Hey legend,

If you’ve ever looked at the world your kids are growing up in and thought… “How are they meant to thrive in this?” ...  this episode is your lifeline.

Screens. Social media. Meltdowns. Pressure. It’s a lot, and most of us are just trying to raise kind, confident humans without losing our minds (or our patience) in the process.

I’m six months pregnant, deeply curious, and joined by Dr Justin Coulson: co-host of Parental Guidance, author, researcher, and dad of six girls, to unpack what’s really going on behind modern parenting.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll get in this conversation:

• The heartbreaking moment that changed Justin’s life forever...get tissues.
• The truth about screens, social media, and gaming... and how it’s quietly stealing our kids’ focus, confidence, and connection.
• A simple 5-step process for handling big emotions (in little humans and grown ones) so you stop firefighting and start actually connecting.
• The three psychological needs every child must have met to thrive: connection, competence, autonomy. This framework changes everything.
• The line every child needs to hear most: How to say it... and still hold firm boundaries.
• The one after-dinner ritual that fast-tracks connection (and peace) at home. Steal it tonight.
• Why public speaking is a parenting superpower for the next generation:  and how to build it around your dinner table.

You’ll walk away with practical scripts for emotional moments, clarity on how to protect your kids from screen overwhelm, and a grounded confidence that you’re doing better than you think.

If this hits home, forward it to a parent who’s doing their best in a world that’s doing the most. They need this one, too.

With love (and a very wiggly bump),

B
