  • Stress Series – Juggling the Working Parent Life
    Jan 21 2025

    Parent, spouse, child, friend, employee... The list of roles and responsibilities goes on, with seemingly endless to-dos.

    With so much on our plates, stress and guilt may be some common things we feel.

    In this episode of the ParentEd Podcast, our host, Alicia Boo, sits down for a chat with June Yong, a working mum of 3, and Moo Dean, a working father with 3 teenage daughters. They talk about discovering and flowing with the changing rhythms of life as a working parent (who are also studying part-time), and how they intentionally prioritise different responsibilities depending on the needs of the season. Tune in to find encouragement as you juggle responsibilities and collect some tips for this balancing act.
