With a background in PR and marketing, Janika has been telling stories for decades. The birth of her second child was both traumatic, and transformative - forcing her and her husband to reassess everything, and choose a different kind of life. She now uses this experience to help others harness the power of their own stories as a catalyst for positive change. I hope you're as inspired by Janika's story as I was, and use it as a starting point to start asking yourselves the right questions about the life you want for yourself and your family!You can listen to Just You, Janika's podcast here, and follow her work at her website.

If you missed Season 2 Episode 3 with Dr. Shefali - or even if you just listened to it and forgot what we discussed, here's an AMAZING little snippet that has really changed the way I think about how I parent. The idea that our children are born full of joy and wonder, already whole and complete is something we inherently know to be true...so why do we try so hard to improve them? Is it more about US? Eek!

“Being human is not hard because you're doing it wrong it's hard because you're doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was every supposed to be easy.” - Glennon Doyle'Mindful Mama' is my gift to you.

I still can't believe we've been parents for an entire year, but here we are. In this episode I am joined by my partner in crime and parenthood, Adrian. We answer your (fantastic) questions about our experience over the past year and get honest about some of the tougher moments. I also cry 13 times which will be absolutely unsurprising to anybody that knows me. From sleep to sex to self doubt, it's a roller coaster so strap in baby! x Hosted on Acast.
