Ep. 11 - Enjoying Teenagers, Generous Hospitality and Gardening // Heidi

Nov 28, 2025 · 90 min

Here's a wonderful conversation with Heidi van der Veen! She is married to Paul and they have 3 young adult/teenage children. I actually used to babysit Heidi's kids back in the day when I was a teenager! So it was lovely to get to sit down with her and get to know her more and hear about all things homemaking, gardening and even parenting. She shares her unique story of how she met her husband and moved to and from Holland and Australia, how experiencing others generosity has led her to give freely herself, and some of the secret sauce to having joyful relationships with teenagers. Of course we got into all the usual questions too, so check out her recipes and products here on the website
