Some topics need no explanation as they are a universal experience. We have all been betrayed and we have all betrayed, can we look ourselves in the mirror and stand tall with confidence with our reasons or can we adjust how we reacted or perhaps why we betrayed people we love?By Chix & Mum

Sometimes it's ok to give up. Anything that messes with your peace can be given up on. We just have to be ok knowing we have done our best, but most importantly we want to live a more fulfilling life with fewer stress triggers. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it. Thank you for supporting us…

For this episode we decided Chix would ask me some of the questions she used to struggle with. We hope that our open dialogue about some of these uncomfortable questions will help you and your family navigate this complex topic. She's 9, one of the questions is why not get back together ? The other question is was this the kids fault. Find out how …

This needs no explanation at all, I mean the fact is we will face more rejection in life than acceptance. We are better off learning how to handle rejection without personalising it. Some things are not meant for us and some people aren't meant for us either, it's alright. We want to be in a place were we are celebrated not tolerated.…

Dreaded word and verb and yet all of us know someone who has been through it or is going through it. So much harder when children are involved, it's hard to know what to do and when to do it. Guilt plays such a huge role in this, most of us feel alone in this journey because it is lonely. We hope this lets you know that you are not.…

We all have them, we are all entitled to them. We need to be okay sitting in our feelings and emotions especially the uncomfortable ones. One of the topics that's very long as this can be very challenging to discuss with young people. The way we validate our children's emotions determines their security with us. I sure hope this is an ice breaker i…

One of the hardest things to teach our beautiful children is self control. Kids are almost wired for immediate gratification which makes this particular subject hard for them to grasp. Even as adults we are still learning self control. This is part I of self control as we explore it from an adult's perspective and a child's We hope this opens the d…

So many of us struggle knowing if we are enough, what we need to do or say in order to be enough. For a long time I thought this was complex, but now know it's simple as being born. The day you entered this planet is the day you were enough, don't believe anybody who tells you otherwise. Stay true to who you are, be kind and loving to yourself. I h…

What happens when you let people violet your boundaries constantly without consequence? One of the most obvious symptom is burn out! next in line is resentment! Setting boundaries and following through is so important to our general well being, without that we twist ourselves into so many different shapes just to please everyone and end up loosing …

If you don't know who you are people will tell you who you are. Practice self love through setting boundaries and following through. It's not easy, but the more you do it the better you get at it. Sometimes you lose friendships by standing up for yourself, but that was never going to last. I hope this episode sparks a conversation within yourself.…

Where to begin with this topic? So many of us get caught up in what's considered 'normal' and the rest is cast aside. As humans we will always struggle with our insecurities and the key is to know what they are and try everyday to be accepting of them and continue to live our best lives. I don't believe we will ever rid ourselves of insecurities, b…

One of the most important topic of our times. At some point in my life as a child and as an adult I thought I was loosing my sanity, it was only during therapy that I learned about gas lighting. My brain and body took to it like a dove to water, I have never looked back. If there's one thing I can teach my children in this life is to know who they …

This is definitely a universal topic, no matter how old you are. We all find ourselves navigating friendships, starting new ones and sometimes loosing old ones. Its a beautiful dance that requires effortless and carefully calculated moves. We continue to grow as we learn more about who we are and why we do the things we do. I do my best to teach my…

The one topic every parents dreads. You don't want your child to be bullied, you don't also wish for them to be bullies. In this episode Chix and I discuss a few types of bullying and how to best handle them. We also dive deep into reasons why some children become bullies. For the first time Chix hears my story on how I was a bully in my early chil…

There's no hand book to parenting, these beautiful children get born, we are excited, we celebrate all mile stones! Then they start to walk, they start to run, they start to talk and we are all so overjoyed! As they begin to push back, talk back and cross boundaries, we start to panic a lot. There's no right way to parent, but there is a wrong way …

This is probably the hardest and yet inevitable topics we dread as parents. It's heart breaking to watch your children go through. Bullying is agressive, unkind/mean and it always has to be repeated behaviour. Our children need to be able to understand what that looks like and what to do when faced with bullying/uncomfortable situations. Chix and I…

Introduction to our podcast, we are proud of what we are putting together as mother and child. Come with us as we learn many lessons along the way, most importantly we hope you too can learn something from us. This is the first episode we recorded, we thought we might start by discussing technology, in particular messaging apps for children. These …

2023 Children have more access to technology than the generations before them. It's a beautiful thing, and yet if unmonitored can lend our kids in dangerous situations. In this episode my 9year old and I talk about one particular message she received from her friends. We dissect the message and the lessons learnt from that for both of us. I believe…
