Is It Just Us?

This week, we’re talking about something that can very easily get lost somewhere between nappies, bedtimes, work and the never-ending to-do list- romance! We chat about what happens to your relationship when you become parents, why making time for each other can feel almost impossible, and the little things that can help you stay connected as a couple. Expect plenty of laughs, very honest confessions and a reminder that sometimes you have to actually make space for the relationship underneath all that parenting! We hope you enjoy and do let us know if you have any tips! :)

This week, we’re joined by the amazing Deirdre Holland Hannon, urotherapy expert, (follow her here) to talk about the toileting struggles so many families experience but don’t always talk about. From bedwetting and accidents to holding wee, withholding poo and constipation, Deirdre explains what might actually be going on and why these behaviours are so hard to navigate. We talk about what’s typical, when parents should seek support, and practical ways to take the pressure and shame out of toileting.
This was an absolute masterclass on this subject! We hope you get lots from it. Don't hesitate to reach out to Dee if you need support https://deirdrehollandhannon.com/

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the biggest questions parents have been asking us about ADHD- how do you know if what you’re seeing is actually ADHD or if it's part of typical development? We talk about attention, impulsivity, big emotions, movement and behaviour, why so many ADHD traits can also be completely normal at different ages, and when it might be worth looking a little closer. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Is this just their age, or is there something more going on?” this one is for you! We hope you find this episode helpful!

This week, we are delighted to be joined by Micheál Brennan aka Donegal Daddy (follow him here) for an honest conversation about fatherhood and parenting. He shares what led him to become a stay-at-home dad to his three children, the realities of being the parent at home, and his own experiences with ADHD and struggles with his mental health. We talk identity, parenting, the pressures dads can face, and what happens when family life doesn’t follow the traditional script! This conversation was truly inspiring and we hope you love it as much as we did!

We both recently went through an ADHD assessment and in this episode, we’re sharing the whole experience. What made us wonder about ADHD in the first place, what the assessment process was actually like, and, of course, what it brought up for us revealed in the end! We talk about the signs and traits we recognised in ourselves, the things that suddenly made a lot more sense, and how it feels to look at yourself through a completely different lens. We hope you enjoy!
