Bowers shares her journey from being a nursery nurse to becoming a family support worker, then transitioning to a performance coach, and finally founding her life coaching practice.

The discussion delves into the importance of communication, setting routines, handling challenging behaviors, and creating safe spaces for children. Bowers emphasizes the significance of listening to children, supporting their individuality, and not comparing oneself to other parents.
