Welcome to Friday’s Child – The podcast on a mission to educate, empower and support you on your parenting journey. I’m your host, Peta, a British expat who’s been living in Dubai for 10 years and first time Mama to my gorgeous little girl Mavia. Each episode, I’ll be speaking with a different incredible guest from Childbirth Educators, Parenting Coaches, Infant Sleep Specialists, Weaning Experts, Entrepreneurs and more, and we’ll be discussing all areas of parenting and beyond. Welcome to our final episode of 2021 and what a guest I have for you today. I first heard this amazing woman speak on one of my favourite podcasts Made by Mamas on an episode all about ‘Putting Yourself First’ so to be introducing her on my own podcast is a major pinch me moment. Caroline Britton is a Psychic Coach, Mentor & Healer who’s been featured in numerous international publications such as GQ, The Telegraph and Forbes. To speak to Caroline really was a dream come true and this conversation impacted me on so many levels and I can’t wait to share it with you.
