Unveiling the truth about working parenthood

Lily Allen’s quip that her children ‘ruined’ her career has ignited a flurry of headlines.

When invited by Good Morning Britain to weigh in, I found their hunger for a ‘polarising’ view troubling. Working parenthood is all about nuance: personal choice, money and support systems.

Rather than join a staged on-air dispute (yes of course they concocted a huge row), I’ve expressed my thoughts in the vlog—no holds barred. 💢

On a very different topic, I’ve highlighted a podcast that’s essential listening. And worth playing to any tweens or teens in your life with a worrying appetite for risk and/or sugar 🩻

Next week, I’ll tackle ‘The Father of All Battles: Balancing Work, Life, and Happiness’ with (as promised this week) reference to Cal Newport’s new book.

Join the conversation and let’s explore this together.

Wishing you a very peaceful week.
