Alpha Bites

The ‘Raising the Future’ event focused on Gen Alpha & Beta (our fave generation 😉✨) @thehubonverulam on Wednesday evening was brilliant, thank you to the hub for inviting us to host the ‘Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds’ panel 🩵

During the evening while we discussed Parenting in the age of smartphones, What heathy really means and emotional resilience, 1 thing stood out to me - the shame we feel around sharing certain parenting experiences.

A friend recently shared with me that their 7 year old was struggling to be dry at night and confessed she hadn’t shared it with anyone as she felt he was too old to be experiencing this.

Let’s normalise the realities and messiness that comes with parenting. Because otherwise we feel alone and are not able to find connection that supports our happiness and wellbeing 😔

This event was full of exactly this and when we feel we’re not the only one it’s so reassuring and makes everyone feel better, and able to thrive 🙌

And that’s why we are building AlphaBites.

We are excited to be creating the most amazing space to rewrite the narrative on parenting so no parent feels alone and can get easy access to expert, trusted advice without the noise and overwhelm of the digital world.

It’s so freeing to share different versions and different experiences, and to realise you’re most probably not the only one 🥰

Thank you Louise @nourished__nest, Bec @mini.mindfulnessuk and Lauren @thelittlegymharpenden for providing that expert, trusted advice for us on Wednesday. It was the perfect safe space 👌 🩵
