Identity Shift | Parents discuss rediscovering yourself after having children

Don't wake the baby!

Is being a mum or a dad your only identity? Exploring how we change as people in parenthood. This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat about past hobbies, things we've lost along the way, adapting to struggles & the relentless busy stress of life, finding time for ourselves, taking up new hobbies, accepting things are different, and the spirituality of parenting. Some deep honesty and fun stories... discussing the positives and negatives. Particularly referencing our recent holidays: a week in the South of France with Emma's sisters, and a weekend in a cabin by a lake in the UK for Elliot's 30th birthday (pictures on our Instagram!)

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.
A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity.
We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part
