Sport is big business in Australia with over 69% of children playing sport and $2.3 billion spent in the field every year. Nathan Parnham is an elite sports professional as well as a new father and a qualified teacher. He has over 17 years’ experience working as a strength and conditioning coach and has worked for some of the biggest teams in the NRL, as well as with the Australian rugby women’s 7 team.

More importantly Nathan is one of only three coaches in Australia who has worked across both genders.

Nathan shares his valuable insights about children’s sport in a unique new book, called THE SPORTING PARENT.

The book aims to assist parents in navigating the confusing world of kids sport including how to choose the best sport for your child, options for professional pathways, the importance of physical literacy, and includes rare insights from some well-known professional athletes.

In this interview I ask Nathan all about children's sport, movement and how to keep our kids involved in sport for life.

Raised by her grandmother after her mother passed away when she was five, award winning comedian Jenny Wynter soon discovered humour as a form of pain relief during her early childhood.

In 2004, her life as mother of two kids under the age of two propelled her to leap into the world of stand-up comedy. A few months later Jenny was awarded the Brisbane, Lord Mayor’s Fellowship for New and Emerging Artists and found herself en route to USA for intensive comedy training - and an experience that would change the course of her life!

Fifteen years later, Jenny Wynter is now a well-known Aussie comedian who recently completed the first live tour across Queensland post COVID-19! The FUNNY MUMMIES COMEDY GALA. The tour coincided with the release of Jenny’s new memoir, FUNNY MUMMY which shares a highly personal account of Jenny’s life as she navigates grief, divorce, unplanned parenthood and her bipolar 2 disorder.

I caught up with Jenny to ask her about parenting, COVID and laughter as medicine. Take a listen.
