In a digital world overflowing with conflicting parenting advice, The Mum Mind Podcast offers a breath of fresh air.
Hosted by former radio DJ, pre-school educator and mum-of-two Stef McSherry, the podcast is the antidote to the judgment, pressure, and confusion that many parents face online.
Blending humour, heartfelt honesty, expert insight, and real-life stories, Stef answers listener questions and interviews professionals across psychology, education, and healthcare to bring clarity to the chaos of raising children. From sleep struggles and toddler tantrums to self-harm, parental guilt and screen use, no topic is off limits.
“I want parents to know they’re not alone and there’s no such thing as a perfect parent,” says host Stef McSherry.
Stef McSherry is a mum of 2 and a pre-school activity and behaviour specialist. Stef is also the creator of the award - winning, multi - activity programme Kinderama. If you're looking for active classes for your pre-schooler in school, at events or online, check out Kinderama here www.kinderama.com.
