    I began my parenting journey in NZ as I am a Kiwi - back then I’de listen on a radio to this show. Having lived in Aus for over 10 years now though I find I keep coming back to this via poadcast. So thankful I can continue to listen, and I just love Kathryn, her interviews. So much insight, wisdom and guidance in the parenting journey 🙏 also some comfort in hearing kiwi accents I think haha
