A messy or cluttered space around us can have a very real impact our levels of stress and anxiety. Too much 'stuff' around us is distracting and taxes our brain in ways that can reduce our ability to focus, think properly and function well. We can end up feeling completely overwhelmed and find it really hard to know where to start.

In this fascinating conversation, psychologist Dr Erika Penny helps us understand why we feel the way we do when surrounded by mess and clutter, how it affects us and, importantly, strategies for tackling mess that help even the busiest among us!

Are you 'good with money'? If you're not you need to know two things. Firstly, you are not alone. Secondly, this episode will put you on a path to changing the way you think about money, feel about spending, act upon saving, being more intentional about where your hard-earned money goes - and finally change the way you feel about all of it. All thanks to this week's guest Emma Edwards, author of 'Good with Money; Reprogram your spending habits and take control of your money'.

There is no shortage of accessible information, advice, and strategies for us parents, but it can all get a bit much. When seeking answers about how to handle a particular challenge, when anxiety shows up, or how we can build resilience, we can be left more confused than we were before we turned to friends, family, Google, or Chat GPT for help. Sometimes, we need to zoom out and look at things from a different perspective.

This week's guest, Child Psychologist Clare Rowe, helps us do just that, reminding us that our role as parents is to 'turn out a fully functioning, independent human being'. We can all lose sight of this in the day-to-day mayhem of family life. Clare shares so many pearls of wisdom in this episode relating to anxiety, resilience, distress, emotional regulation, consequences and creating daily opportunities for independence.
