    Mindful Parenting & Growth Mindset: What Every Parent Needs to Know About Child Development

    What if the moments your child struggles, fails or falls apart are actually the moments their brain is growing the most? In this episode of Raw With J, I chat  with Alexandra Eidens, founder of Big Life Journal, the children's growth mindset journal that has reached over 2 million families worldwide. Alexandra is warm, wise and deeply passionate about raising children who believe in themselves, embrace mistakes and grow into confident, resilient human beings.

This conversation is warm, honest and full of practical tools you can use today. It is a reminder that you do not have to be a perfect parent to raise an incredible child.

    The Missing Link Between Setting Boundaries & Emotional Intelligence with Dr Chris Lee (Spoiler: It’s Nervous System Regulation)

    If you know what to do (set boundaries, stay calm, stop procrastinating) but cannot seem to do it, this is why. In this episode of Raw With J, Dr Chris Lee and I unpack why setting boundaries feels hard, why anxiety leads to avoidance, how phone addiction hijacks focus, and what actually builds mental resilience. We explore emotional intelligence through the lens of regulation, trauma responses, and the patterns we unknowingly pass down to our kids. This conversation moves beyond surface-level advice and into what genuinely changes behaviour, so you can respond with clarity instead of reacting from stress.

    Is Your Child Safe Online? What Parents Are Not Being Told About Roblox and Cyber Safety with Family IT Guy

    Most parents believe their children are safe online, or they look the other way because “it keeps them quiet”. The reality is far more confronting. ⚠️Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and sextortion. Please take care while listening and step away if you need to. In this episode of Raw With J, I sit down with Ben Gillenwater, The Family IT Guy, a former cybersecurity expert who has spent decades working with governments, defence organisations, and intelligence agencies, to unpack what is really happening online and why so many parents are being left in the dark. We talk openly about cyber safety for parents, the real internet safety risks for kids, and why platforms like Roblox and social media are far more dangerous than most families realise. Ben explains how children are targeted online, what sextortion actually looks like, and why bans and parental controls alone do not solve the problem. This conversation is not about fear or control. It is about awareness, education, and helping parents understand what they are up against so they can make informed decisions for their family.

    Welcome to RAW with J | Honest Conversations for Parents & Carers (Official Trailer)

    RAW With J is a podcast for parents and carers who are navigating the emotional reality of raising children while carrying their own unspoken struggles. Hosted by Jacintha (J), a family and child counsellor, mum, and founder of Happy Souls Kids, this podcast creates space for the conversations many parents need but rarely hear. The ones about burnout, emotional overwhelm, identity loss, loneliness, grief, and the pressure of holding everything together for everyone else. Each episode dives into the real experiences behind parenting and caregiving. J sits down with therapists, authors, and everyday humans who have lived through the hard seasons and are willing to speak honestly about what helped them survive and grow. Alongside these conversations, J also shares her own raw stories of breakdowns and breakthroughs shaped by solo parenting, heartbreak, and emotional exhaustion. This podcast is not about quick fixes, surface-level advice, or pretending everything is fine. It is about emotional well-being, mental health, connection, and truth. The kind of conversations that help parents feel seen, understood, and less alone. If you are looking for support with parenting stress, emotional regulation, family relationships, or mental health, or simply trying to make sense of the messier moments of life, RAW With J is here to meet you where you are. Because sometimes the truth you did not even know you needed is the one that sets you free.
