I've worked as a BBC Correspondent, a World News Anchor for CNBC Europe and a Parenting Supercoach for Parent Gym, supporting parents in the most deprived boroughs of London.

I'm the mother of two bonus-daughters, now in their twenties, two teenagers, and married to the most amazing, but messy, man. I live in a Tudor house in the UK countryside, walk my two cockapoos daily and read voraciously.

My main purpose in making this podcast is my desire to break negative family cycles so I can understand and parent my own teens better.

I'm a lover of yoga, jogging, hiking, skiing, flying, reading, music, and all types of adventurous travel.

Originally born in Zambia, I'd lived in six different countries by the age of ten and thank my lucky stars to have settled in the UK.

Most of all I am loving the opportunity to give back for all the good fortune I've had in my life.
