Today (Tuesday 8th March) is International Women's Day and in honour of this important day, I wanted to talk in this episode about the most inspiring of all women and that is our own daughters - the next generation of women who will make a big impact on this world!

What can we learn from our daughters? I think the answer is quite a lot!

In today's episode, we discuss all things appearance and image! We chat about our own hang-ups and insecurities and what messages we want to be passing on to our children. We also go down a funny little rabbit hole reminiscing about some of our questionable fashion choices from our teen years - pastel suit jackets from Select, anyone else?!?

at 8:52 I reference a brilliant interview with the fabulous Brene Brown on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast. You can listen to that here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s13-ep1-how-to-fail-bren%C3%A9-brown/id1407451189?i=1000547612407

Welcome back to another quick  'Coffee Catch-up' - a weekly thought from one Mum to another! A 5 minute episode to listen to whilst downing your coffee before the baby wakes up, or you have to start work or head out on the school run!

This episode is all about trying to be committed and consistent if you set an intention to do something! But also, and probably most importantly, being kind to yourself when you slip up!! We are all going to make mistakes, forget things, slip-up in some way and we can beat ourselves up about it and give up on the thing we were trying to do or we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and try again!

This episode was inspired by the ramblings of my own mind as we prepare for the change in Covid regulations here in England. In a couple of days' time there will no longer be a legal requirement to isolate if you have covid. Whilst I am pleased with moving in the right direction to 'living with covid', I wonder if we are simply replacing a legal issue with a moral dilemma and, if so, which is the easiest to navigate?!?

Today's episode was recorded during the February half term holiday. We discuss how we juggle childcare, keeping the kids entertained, working, getting stuff done in the house and even, maybe, finding some time to ourselves too!! We chat about how crazy busy places can be in half term and the misery that was half-term holidays during lockdown!!

At the start of this episode you will hear us reference a couple of our previous episodes - "They Don't Eat The Sandwiches!": https://www.buzzsprout.com/1848754/9384357 and "The Accidental Dance Mums": https://www.buzzsprout.com/1848754/9919536

Welcome back to another quick  'Coffee Catch-up' - a weekly thought from one Mum to another! A 5 minute episode to listen to whilst downing your coffee before the baby wakes up, or you have to start work or head out on the school run!

In this episode I talk about whether it's ok to share our negative emotions with our kids. Our natural instinct as a parent is to protect our kids from harm and hurt and to try to keep them happy but are we actually doing them a disservice with this??

This episode was inspired after my trip to the cinema to see the incredible new Belfast film. If you haven't seen it, here's the trailer. I highly, highly recommend it.

I also mention this incredible quote from Philippa Perry: "When we just want the kids to be happy, we put unnecessary and added pressure on them. We need to support our children in all their feelings. it's a hard one to take on board because our inclination is to fix what's hurting. yet the best fix of all is to keep our kids company in whatever they are going through. Then when they are anything other than happy, they don't feel they're failing." If this resonates with you, then I really recommend you check out Perry's incredible book: The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and your children will be glad that you did!)

Welcome back to another quick  'Coffee Catch-up' - a weekly thought from one Mum to another! A 5 minute episode to listen to whilst downing your coffee before the baby wakes up, or you have to start work or head out on the school run!

In this episode I talk about when our kids' busy schedules threaten to take-over our own lives and what we can do to prevent this whilst still allowing our children to have all the opportunities that we want them to have.

As an example of how busy the kids' lives can be, I mention the dance festivals that my daughter takes part in! We talk about these in lots of detail in our latest full-length episode: The Accidental Dance Mums!
