Parenting expert Dr rosina McAlpine interviewed on Masterful Parenting
What if the stress you feel as a parent is not a personal failing, but a systems problem that can be solved?
In this insightful conversation from the Masterful Parenting Podcast, Parenting expert Dr Rosina McAlpine unpacks the real pressures facing working parents today, and why so many are feeling stretched, exhausted, and unsupported. Drawing on global research and over a decade of experience working with organisations, she highlights a powerful truth: working parents are one of the most at-risk groups for burnout, yet they are often the least supported.
This is not just a parenting issue. It is a workplace, economic, and societal issue.
The discussion explores practical, real-world strategies that actually work for busy families. From simple routines that reduce morning chaos, to building a “village” of support, the conversation is full of relatable examples and immediately usable ideas. It also reveals what organisations can do differently, from gathering the right data to creating genuinely family-friendly cultures that empower employees rather than penalise them.
Perhaps most importantly, this episode offers reassurance. Parents are not alone, and they are not failing. With the right support, both at home and at work, families can thrive.
If you are a parent feeling the pressure, or a leader wanting to better support your team, this is a conversation worth listening to.
