Just Winging It

When Clare and I discussed the idea of her coming onto the podcast I have to admit I was a little nervous. I’ve been able to relate in some way or another to all of my other guests but with Clare, I couldn’t. No one can ever prepare you for child loss so how the hell do you move on? Well Clare had no choice. Finding out she was pregnant weeks after suddenly losing her youngest daughter was a huge...

This episode was such a joy to record, I actually forgot we were recording! I've never met Cat before so it was lovely to chat to her about parenting especially as she works in the same industry. Cat's little boy is only 3 but she’s already overcome some huge challenges in her short stint at parenting. Finding out she was pregnant on the day Boris announced lockdown was one of the happiest and wor...

During our chat, Luke shared some of his dearest and funniest moments about becoming a father, and accepting that it was actually ha...

Danny is a bit of a local celebrity so I had to get him on the podcast. Him and his wife, are the true picture of winging parenting. Both working whilst at the same time bringing up their now 6 year old Imogen who has global development delay. During our chat I challenged Danny on mum guilt, being the only dad at toddler groups and I asked him for some guidance on raising a child with special need...

As a single mum and business owner, Annabel really does know how to 'wing it'. Annabel was more than ready for her baby girl, but she wasn't prepared for her premature arrival. She tells us all about that experience and good old 'mum guilt' makes an appearance. Knowing Annabel, I expected some good answers, and I wasn't wrong. For the record if I ever get stuck on a dessert...
