance of Being a Solutionist & The Motherhood Juggle with Kalena Stano from Lendy.

Lendy is a platform with purpose, that enables everyday people to rent out everyday items. Launched earlier this year, it’s in early stages as a business but it’s something that has been on the heart of founder Kalena Stano for over a decade. We chat to Kalena about why it’s important to be a solutionist, what it’s like running a new business alongside raising a small human and she shares some insights learned from her journey so far. Kalena has a positive outlook that is infectious and inspiring, and we hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did. This episode was recorded at The Local Parklakes in Bli Bli.  Books that Kalena recommends: This One Wild and Precious Life by Sarah Wilson Slow by Brooke McAlary Girl Code by Cara Alwill While these are all available online, we encourage you to support local and head to a Sunshine Coast bookstore such as ⁠Annie's Books on Peregian⁠, ⁠Berkelouw's Eumundi⁠, ⁠The Bookshop at Caloundra⁠ or ⁠Rosetta Books Maleny⁠.
