Not Another Mummy Podcast

I’m joined on this special episode by two guests to discuss a topic that’s very much part of the national conversation right now - keeping teens safe online.


Valiant Richey is Global Head of Outreach and Partnerships, Trust and Safety at TikTok in Dublin and Dr Kirren Schnack is a clinical psychologist and author of Ten Times Calmer - Beat Anxiety and Change your Life and a content creator. Both are parents of teens and so really understand the need to keep teens safe online


We discuss how to help your teens develop healthy screen habits, what digital wellbeing is (and how healthy your own might be never mind your kids').


This episode is packed full of wise advice and loads of info about the new safety features rolled out by TikTok recently, making it easier for parents and teens to have conversations about staying safe online, with new ways for parents to understand how their teen is using TikTok, and understand if they’re coming across content they are concerned about.


For more information, head to the TikTok Safety Centre.

Emma Barnett: Why maternity leave should be rebranded as maternity service

Quick note about this episode before I introduce it - the audio quality isn't up to the usual standard. I've done what I can to improve it, and hopefully it doesn't take away from the importance and brilliance of the conversation. That said...


My guest on this episode is the fantastic Emma Barnett. Emma is a presenter and journalist, currently on BBC Radio 4's Today programme and formerly presenter of Woman's Hour.


Emma joins me to discuss her new book Maternity Service: A Love Letter to Mothers from the Front Line of Maternity Leave which looks at what maternity leave is really like for millions of new mums.


Emma talks about her own experiences from her two 'tours of duty' and questions why it's called maternity leave which it involves no actual leave...
