The "Magpie Parenting" Secret: How to Divorce Without Traumatising Your Kids | No Parental Guidance

from No Parental Guidance · host Hannah East & Louise Boyce

In our first-ever live episode of No Parental Guidance, we are joined by the powerhouse that is Anna Whitehouse (aka Mother Pukka). Anna isn't just a Sunday Times Bestselling author and journalist; she’s the woman changing the law for every parent in the UK. We go from the deeply personal to the politically powerful, covering: The Ultimate Parenting Fail: The story involving a toddler, a Beagle named Douglas, and a finger that left Anna speechless. Dating After Divorce: How Anna "completed" Hinge, dealt with "pedestal" guys, and found a blueprint of worthiness for her daughters. The "Geriatric" Myth: Having baby #3 at 43 and the reality of waters breaking right after a stage show. Flex Appeal: Why Anna is marching on Whitehall and how we can stop apologising for the "math not mathing" between school hours and work hours. Magpie Parenting: A raw look at navigating separation and telling the children. Whether you're struggling with the school WhatsApp group, feeling the "Motherhood Penalty" at work, or just need to know you're not the only one "flapping" through life, this episode is a maternal hug (and a much-needed reality check).
