Episode Synopsis

Ever feel like you’re going to turn inside out trying not to yell at your kid? Me too!This week’s listener question comes from Annalise, a solo mum trying her best not to lose it on the daily but also wondering if she’s the only one struggling to keep it under wraps in the no escape / no tap out reality of parenting alone.I talk about my experience of trying (and failing) to be a zero yelling mum and why the fantasy of stepping out of the room to scream into a pillow is completely unrealistic when you’re on your own and your kid is mid-meltdown.I also chat about bedtime stall tactics, boundary-holding exhaustion and the weird comfort of hearing your toddler parrot your worst moments back to you. Parenting’s fun, hey?This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present.EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Rachel CorbettEditing Assistance: Josh NewthLINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:Click here to submit a question to the showWant to start your own podcast?
