Double Strength Mama Power

By: Stuff Audio
  • Summary

  • Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in life; whether you have a little one yourself or you're coping with an adult child welcoming their first small human into the world. So we're putting together two mums who'll talk about all things parenting with the wisdom born from being at different stages of the child rearing process. Presenter Suzy Cato - storyteller, friend and musical muse to countless New Zealand children - is keen to share the lessons she's learned on her parent journey so far as her own two children become teenagers. She’s teaming up with parent blogger and yoga teacher Tui Fleming, who’s right in the thick of bringing up her littlies and looking to soak up any good advice about how to live her best parenting life. Together they'll be talking to some of New Zealand’s well known mums and dads (Clarke Gayford, Jessie and Victoria Mulligan, Michele A’Court) and comparing notes with the experts (parenting guru Emily Writes and neuroscientist Nathan Wallis). This is about parenting with love, humour and plenty of reassurance, with other parents who're doing the hard yards!
