From the publisher
Parental Control is a monthly parenting and lifestyle podcast created by My Baba and hosted by the website's founder Leonora Bamford. The first episode came about when Leonora became increasingly frustrated at how challenging it is to keep her children safe online and wanted to find out what teenagers really think about being online and staying safe. Parental Control is about feeling in control as a parent or prospective parent and feeling confident tackling problems head-on. Each month, we'll discuss current and on-going issues that affect mums and dads throughout parenthood and tease out the solutions with the help of some brilliant guest and expert speakers. My Baba provides the daily scoop on family, food and lifestyle - we're not just experts at all things parenting.

S1 Ep 127Women's Body Coach Emma Simarro On Training, Confidence, Hormones And Real Life
There's no shortage of advice telling women how they should look, eat or exercise — and it's no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed, confused or stuck when it comes to our bodies. In this episode, we're joined by Emma Simarro, Women's Health Coach and founder of Building Body Confidence, to cut through the noise and talk about what actually helps women feel strong, confident and well, especially through midlife. Emma's work focuses on moving women away from restrictive diets and over-exercise, and towards strength, sustainable habits and long-term health. Drawing on her experience supporting women at every stage of life, she shares honest, practical advice on body confidence, strength training, nutrition, hormones and the mindset shifts that make lasting change possible. This is a reassuring, down-to-earth conversation for anyone who's tired of fitness fads, frustrated by conflicting advice, or unsure where to begin — and a reminder that feeling good in your body doesn't have to be complicated or punishing.
