Wouldn’t it be great if we, or at least our children, came with an instruction manual!

This podcast episode will help you to navigate through your journey as a parent, and will teach you how to support your children who may be suffering with their mental health, as well as help you to understand and allow you to make peace with your own parents' parenting.

Is there such a thing as the perfect parent? Do you carry guilt because you have to work, or don’t have the time or means to actually give your children what you wish you could? Or perhaps you worry that your mental health issues will negatively affect your children in the future?

Learn the psychology behind why children push boundaries, as well as simple bonding tips, how to help children struggling with anxiety issues, bullying, and exam stress; plus how to approach sensitive topics, including a parental addiction.

This episode explores the repercussions of low self-esteem, both as a parent and a child, plus the adverse effects of overprotective parenting, overbuying, and comparison.

Eva admits that she never wanted children, and Liv quizzes Nik on how he proposed (including exclusive details of Eva's vomit-covered acceptance).

Nik shares his Star Trek upbringing, and Hunter’s unintentional Darth Vader/Barry White impression creates a rather hilarious discussion.

If you were ever a child, have parents, or are a parent; this episode will really resonate.
