How did this podcast get to 20 episodes? It is nothing to do with me. Great guests and listeners is the answer. Thanks to all of you.  As I often say, if someone wants to take over presenting this podcast let me know and I will be glad to go back behind the scenes.  This episode is a compilation. It isn’t a ‘best of’ as that is individual choice, it is more of a taster for people new to the podcas...

I wanted to do some shows on how to cope with abuse and alienation. In recent episodes began that by discussing trauma and meditation. Today we talk about suicide and suicide prevention.  The websites findahelpline.com and www.suicide.org have links to helplines and suicide prevention links in many countries. Please take a look if you are suffering or suicidal or you are concerned for someone else...

Way back in episode 1 I mentioned that listeners could use the podcast to tell their own stories.  Some guests have done that and it would also be good for listeners, who want to share, to be able to. So, if you want to do that consider this episode an open invitation. Sharing our stories is powerful and increases awareness. I believe raising awareness is a key to change. As Mike Bell described in...

This is a change to the scheduled episode. I recorded this to mark the death last week of the great Burt Bacharach. RIP. We sometimes do offshoot episodes, such as our discussion of parenting and separation in movies. I wanted to discuss music and parenting today and talk briefly about a parenting story I read about Burt. I also briefly mention another of my musical heroes, Joni Mitchell.  We can...

Today we talk with Orsi, a meditation and yoga teacher about using them to help cope with trauma. There is lots of content out there but I want to discuss meditation and yoga in the context of parents going through hell and how it can help. Some parents may not have considered meditation due to lack of time or stress so, for our listeners, I wanted to raise it as a tool to try.  The family court i...

Episode 10 already. We have covered a lot of ground so I wanted to do a look back at play a few highlights from the shows. It isn’t a ‘best of’ as that would be individual choice.

OK let’s go...  Episode 1: was a welcome to the podcast. I spoke a a bit...

In this episode we speak with Mike Bell of the Family Court Reform Coalition. This episode was recorded in October and was originally due to be released on November 13. It was postponed for reasons explained in the episode 6 audio and show notes. Many people, including judges and MPs, have described flaws in the family law system. The flaws seem well known but they persist and harm parents and chi...

This short episode replaces the planned episode.  The other side raised the Fair Parenting Podcast in court this week but could not show anything improper. They also added more false allegations which were very upsetting.  The podcast release schedule is planned weeks ahead and today we were due to release an episode with the Family Court Reform Coalition. I have postponed it as this week’s events...
