How Not to Screw Up Your Kids18 Dec 2025

The Reconnected: Transform Your Parenting in 20 Minutes a Week

Are you close to your children?

Do you still feel connected as they get older?

Do you spend as much time with them as you want?

I’m going to guess that you answered no to at least one of these questions. Am I right?

Today I am joined by Emma and Eleanor from The Reconnected, to discuss the importance of making time to connect with our children… and ourselves.

We talk about breathwork and why we all need to make time for ourselves, because if we can’t show up for ourselves, we won’t be able to show up for our kids.

We also discuss the challenges of raising kids in today’s world, where technology and screens can feel like barriers disconnecting us from our children.

And we talk about the confusing amount of information online, and why it’s almost impossible to get the right support if you don’t know where to look for it.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation, because this is a bumper seasonal episode to help you navigate the Christmas break with your kids…
