Episode notes
Don't Try To Do It Alone
- Do ask for help: you cannot be a working parent and do everything alone.
- Reach out to family, paid childcare, neighbours or friends and accept practical and emotional support.
Reassess Support After Every Transition
- Reassess your support needs at each life change and ask for different help accordingly.
- Treat support as a planned, changing resource: family, friends, mentors or paid help as needed.
Mum Moving In Changed Everything
- Tobi's mum moved in for two weeks after her first son was born and extended her stay when Tobi realised she needed ongoing support.
- That extra overnight chat felt like coaching and gave Tobi confidence to know help was available even when not physically present.
