  • Episode 13 Trying to raise my children
    Talking today about raising my children through a relationship breakup. Something difficult for any wounded person to deal with when children are involved. It is never easy. Breaking patterns are hard. Do we stay scared and stuck in pain and old patterns or do we stay scared but try something new? Just to be clear I am not advising anyone to stay connected with violence or abusive partners for the sake of children. Do what is right for you! Let the podcast flow and let's find out what might be a message for us all.

  • Side by Side: Racism & Covid-19

    Emotional talk with myself about trying to work side by side with others to create a connected community in the wake of recent events: the murder of George Floyd, the civil unrest in USA and UK protests. How do I, as a black mother, attempt to set an example for my children when I am in grief at the value placed on Black lives? I am sharing my thoughts, opinions and reflections as I try to parent and work, with vulnerable families, from a place of love despite trying to have my own healing.
