In this episode, I’m joined by somatic therapist Charlotte Mindel to talk about why being a more present parent is not just about trying harder.


We explore what really pulls us out of the moment, how stress and stored tension live in the body, why motherhood can bring so much to the surface, and what it means to come back to yourself.


If you’ve ever felt distracted, agitated, emotionally elsewhere or guilty that you cannot fully switch off with your child, this conversation will help you feel understood.
