Ashley Verma shares a Bizzimumzi chat with Clinical Psychologist & Author of "Parenting for Humans", Dr. Emma Svanberg aka Mumologist.

Dr. Svanberg is experienced in a range of psychological therapies that work integratedly, with a focus on attachment and psychodynamic approaches. She also draws from Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, systemic and narrative approaches and other theories. Alongside my direct clinical work, I use community psychology ideas to offer information, support and empowerment through writing, online communities, social media and activism. Emma believes that many mental health problems could be prevented or their impact minimised with better support from those around us – from our communities to our governments.

During this Bizzimumzi chat Ashley and Emma discuss:

Dr. Svanbergs journey to becoming a Clinical Psychologist

What led her to specialise in early years birth trauma

How to achieve being "good enough" in the parenting space

Approaching parenting with low pressure

Passing the torch with words of wisdom to a fellow Bizzimumzi


The Bizzimumzi Podcast is brought to you by coffee-infused host Ashley Verma. This show is created to share all the ups, downs and all arounds of the wild world of parenting. Each week Ashley will be joined by a fellow inspiring, thriving and surviving Bizzimumzi – who will share their own journey. This podcast is your weekly opportunity to take a deep breath as we try to navigate the wild world of parenting; think of this podcast as the safe space where we are not too hard on ourselves, we share our humility and relish in overcoming the inevitable failures that simply happen. This is a podcast for those who are unapologetically At Its Best, even when 'At its Best' means the dishes aren't done, there is crayon on the walls and your hair hasn't been washed in forever.
