  69. When Everything Feels Urgent

  Sep 22, 202612 min

  It was 8:21am, nine minutes to leave for school, and a six-year-old refusing to get dressed. Nina shares what really happened that morning, including the bit that didn't go smoothly, and the one question that helped her figure out what actually needed her attention first. You'll Learn Why noticing what's happening in your body matters before you react How to spot the competing needs pulling at you in the same moment The simple question to ask when several things need you at once Why "getting it all right" isn't the goal on a hard morning How to make peace with the thing you didn't get to do Why This Episode Matters Parenting rarely hands you one thing to deal with at a time. It's the school run and the tired child and the thing you really wanted to see and your own rising frustration, all landing at once - and there isn't always a way to meet every need. This episode is for the moments when you don't know which one to choose first, and it's a reminder that simply noticing what's happening is enough of a place to start. Small Shift for Big Impact This week's small shift: when several things need you at once, pause and ask yourself, "What needs my attention most right now?" You don't have to solve the whole moment or get everything right. Just notice what's actually in front of you first, whether that's your own rising tension, your child's tiredness, or something as simple as breakfast, and start there.

  68. Same Problem? Four Parents, Four Different Reasons

  Sep 15, 202614 min

  If you've ever wondered why the parenting advice that worked for your friend doesn't seem to work for you, this episode is for you. Nina walks through four different parents who could all say the same thing, "my kid won't listen," and shows why what's actually going on underneath looks completely different for each of them. You'll Learn: Why the same parenting complaint can come from four completely different places The patterns Nina kept hearing after one-on-one conversations with over twenty parents How to tell if you're already at your limit before the moment even starts Why some strategies don't land because they don't fit your specific child How to interrupt the guilt spiral that follows a hard parenting moment A simple question to ask yourself after a tough moment this week Why This Episode Matters: If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and it still isn't working, you're not alone in that. This episode doesn't hand you another strategy to add to the list - it slows down long enough to ask what's actually happening for you specifically, because the parent who's running on empty needs something different to the parent who's carrying guilt, and both are valid. It's a genuinely useful reset if you've been feeling like you're failing at something everyone else seems to have figured out. Small Shift for Big Impact: This week's small shift: think of one parenting moment from the last few days that didn't go how you wanted, and ask yourself one question... W hat was making that moment hard for me? Not how do I fix it , just what was actually going on. You might notice you were already at your limit, or genuinely didn't know what to try with your child, or you're still carrying guilt about the bits that weren't perfect. You don't need an answer straight away, just start noticing.

  67. Exercise After Kids? with Jen Dugard

  Sep 8, 202631 min

  Jen Dugard, founder of MumSafe Movement, joins Nina to talk about what really happens to our bodies after having kids, and why exercise isn't about getting your old body back. They talk pelvic floor health and moving for strength, not appearance. You'll Learn: Why postpartum isn't a 12 month window, it's the rest of her life What a good trainer should ask before you start training with them Why "just do what feels right" isn't safe advice for your pelvic floor The shift from wanting your body "back" to training for strength Simple habits to start at home, no gym required Why it's never too late to start moving again Why This Episode Matters: So many of us push our own bodies to the bottom of the list. This episode is a reminder that your body deserves care too, and that looking after it is part of how you show up calm for your kids. Small Shift for Big Impact: Jen's small shift: start a conversation with another mum about something you've been keeping to yourself because you think it's not normal - leaking, pelvic pain, or just not feeling right. Naming it is often the first step to getting support.

  66. Bringing Wonder and Calm to Bedtimes with Dr Mark Westmoquette

  Sep 1, 202626 min

  What if the fix for bedtime battles wasn't a new routine, but simply opening the curtains? Nina sits down with astrophysicist-turned-mindfulness-teacher Dr. Mark Westmoquette, author of Look Up At Bedtime , to explore how a few minutes under the night sky can turn a nightly fight into a moment of genuine connection. You'll Learn Why sharing wonder calms bedtime faster than rushing it A simple gravity practice to try in bed tonight Why you don't need to know constellations to stargaze How opening the curtains turns bedtime into connection A loving kindness practice using the moon or stars Why kids are often more present than we realise Why This Episode Matters If bedtime in your house feels more like a countdown to lights out than a wind-down, this conversation offers a different way in. Dr Mark's approach doesn't ask you to do more, just to look up together and let curiosity do the rest. A genuinely lovely reminder that connection can be simple. Small Shift for Big Impact Mark's small shift: shared wonder. You don't need to know more than your child about what you're looking at, or feel like you need all the answers before you explore. Open the curtains and be curious together, rather than the expert - coming alongside your child instead of standing above them.
