When the Stakes Feel High

WARNING: this podcast is not for parents.

I spend a lot of my time visiting schools and speaking to classes full of children of all ages, so for once I’m dedicating a podcast episode to you, the kids.

This episode is all about giving you the skills and the understanding you need to manage those days when things feel overwhelming. Maybe your mental health is taking a hit, and maybe you have moments when the pressure gets too much.

Well here’s the secret: it’s ok! And here are some things you can do to manage that.

So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…
