Parents Who Think

Navigating Christmas with separation and divorce in the mix? Today's episode with Nina Farr is all about making this season as drama-free as possible. Let's face it, Christmas can be an intense time, adding a new family setup/grief/conflict (and whatever else) into the mix is tough. This ep is a thought provoking view from someone who equips couples with practical advice and tips to move forward positively over Christmas and beyond.

In this episode I'm a guest on Emma Stroud's entertaining podcast called "Clowning Around". Fast paced, funny and poignant – watch out for Emma's sidekick clown who makes her appearance. This is an episode like no other.

In this episode I'm a guest on Nicky Patrick's fabulous podcast called 'It's Somewhere in the Bottom of my Handbag". What I love about this show is the way Nicky asks guests to speak about one topic – she hits record and off guests go. Here's me talking about work life balance.

Together, we must and can advance in making sure girls rising in this world becomes a sustained reality. This is the heart of my conversation with tech entrepreneur, Jo Wimble-Groves who is also mum of 3, an author and passionate advocate for women and girls.

Her book Rise of the Girl engages with how to help our daughters fulfil their potential and achieve success in this challenging world. Our girls show us starkly that they are struggling and Jo and I talk about this toll on relationships, friendships, mental wellness, academic progress and more. This is not an episode that follows the seven conversation starters Jo suggests in her book (though we touch on these topics including poor self-esteem, low self-worth and lack of self-belief). Buy the book for that friends. Instead, we ponder the plight of boys and young men as well as why, right now, Jo had to start with the rise of girls. This is a crucial conversation...

What happens when you get to 37 and you're single, and being a mother is the only thing you've ever truly wanted?

Liv charted her journey to motherhood in her amazing book, Liv's Alone. We talk everything you've always wanted to know about getting pregnant without a partner, being professionally single, and how it's panning out for her as a solo mama…

Today I bring you the story of one woman's determination to make sure her son and children like him are represented in products around them. Surely not a lot to ask but Desriee Asomuyide found otherwise and like the BADASS that she is she got up and did something about it. In this episode you'll hear why representation brands are on the rise (big YES) and why every school must equip themselves with products to mirror the diversity of all people.

Desriee Asomuyide discovered that the UK market for educational flashcards representing children of colour was non-existent. It was important that her one year old son Isaiah, and other children like him, see themselves represented through educational and developmental resources. Little Omo was born. This episode is for everyone, friends.
