In this episode of Sustainably Ever After, host Lilah McDonald sits down with mother-daughter duo Nicole and Macie Stewart, who are making waves in the world of secondhand treasures and community-driven hospitality.

Nicole Stewart, co-founder of Junk and Disorderly, shares her lifelong passion for secondhand goods and recounts the journey of building one of Auckland’s most beloved vintage and flea markets. From sourcing unique treasures to navigating trends like “fast furniture,” Nicole discusses how her business has stayed true to its roots while fostering sustainable consumer habits.

Meanwhile, Macie Stewart, founder of Kinship, reveals how growing up surrounded by entrepreneurial spirit and secondhand treasures inspired her to create a community-centric coffee haven. From serving excellent coffee to collaborating with sustainable suppliers like Ozone Coffee and Otis Oat Milk, Kinship embodies the values of human connection and mindful business practices.

Together, Nicole and Macie reflect on the importance of passion, adaptability, and staying true to your values. Whether it’s creating a circular economy, championing sustainability, or building strong communities, their shared journey is an inspiring blueprint for future social entrepreneurs.
