A Reflection from This Morning ๐ŸŒฟ

This morning I was reminded how easy it is to lose the lightness in life.

To get so focused on doing, providing, planningโ€ฆ that the part of me who laughs easily and moves slowly feels far away.

Philip calls her โ€œholiday Meg.โ€
And sometimes I bristle at that, because she sounds like a luxury - like someone I can only be when the work is done.

But today, I realised something: sheโ€™s not gone. Sheโ€™s just waiting to be invited into the ordinary moments too โ€” the school run, the work call, the quick dinner.

So I took one deep breath, smiled, and whispered to myself:

โ€œHoliday Meg gets to live here too.โ€

Maybe you need that reminder today as well - the part of you thatโ€™s soft, spontaneous, light-heartedโ€ฆ sheโ€™s still right there.
Invite her back, even for a minute. โœจ

This is a deeply personal post for me

A share about MY WHYโ€ฆ

It starts with a 20 year old dreamer transitions though a mom who would die for her babies, on to an entrepreneur who puts action to dreams. This is my story which you can read in more detail on my Substack (link in stories)

For 25 years, Iโ€™ve sat with parents who love their babies fiercely - but feel like theyโ€™re failing. ๐Ÿ’”

Not because they arenโ€™t enoughโ€ฆ but because parenting today is harder than ever.

Weโ€™ve lost the village.
Weโ€™ve gained Google at 2 a.m.
And between the noise, the pressure, and the comparison, itโ€™s no wonder so many parents feel anxious and alone.

Five years ago, I made it my mission to change that.

To build something that could truly support parents - not just with opinions, but with science, empathy and real-time guidance.

Thatโ€™s how Parent Sense was born.

An integrated digital platform guiding families from pregnancy to preschool -helping parents feel calm, confident and connected.

This journey hasnโ€™t been easy. Itโ€™s been five years of building, failing, learning, and believing that if we can reach parents, we can change outcomes for babies.

Because when parents feel calmโ€ฆ babies thrive. ๐Ÿค

Thatโ€™s my why.
Thatโ€™s what keeps me going.

This week on Sense by Meg Faure, Meg is joined by psychotherapist Nicole Runyon () for an urgent and essential conversation:

Are diagnoses like ADHD and autism truly on the rise โ€” or are we pathologizing our children's response to a fractured environment? Nicole argues that our kids are sending a message we cannot ignore. ๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿฆท Is your child a mouth-breather? Do they snore or grind their teeth?
These might look like small quirks, but they could be signs of something bigger.

This week on Sense by Meg Faure, Meg chats with leading pediatric dentist Dr. Rafif Tayara in a fascinating episode that will make you Rethink Your Childโ€™s Smile! ๐Ÿ˜โœจ

๐Ÿ’ก This episode goes way beyond cavities to show how oral health is deeply connected to your childโ€™s overall well-being.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Meg & Dr. Tayara unpack:
โžก๏ธ The dangers of mouth breathing โ€” how it links to sleep issues, bedwetting & even behavior challenges.
โžก๏ธ When to start brushing โ€” (hint: itโ€™s earlier than you think, even before teeth!).
โžก๏ธ Toddler toothbrushing battles โ€” gentle, practical tips for little ones who resist.
โžก๏ธ The truth about juice & sugar โ€” why even โ€œ100% organicโ€ juice isnโ€™t the best choice.
โžก๏ธ Creating positive dental experiences โ€” preventing a lifetime of dental phobia.

โœ… A must-listen for every parent who wants to support their childโ€™s health from the inside out!
