Last week Justin and Kylie discussed Chappell Roan's recent claim that everyone she knows who has kids is miserable. 
Listen to episode #1245 - Mothers & Happiness

In light of this, we thought we'd replay episode #1072 - an interview with journalist Angela Mollard about an article where she asked if parenting needs a PR job.  The link to that article is in the notes below.

Journalist Angela Mollard writes that "[a]n age of confession and vulnerability has seen parenting rebranded as a challenging, joyless, expensive, and freedom-sapping decision. They forgot the awesome bits."

On the podcast today, Angela chats with Justing about finding the joy in parenting, the importance of perspective and gratitude, and why we must speak of the great parts of parenthood—because although parenting is hard, it's absolutely worth it!

In this episode:
The vulnerabilities VS the joys of parenting
Parenting needs a PR job? Blame the mummy bloggers | Angela Mollard | The Daily Telegraph
Finding fulfilment in parenting
