Why Are We Whispering? With Jennie Guay

Parenting doesn’t just shape our kids. It quietly reshapes our friendships too.Today’s episode is a real one. Host Jennie is joined by Sarah Knight, founder of FoundHerFire and host of the podcast It’s Got Pockets, and they get into the messy, often unspoken tension that can creep in when our parenting styles don’t align.Because let’s be honest, friendships can turn into… friendSHITS real quick when you and your friends have completely different views on discipline, screen time, independence, gender dynamics, or what’s “right” for your kids.Sarah and Jennie talk about how these differences don’t just impact our children; they can strain long-term friendships, create awkward school gate dynamics, and even spark quiet competition between parents who actually like each other. So how do we navigate it? Why does parenting bring out this competitive edge in so many of us? And is it possible to stay close to people whose parenting choices you fundamentally disagree with?This conversation is honest, nuanced, and probably going to hit close to home.You can find Sarah Knight here:Website: FOUNDHER FIRE — Sarah KnightInstagram: @foundherfireYou can find Jennie Guay here:Website: Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoach Book: Howie Blend: Playdate Adventures with Family and Friends: Amazon.co.uk: Guay, Jennie: 9781919623108: Books

Her approach weaves together spiritual guidance, trauma healing, and practical integration, creating a pathway back to wholeness.Jennie and Mary explore what alignment actually means, how healing can unfold during uncertain times, and how accessing the Akashic field can illuminate your inner purpose and support profound transformation.If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re ready for a deeper level of healing, this episode is going to resonate.You can find Mary Maderias on:Website: The Akashic WayYou can find Jennie Guay on;Website: Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoachBook: Howie Blend: Playdate Adventures with Family and Friends: Amazon.co.uk: Guay, Jennie: 9781919623108: Books

What happens when the person you once built a life with becomes the person you are divorcing and have to protect your children from both emotionally and psychologically and even energetically. When co-parenting isn't possible, when every exchange feels like a minefield, we are told to "parallel parent". But what does that mean and what does it actually look like when you're dealing with a high conflict personality disordered ex? And how do you stop your children for carrying the emotional cuts and bruises that come with that territory? Joining host Jennie on this weeks episode is psychotherapist, mediator, CEO of Psyched Ventures and the Author of 'Mt Parent the Peacock', Kathleen Saxton. Together they talk about the hidden emotional toll of parenting alongside someone who thrives in conflict, how to protect your children's sense of safety and self and what really happens to kids who grow up with a personality disordered parent. This isn't an easy conversation. But it is an essential one!

Approximately 1 in 1000 women experience postpartum psychosis. It's a condition that remains largely hidden. rarely openly talked about and is veiled in silence and shame. Joining host Jennie on this weeks episode is Sarah Berry-Valentine. She was that ONE out of 1000. Sarah bravely allows us in to her deeply personal experience with postpartum psychosis following the birth of her first child. Sarah was recently featured in Glamour UK telling her story and has been candidly using her voice to raise awareness, offer hope and understanding, and advocate for better support for women. Her story is raw and powerful and SO needed in a world ( and a social media world filled with influencer mums) that often romanticise motherhood, whilst ignoring its most vulnerable moments.
