Ever wondered how to navigate the complexities of Christmas in a household with two different faiths? Join us, your hosts Katie and Afif , as we share a slice of our own life, blending our faiths during the Christmas season and even throwing a beloved Irish tradition into the mix. But that's not all, with Afif's glitter-phobia and our mutual love for the Late Late Toy Show, there's a lot to hear - and laugh about!We also dive deep into the world of parenting, from teething troubles to the emotional rollercoaster that motherhood can be. To help us unravel these complexities, we are joined by a special guest, a clinical psychologist, and holistic sleep coach Dr Emma Bagnall, who walks us through the realities of parenting, underlining the importance of self-regulation and support. From her personal experiences of the physical and emotional toll of a baby's cry to the struggle of balancing the needs of both her children, our guest paints an authentic picture of the joys and challenges of motherhood. The conversation takes a thought-provoking turn as we delve into the often overlooked journey of self-discovery and development that mothers go through during the early stages of motherhood. Our guest also sheds light on the concept of "Matrescence" likening the transition to motherhood to a new life stage similar to adolescence. The episode winds down on a note of optimism, offering valuable insights on navigating the challenges of parenting and fostering emotional development in children, not to forget tips for optimizing sleep for the whole family. So, whether you're a new parent, an experienced one, or simply curious about the world of parenting, this episode promises an engaging and insightful listen.
