Katie Piper on Life After Trauma, Parenting & Perspective | No Parental Guidance
About this episode
Katie Piper joins the hosts to discuss her experiences with parenting, trauma, and the challenges of modern motherhood.
This week we’re joined by the incredible Katie Piper. Best-selling author, OBE, activist, mum of two, and an absolute powerhouse of resilience. And yes… this episode is parenting, unfiltered. From navigating teen phones, iMessage vs. WhatsApp dilemmas, and missed birthday parties, to high-street “spy missions” tracking your kids like a pro, Katie keeps it real about modern motherhood. We also dive into sleepless nights caused not by kids, but by snoring partners, and the lengths you’ll go to reclaim a few hours of rest, sometimes hilariously questionable. There’s talk of step competitions, tech hacks for independence, and NaviLens which is changing how Katie navigates everyday life. Katie opens up about balancing life with a disability, raising confident girls, and parenting through the seasons, where rules, routines, and strategies constantly shift. There’s nostalgia for BBM, Blockbuster dates, and teen skincare tips that will make you laugh out loud. It’s chaotic, funny, and deeply relatable. If you’ve ever questioned your parenting choices, struggled with social media for your kids, or just wondered how to survive the teen years, this one’s for you. Subscribe…
