How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Listen Later

“I want it all. I want it now” - timeless words sung by the late Freddie Mercury, and sampled by every child ever, including your own, am I right?


But let’s be honest, they’re not the only ones. As parents, we put ourselves under so much pressure to keep up with the Joneses and have it all… but what does that even mean?

In this episode, I am here to tell you one thing, and one thing only: you are not perfect, and that’s okay! It’s time to follow my seven tips and embrace the beautiful, incredible, imperfect you.


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