Welcome to our new
Inspired Parenting Podcast! 

We are very pleased to be able to provide the podcast, at no charge, for your listening pleasure. We hope they provide some valuable advice to help with your most important role in life, as a parent.   

The podcast will be hosted by mother of two and Magic Coat Founder/ CEO , Di Wilcox and co-hosted by the amazing Claire Ridley, Channel 9 reporter and producer and parent to gorgeous toddler, Arlo.

Featuring parenting stories from incredible guests on a diverse range of topics, the podcast will provide a tool to inspire others on their parenting journey.

We will also feature ‘special edition’ episodes where some amazing individuals will talk about their own childhood and what they believed positively and negatively impacted their upbringing, so those listening can make informed choices and decisions when raising their own children.

Tips and experiences on self-care, mindfulness and wellness are also included, because you can’t be a good parent if you don’t look after yourself first.

Thank you for listening!

Di and Claire
