Ep 15: Cracking Jokes and Cracking On: Parenting with Catherine

This week we’re joined by Catherine, a wonderful lady who brings the laughs, the honesty, and a whole lot of heart. From hospital corridors to TikTok fame, Catherine talks candidly about raising her two boys, navigating medical parenthood, and finding light in the hardest moments. We talk about why she loved having a nanny, support, survival, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for a person is to just show up with biscuits. The jokes are quick, the laughter is loud, and yes, she did have to dash for the school run (because life doesn’t pause for a podcast)!
