In this episode of Made Possible by Parenthood, Charlie and Lindsay tackle the often contentious and confusing topic of screen time in our families. With the awareness that they are not experts but rather fellow parents navigating this modern challenge, they offer a space to reflect on our personal and familial relationships with screens, rather than dictating guidelines or engaging with the cacophony of expert opinions.
They delve into the feelings of fear, confusion, and the urge to seek validation in the face of overwhelming information and societal pressures. By sharing their own experiences and vulnerabilities, they encourage listeners to consider the unique dynamics of their families and to reclaim their authority as parents. This episode is not about finding the perfect screen time strategy, but about understanding our reactions and intentions, and fostering a family culture that aligns with our values and visions.
Join us as we step back from the noise, embrace our roles as guardians of our families, and explore what it means to co-create a balanced and conscious approach to technology. Pour yourself a cup of tea and dive into this rich conversation that invites you to trust in your own wisdom and the resilience of your family.

In this episode of Made Possible by Parenthood, Charlie and Lindsay invite listeners on a journey to redefine self-care, particularly within the realm of parenting. Shifting away from the conventional narrative that often feels like an added pressure, they explore the essence of what self-care truly means and how it can sometimes lead to a sense of depletion rather than rejuvenation.
With candid reflections, they challenge the notion of self-care as a solitary task, emphasizing the importance of relationships and community in our wellbeing. They ponder the transformative potential of viewing self-care not as isolated acts but as ongoing practices that align with our deepest yearnings and needs.
Through personal stories and thought-provoking questions, this episode beckons us to let go of societal expectations and embrace a more personalized, resourceful approach to caring for ourselves. It's an invitation to consider what truly nourishes us—beyond the surface-level solutions—and to courageously embrace the practices that offer genuine sustenance and connection.
So, pour a cup of your favorite tea, settle in, and join us on a path to discovering a more authentic, fulfilling form of self-care that resonates with who you are, both as a parent and as an individual. It's time to reimagine self-care and embrace the possibilities that lie within.

In this thought-provoking episode, Charlie and Lindsay tackle the elusive concept of balance in parenthood.

This episode is a call to action for parents to let go of the impossible and step into the wild, unwritten possibilities of life and family.

In this episode we explore the fairly new concept of "Matrescence". We sense into the term itself and our own relationships to it. We also wonder into what it makes possible for us! We bring our performer and guardian imagery to this term and explore the stories we tell ourselves about what it is like to transition into motherhood.

It seems that more & more of us are experiencing burnout. Recent UK statistics show that 93% of parents are burnt out.
This can be scary to realise the experience of ‘burnout’ and as parents it can be hard to deeply recognise.
But what happens if first we say YES IT’S OK! - doesn't it make sense in this 21st century way of parenting many of us are burning out.
And then what would it be like if we deeply & compassionately welcomed it, breathe there for a moment first….
Then maybe we can see it as a sign, a clever way our system is saying ‘please listen to me’.
What rest, recovery and healing might be possible from this place…
