Happy New Year and welcome to 2026.

I hope you had a gentle Christmas.
Ours was quietly extraordinary. I’ll come back to that.

But first, something new.

For years, parents have asked me questions in the margins of their lives – late-night emails, school corridors, quiet moments when the house is asleep and their mind won’t switch off.

They’re the whispered questions.

Why does this keep happening?
Why isn’t what I’m doing working?
How do I help my teenager without making things worse?

So I’m doing something different.

On Tuesday 20 January at 1pm, I’m hosting my first ever Live Empowered Parenting Q&A on Facebook.

This isn’t a talk.
It’s not a masterclass.
There are no slides and no script.

It’s me answering your real questions about your real family.

If things feel strained, bleak, or overwhelming right now, hear this clearly: what feels broken isn’t beyond repair.
