Parenthood

Balancing work, parenting and a relationship can often feel like a constant juggling act.

In this Father's Day episode, I sit down with my husband Jules to have an honest conversation about the realities of modern family life. From high pressure careers and raising children to dividing the mental load, finding time for each other and navigating the inevitable guilt that comes with trying to do it all.

This episode is about the imperfect reality of parenthood and aims to reassure you all that that no family has it all figured out.

Our kids are celebrating book week, so we are too. This week I’m joined by best-selling author Ali Lowe and one of my absolute all time favs. We are chatting all things Ali’s inspiration for her books, book recommendations, what to do if our kids are not into reading, how books can support our mental health and sanity and so much more.

As parents, it's tempting to step back when our children seem reluctant to try something new.

But sometimes they don't need us to stop encouraging them.

They need us to keep believing in them until they believe in themselves.

This week, I'm sharing a moment with my son Charlie that reminded me how powerful gentle persistence can be.

Our parents shape so much of who we become, often in ways we don't recognise until we have children of our own.

In this Father's Day episode, we'll explore the lessons Scott inherited from his own father, the values he has chosen to keep, and the generational patterns he has consciously decided to break.

We'll discuss masculinity, identity, bullying, acceptance and the courage it takes to parent differently. Scott's story is a powerful reminder that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the freedom to become exactly who they are.

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re talking all things kids ruling the household.

We delve into your responses around who is in charge in your households. The shift in modern parenting and has the pendulum swung too far? How we manage the tantrums, hangry children, demands and when it’s time to put our foot down.
