Too much to do? Here’s how to cope... with Safia Rana-Jaswal

Safia told us all about her company The Mum Hub which she founded in Lockdown, her family and what else she has done and is doing in her career. We also discussed: 

  • Time management for parents and the common things parents experience for example feeling they are having to be in too many places at once! 
  • Having a to do list / a priority list and putting things on paper. E.g. what are the top 3 things that I have to focus on?  
  • Planning and not feeling like you have to ‘do it all’.  Lowering expectations of yourself. 
  • Walking pads! 
  • Some techniques / tools to help manage time as well as setting boundaries - how available you make yourself / the ways you can be contacted. 
  • How often it isn’t as bad as you thought it might be – having some perspective.  
  • Teaching our children about how to manage their time and the myriad of notifications that are thrown at them on a daily basis.  
  • Things we can do to help organise (and how it’s important to be able to trust others with tasks and preparation to help spread the load!). 
  • Carving out time for yourself – how important it is, but how it can also lead to guilt. 
  • Safia’s tips for how to cope when you are feeling overwhelmed.

About the Podcast

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
Subscribe to Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - new episodes every fortnight, to help you get the best out of your time with the children in your life.
