    Recap of Parenting with Papa

    In this week’s episode I attempt to condense the 4-part conversation on parenting with Papa. It was brilliant to sit with him and learn so much, not just about our family but gaining a better perspective of why he was the kind of father he was. I certainly wanted more growing up but I have a deeper understanding he simply didn’t know how. Let’s give our parents a little break, talk to them and hopefully some of the scars may heal. I also briefly touch on the kind of summer I think I’m going to have with my teenager. I cannot implore you enough to check out Better Parenting Practitioner Britta who I think you’ll all love.

    Final Part: Parenting : A Generation Before

    In this final part episode, I posed the question of the impact on our mental health from all of that harsh and corporal discipline. To be honest, Papa threw me on this one and I still haven’t gotten my head around it. That is because he had a very different take on it and you’ll see from my reaction, I honestly wasn’t expecting that!! I’m uncertain I can wholeheartedly say I can relate to it but I can understand, accept and learn from his lived experience and point of view. ✔️ looking at the positives of discipline and its impact Should one hold on to what we may refer to as scars? It’s difficult to contend with when you’re left with scars from some of the discipline but should we hold on to them for life? If we do, should they spur us on, require us o do differently as largely suggested by Papa or hold us back? Are we overthinking mental health and perhaps aiding a generation of cocky, inhumane and indisciplined children? These are just some of the questions I’m left with and had me thinking deeply about lived experiences and parenting. In the next season, we will broach it with an up-and-coming Better Parenting Practitioner whom I think you’ll all love. Enjoy. Remember to Love, Comment, and Share.

    Parenting : A Generation Before - Part 3

    In this episode Papa and I go into some dreaded stuff: ✔️ the impact of screaming and shouting. Corporal punishment was hurtful and not as helpful as they thought. ✔️ how the short list of professions came about and was furiously protected - back in the day it was doctor, lawyer, engineer and anything else short of these and in this category of professions was a shame to the family. Status and maintaining a family tradition was a strong driver. How has that changed? Why we should keep today's focus on individual strengths and nurture children to be at their best. Enjoy.

    Reflections - Infertlity and The IVF Process

    In this episode, I reflect on the last two episodes in conversation with Eyram. The messages and conversations received in the last two weeks around this topic of infertility and IVF have deeply troubled my soul. Women out there are struggling. Don’t do it alone.  I needed that time to reflect, make the ‘altar call’ for other women to share and hope we all find the courage to end the stigma around IVF, keep the faith and hope for that joy in the end.
