This week on Parenthood, I am joined by Dr Michaela and Sarah, co-founders of Elme Health, for an honest conversation about preventative healthcare and why we shouldn't wait until something goes wrong.
From Michaela's cancer diagnosis as a mum of two young children to Sarah's experience watching her mother live with multiple sclerosis, they share the personal stories behind their mission to change how we approach our health.
We explore early detection, the importance of listening to your body and why prioritising your health isn't selfish, especially when you're a busy parent.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.- What happens when you adore your friend… but dread spending time with their partner?
We unpack personality clashes between couples, whether it’s okay to keep friendships to coffee dates and playdates, and how to set boundaries without hurting your friend or making them choose sides.
Because sometimes the best way to protect a friendship is accepting that not everyone needs to be friends.
