Welcome to Women in STEM, the podcast where we amplify the voices of women breaking barriers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I’m your host, Kelly Shungu, and in today’s episode, we’re taking a slightly different — but deeply important — perspective: the role of parenting in shaping the next generation of innovators, leaders, and changemakers.

Our guest is none other than Sue Atkins — a parenting powerhouse, regular expert on the BBC and ITV, best-selling author, consultant for Disney, and host of the Navigating the Digital Jungle podcast.

Together, we explore: ✨ Building confidence and resilience in children from an early age ✨ How play and imagination can spark problem-solving and creativity ✨ Helping kids form healthy digital habits in a tech-driven world ✨ Normalising representation and role models for young girls in STEM ✨ Reassuring parents who may feel doubt or guilt along their journey

This conversation is warm, inspiring, and full of practical insights for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about raising confident, curious, and resilient kids who can thrive in the future of STEM.
