A must-watch if you’re parenting in today’s world

Hello MindFull Readers,

A drama series recommendation — Adolescence

If you haven’t watched Adolescence yet, I gently urge you to give it a try — especially if you’re a parent.

This UK drama series tore me right down the middle. It’s raw, real, and painfully reflective of what so many of us are navigating — both as parents and as the children we once were.

Adolescence dives deep into the complex, messy layers of growing up and raising children today. Without giving too much away, the show touches on:

• The invisible weight of school and academic pressure

• Peer dynamics and the desperation to belong

• Friendship betrayals and first heartbreaks

• How parenting can both heal and harm

• And the haunting influence of social media

It left me with a lump in my throat — not just for the characters, but for my own inner child… and for our children too.

We’re living in an era where many of us in our 30s, 40s, even 50s are only now beginning to untangle our childhood wounds. We’re learning to reparent ourselves — while simultaneously parenting children through a world that’s noisier and more layered than ever.

It’s not just a different kind of parenting. It’s a multi-dimensional kind. One that often overwhelms us with its emotional, societal, and digital demands.

And sometimes, the answer isn’t to do more — but to gently return to less.

To simplicity. To presence. To connection.

🩵 What would parenting look like for you… if it felt simpler again?

With warmth and mindfulness,
