In this powerful and practical episode, I’m joined by the phenomenal Dr Maryhan Munt, globally recognised Psychologist, top-charting podcaster, speaker, and parenting expert.
You may know Dr Maryhan from her hit podcast How Not to Screw Up Your Kids, named one of The Guardian’s Top 5 Parenting Podcasts and downloaded in over 60 countries. Her straight-talking, non-judgemental style has made her a go-to for parents, educators, and organisations looking for real-world advice that actually works.
As a parent and professional myself, I’ve often found comfort and clarity in her words, especially during those frantic school runs or “Am I doing enough?” moments. In this conversation, Dr Maryhan brings her signature wisdom and warmth to some of the biggest challenges working parents face.
Together, we unpack:
-
How to navigate the guilt tug-of-war between work and home
-
Practical tools to stay calm (yes, even during the morning chaos)
-
Why kids sometimes just don’t listen, and what to do instead
-
Her powerful response to recent claims that daycare is “damaging”
-
Meaningful ways to connect with your children in a screen-filled, time-poor world
-
How to reset from burnout without overhauling your life
-
What workplaces can do to truly support working parents
-
And, how we can start redefining real success as professionals and parents
This episode is full of relatable, actionable insights for leaders, HR teams, and any working parent trying to do their best in two big worlds.
So whether you’re walking, working, or juggling kids this one’s for you. A dose of positive noise, straight from the expert who’s helped so many of us feel seen, understood, and empowered.
