How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Bucket Emptying: 5 Parenting Lessons I Learnt from Mumsnet's Justine Roberts


Listen Later

Nobody is a perfect mum, and none of us know everything… not even the experts.


That’s why I found my recent chat with Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet, so fascinating. She shared her own insights as a founder, an influencer to millions of parents, and a mum, and it blew my mind.


We covered everything from how to regulate our kids’ use of technology, to why there’s so much shame around weight loss drugs. It’s a conversation not to be missed!


That’s why, in today’s bucket emptying episode, I’m sharing the top five takeaways from that interview, and if you’re also interested in hearing more from Justine, listen to the full episode now - it’s just below this one in the podcast feed.


So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
