What happens when the person you once built a life with becomes the person you are divorcing and have to protect your children from both emotionally and psychologically and even energetically.

When co-parenting isn't possible, when every exchange feels like a minefield, we are told to "parallel parent". But what does that mean and what does it actually look like when you're dealing with a high conflict personality disordered ex? And how do you stop your children for carrying the emotional cuts and bruises that come with that territory?

Joining host Jennie on this weeks episode is psychotherapist, mediator, CEO of Psyched Ventures and the Author of 'Mt Parent the Peacock', Kathleen Saxton.

Together they talk about the hidden emotional toll of parenting alongside someone who thrives in conflict, how to protect your children's sense of safety and self and what really happens to kids who grow up with a personality disordered parent.

This isn't an easy conversation. But it is an essential one!

In this episode, we dive into one of the most talked about topics in health and well being right now - GLP 1s.

You've probably heard the names Mounjaro and Ozempic - but what do they REALLY do? What are the myths, and what are the genuine mental and physical benefits behind them.

Joining host Jennie to help make sense of it all is Dr. Andre Brittain-Dissont. He has 3 decades of medical experience as a GP, Premier Sports Physician, Occupational Physician, and advanced aesthetics practitioner. Today we are asking: What's fact, what's fiction and what do these so called "miracle injections" really mean for our bodies and minds?

Approximately 1 in 1000 women experience postpartum psychosis. It's a condition that remains largely hidden. rarely openly talked about and is veiled in silence and shame.

Joining host Jennie on this weeks episode is Sarah Berry-Valentine. She was that ONE out of 1000. Sarah bravely allows us in to her deeply personal experience with postpartum psychosis following the birth of her first child.

Sarah was recently featured in Glamour UK telling her story and has been candidly using her voice to raise awareness, offer hope and understanding, and advocate for better support for women. Her story is raw and powerful and SO needed in a world ( and a social media world filled with influencer mums) that often romanticise motherhood, whilst ignoring its most vulnerable moments.
