This episode continues the theme looking at some hidden cost around what our children might carried beneath the surface.  “Children are always watching. Always listening.  The question is: what are they carrying from the environments we call home—our relationships, families, and circles of friends?” Listen as I think out loud. If you want to be part of the conversations reach out because the conversation is never over.Guest contact email- [email protected]@bevparenttalk

We praise the parent who “shows up.”But what about the one who never left? In this episode, I unpack some hidden costs behind co-parenting—the invisible labour that often goes unrecognised. This isn’t about blaming men or the absent parent.. It’s about naming patterns, setting boundaries, and telling a fuller story. If you’ve ever felt unseen in your parenting journey… this conversation is for you.Guest contact email- [email protected]@bevparenttalk

Join me in our final conversation with  Stephen as we explore beneath the surface when his world changed after the loss of his wife and left raising two young children.

I've had conversations with many parents along my journey—single parents, co-parents, and those in partnerships. One theme keeps coming up: the feeling of struggling alone. But why struggle alone? How can we shift this? How can we rewrite this narrative? Listen as I share experiences and practical steps to break this cycle. Maybe it’s time to #FindYourTribe and #MakeThatChange—because no one should have to do this alone. A single pebble creates ripples. Let’s drop that pebble together. Buckle up. The shift starts now.
