Imagine living with a life threatening illness, or any illness that impacts your ability to work, to parent, to do all the things you love to do.
This week I chat with my friend Nicola Wall, who lives through the emotional and physical battles of having Cystic Fibrosis. She's open and honest about the challenges and experiences as well as the life changes they have chosen to make.
It's emotional, it's insightful and I'm humbled by her honesty.

Whatever age your children are they'll have tests and exams either now or on the road ahead. Author, Tim Benton coaches students on the stresses, strategies and systems of learning.
He's worth it just for the laughs - and for the rendition of his Henry VIII revision piece.
He's wise, he's funny and his strategies got one of mine through his GCSEs and now we're using them again for A Levels.

This week I'm chatting to a Mum who has spent the COVID season on the front line in ED (A&E). She reflects on nearly 30 years of parenting -
What was good?
What she'd change
And what's it's been like working as a nurse practitioner through this tough season.
Today's chat is full of pearls of wisdom and great stories. Philippa Nash is one of my go-to people and I'm so thrilled to introduce you to her.

How do you give your children attention and necessities whilst being a working mum?
I chat to Cat Metcalfe about her journey from working in a corporation before kids through to having three kids and a home business. I enjoyed hearing the process of working out what business to set up by considering her skill set and what motivated her.
It's also really interesting to hear how she applies values to their family life.

Here's a fantastic tool for parents...a way to understand which of the five voices each child leads with. It's an insightful way of understanding what stresses them and what energises them. This really explains why our children behave in certain ways and what will help them to flourish. It's fascinating.

April Fools Day!
And we, the courageous kids have hijacked her podcast. Mum loves a practical joke and we wonder how long it will be before she realises she's been played - we've pushed this week's podcast on by a week and slipped our own in, with the help of that reliable rogue, David Baker. And spilled the beans on the courageous life!
