The good the bad and your parenting journey 's Podcast
I had a very high risk pregnancy and premature baby in 2023. Being a parent is tough!
I know that I wouldn’t have been able to get through it without a community behind me. People say that you need a village I think that’s crap, you actually need a town. Everybody has their own parenting journey and one is not more valid than the other.
Im here to help you realise that you’re not on your own.
Let’s build a community, and who knows, we could even build a city and supporting parents.
