This week we have the amazing Claire Andrews from Safe Hands Parenting back on the podcast with us to chat about what baggage we’ve brought into parenting. In this episode we break down ideas around childhood trauma and how this can unconsciously impact how we parent our children. Claire takes us through the questions we can ask ourselves, and discussions we can have with our partners or support team to make sure we’re raising our children in the way we want to, without being influenced by things we’d like to leave behind in our own past.  Claire is a mum, Maternal Child Health Nurse, and Midwife who started Safe Hands Parenting to cut through the noise of early parenthood. With her Thrive programs, you get real, evidence-based support that actually helps as you navigate life with a baby or toddler—because you deserve to feel seen, supported, and ready for anything.
