We talk a lot about emotional regulation, mindfulness and play, but it can be hard finding ways to actually DO these in our busy lives. Enter art therapy. For kids and adults alike, we speak to registered art therapist and mum of two, Alex Lederman, to learn more. We discuss…

Alex’s experience with art and art therapy

What is involved in art therapy?

The process (not the outcome) of creating

Do you have to be good at art?

What happens if a child creates dark or worrying art?

Embracing creativity for yourself

What can we create at home with our kids to connect?

How can we encourage our kids to get into art?

How art therapy has shaped Alex’s motherhood

Perimenopause. It seems to have boomed in awareness and for good reason. To find out more we speak to Dr Fatima Khan about everything from PMDD, symptoms of perimenopause, when it starts and how we address it (and also how is this fair!?!) As a leading perimenopause and menopause doctor, Dr Fatima combines a holistic approach with clinical expertise to offer treatments that support mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. We ask her…

What is PMDD?

Is ADHD and PMDD connected?

How hormones impact mental health 

What is perimenopause and when does it start?

The symptoms of perimenopause

How the shifting age of parenthood has compounded perimenopause

Patriarchy and perimenopause - why it isn’t a good mix

If you think you’re in perimenopause, what do we do?

What is HRT?

Did you know the most common symptom of menopause is joint pain

How trauma impacts menopause (and vice versa)

Reframing women’s health

You can find Dr Fatima Khan's book Hormone Health is Mental Health here.

Sophie’s leaning into Book Week

Jayde gives an honest mental health update

Sophie is pissed off about the state of mental health support

How do we support others struggling with their mental health?
