For The Love of Kids

By: Stephanie Jane Bennett
  • Summary

  • When you suddenly find that the centre of your universe is your child, your whole life shifts. Your days, your nights, your relationships, your behaviour and most noticeably yourself. It’s a pivotal moment of metamorphosis however subtle because your life simply won’t be the same again. So how do you navigate that? And if you’re not a parent how can you find ways to relate, support and keep hold of that person you knew before mother or fatherhood (who’s still very much there btw)? Join me and my guests as we share our experiences and try to figure this out… for the love of kids!

  • #E8: Step-parenting, the choices we make in parenthood, and how our childhoods shape our behaviour
    Apr 24 2024

    My TV choices these days are quite different to life before motherhood but I’ve always enjoyed a good Disney movie.


    Something that has always struck me though is how so many of these movies, and indeed fairytales of yesteryear, are based on the absence or loss of a parent and 'replaced' by a not so nice step parent coming in the scene.


    Maybe because things like divorce were not deemed acceptable or the fact that no one could ever replace a parent that was lost.


    Whatever the drivers are behind the messaging around step-parents, the narrative needs to shift. And I have just the person to prove that step-parents have such great intentions and care deeply about the children in their lives.


    Join me now as I speak with Chloe Foy, Behavioural Strategist, about her journey, the expectations and reality of becoming a non-biological parent in her thirties.

  • #E7: Raising a family, building a caffeine fuelled business and some seriously rad retro parenting.
    Apr 2 2024

    One of the biggest challenges for many of us who are parents is deciding how to structure the balance of raising our children while building and maintaining our careers.


    In this episode of For the Love of Kids I talk with Jim Cregan, a guy who has not only managed to build a brand and business from scratch - one that became a household name at that - whilst simultaneously becoming a father to a family of three.


    We chat about how his parenting and career were intertwined, the incredible role his wife played to make all of this possible and how his experience has helped him shaped his thinking when raising his children.


    I can’t wait for you to hear how about his incredible rad retro methods of teaching his kids to respect their youth, as well as the way that sunrises and other beautiful moments have featured in his role as dad.
