Parenting in a Pandemic
Parenting is hard. Parenting in a Pandemic is harder. Join Fi & Liz as they discuss everything mother related in their new Podcast - Parenting in a Pandemic. In our first weeks' discussion we explore why we started our support group in 2017, what we've learned and how this has changed as a consequence of Covid-19. We lead, peer to peer support that is non judgmental, honest and about you. The you that is tired, fed up and wishing your days away whilst grateful for the moments you have. We hear you and we are here for you.

Episode 1
For many of us, 2020 was a year of bubbles, zoom & online food shopping, but what about those who weren't able or didn't want to open up the doors any more than was possible.
Government guidelines strongly advised that clinically extremely vulnerable people should have stayed at home at all times, apart from going out to exercise or attend a medical appointment - but what was the reality of that for a young family?
We talk to Lucy, who shielded for most of 2020 to protect her family, especially her partner, who was clinically vulnerable. We discuss how she managed with her two young children with her partner working from home and no childcare; what implications there were financially for her family and how she is today.
