We are going to unpack all of this on G... more

  • Every parent needs this

    I listen to a lot of podcasts but this is the first I would describe as life-changing. I find it so soothing and validating. I highly recommend it to all parents, especially those who didn’t get the emotional support they needed in their childhood. Cath brings warmth, insight, intelligence, compassion, vulnerability and humour. It feels like listening to a wise, older sister and really complements the work I am doing in therapy to work through the impact of my own childhood. I am incredibly grat... more

  • Pure gold

    This is several orders of magnitude more useful, grounding and healing than any coach/self-dev/IG Thera-podcast I’ve heard. Helpful for anyone, really, but a lifeline for me as mom confronted regularly by my own stuff. Binging and taking notes….

I was initially ambivalent about having children, even after becoming a psychotherapist.
