Welcome back to Moment. Moment is your place for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

This week’s moment is with Philippa Perry who many of you know and love. She wrote that incredible book - The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read

This clip is so powerful. In it, she shares the truth about feelings, especially anger, and why it is vital for us parents to be able to feel our own feelings so then we can help our children do it.

As we often talk about on the podcast, being able to connect to our feelings and help our children do that is the foundation for emotional health which we know is a massive indicator of how happy we are in our lives.

I hope this episode is inspiring and helps you have an easier week ahead.
