Cressida Bonas Instagram – This week, we welcome philosopher, bestselling author and founder of The School of Life, Alain de Botton to the podcast 🎙️
Alain joins us to explore the multifaceted, often contradictory nature of parental love, the impact of our childhood experiences on adult relationships, and the importance of emotional communication in parenting.
We also delve into the complexities of expectations, communication and resilience in parenting, the desire to be a perfect parent rather than just a ‘good enough’ one, and how to nurture our children while also acknowledging their emotional and developmental needs.
We hope you take away as much from this conversation as we did. Thank you Alain for speaking to us and bringing so much wisdom and insight! 💖
