- About Me:
- I am Mum to my 18 year old son, Joey. I live with Joey's Dad, John in a colourful house in Bristol. I am a coach and facilitator as well as a project manager for the NHS. What does project manager mean well just about anything from getting the sandwiches to writing a paper for a £7m tender. I prefer coaching and facilitation. I work with Sarah which is inspring and fun. I like nothing better than cooking a delicious meal and sitting down with friends with a glass of chardonnay and some fab music on in the background.
- About my teenager:
- Joey has a wonderful optimistic attitude to life. Last year he was down to the last two for one of the main parts in Skins and didn't get it - his comment to me was 'oh well mum I got down to the last two so next time will be the right part of me'. As his mum I was pleased he didn't get it as he would have changed so much so quickly. Joey is applying to drama school. He is an absolue delight and I am grateful every single day that I was given the opportunity to share his life. At one time I was in a terrible place with my parenting but with lots of support and willingness on my part to change I have managed to become the mum I wanted to be to Joey.
- The one question I would like to ask Sarah.
- How to manage the knock backs that our teenagers get during their teen years so as to enable them to be more resilient to deal with life's knocks.
- My biggest challenge.
- Letting Joey go with my love and respect ringing in his heart and seeing the opportunities for me in the empty nest. There are plenty of opportunities I just want to be able to see them through the tears.
