The SME Stream Weekly Wrap - 28th August

Kim Crossman has spent more than 20 years building a career in entertainment... but becoming a mum has changed everything.

In this episode of Make It Happen, we sit down with Kim to talk about what happens when the career you’ve spent decades building suddenly isn’t the only thing defining your future.

We talk about the uncertainty of an industry where your next job is never guaranteed, learning to back yourself through change, and how becoming a mum to Coco led Kim to rethink what she wanted her next chapter to look like.

Kim opens up about her experience with postpartum prolapse and how one of the hardest periods of her life exposed a problem she couldn’t stop thinking about. That problem eventually led her to become a co-founder of Vital Bits - a business dedicated to postpartum recovery and wellness products.

We get into career reinvention, starting a business for the first time and using a personal brand to open doors in an entirely new industry.

Subscribe to Make It Happen for more honest conversations about what it actually takes to start, build and grow a business.

Guest Episode: Kim Crossman - How Motherhood Led Her to Reinvent Her Career & Start A Business

Could we FINALLY be at an economic turning point?  

Westpac economists have forecast the economy will return to growth in the current quarter. 

They reckon there'll be 2.1% growth across 2026 – even picking up to 3% next year ... with exports and tourism doing the heavy lifting. 

So, are we out of the woods - or is this just a brief respite before the next shock? 

Today on The Front Page, Westpac chief economist Kelly Eckhold joins us to break down what it means for your wallet, your job, your mortgage – and whether this recovery is for real. 

Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
