    Family

    As we enter the end of year festive season this very last episode of the first season of our podcast series discusses the 'family'. Love them or hate them, our family remains the single most important influence in our lives – especially in the early years. But as we all know, it’s not all rosy, and it’s this time of year that everything related to our family experience rushes to the surface. It makes for a happy time for many and a challenging time for others. Who better to help us navigate our family dynamics than the wonderful Jane Enter.

    Parenting

    In this episode we discuss parenting – without judgement. There’s so much pressure to be the ‘perfect parent’ and very few appear to come through the experience without some guilt that we didn’t quite live up to society’s high expectations. This is especially the case when inevitable challenges arise in the lives of our children. We cut through the stigmas, fads and different approaches to get to the core of what constitutes healthy parenting.
