If you're in the position where you still have a parent, or both parents, alive and well - this episode poses the question - how well do you really know them? Not just as mum or dad - but as people, with their own stories, struggles and choices.
After losing his father, our guest on today's episode - Neil Taylor, realised something most of us avoid. He'd run out of time to ask his dad the things that truly mattered. Since then, he's dedicated his life to capturing parent's stories that would potentially be lost forever through his work - Me & My Old Man
This is a beautiful (and sometimes difficult) conversation about family, legacy and healing - and why making time is truly transformative.
We also want to acknowledge that some of you listening may have already lost a parent, so understandably this episode might feel a little raw and potentially reflective. So please listen with care and self compassion.

Today we’re tackling a tricky subject - separation after infidelity… 
This episode was inspired by a workshop we were asked to run for a corporate client on the subject, and despite the tough emotional angle, we were blown away by the engagement from participants, so we thought we’d share what we talked about here.
This isn’t about blame or picking apart what went wrong. It’s about recognising that when trust is broken, it doesn’t just affect the relationship - it shakes our sense of self, safety and reality.
You might be feeling everything right now… anger, confusion - perhaps even relief...or nothing at all. In this episode, we’ll try to help you make sense of what you’re feeling so you can start finding your footing again.
It’s not about having all the answers, but about being compassionate as you move along your own individual journey of healing.
We're by no means 'experts', but we have been through this ourselves - and coached many clients through their own separation challenges.
So we hope this episode helps you feel seen, heard and understood.

In this episode we’re joined by Casey Davidson, a life and sobriety coach from Seattle and host of the Hello Someday podcast. Casey helps high-achieving women who feel stuck in the cycle of trying to moderate their drinking take a step back through a 100-day alcohol-free challenge.

We talk about the myths around moderation, why midlife can be a turning point for many women’s relationship with alcohol, the social pressures around drinking, and why you don’t have to hit rock bottom to decide you want something different.
If you’ve ever been curious about what life without alcohol might look like - or wondered why it can feel so hard to change your habits - then take a listen.

If you’re in midlife and raising teenagers, you’ll know it can sometimes feel like you’re living with a complete stranger. 
One minute they’re the child who used to tell you everything… and the next they’re behind a closed door, headphones in and phone glued to their hand. It can leave even the most loving, well-meaning parent wondering: am I getting this right?

In this episode we’re joined by Dr Suzanne Simpson, who has spent years working with teenagers in educational and psychiatric settings. She shares powerful insights into what our teens really need from us right now - and it might not be what you think. 

We talk about why connection matters more than perfection, how curiosity builds trust, and why the small moments of presence between parent and child matter far more than any clever tools and techniques.

If you sometimes feel unsure how to reach your teenager, how to set boundaries around technology, or how to keep the lines of communication open… this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
