Meet the Hosts of the Parenting Podcast That’s Changing the Conversation
We’re Katie Goldfinch and Kitty Hagenbach, and together we host How Not to F#*K Up Your Kids - a parenting podcast that’s honest, insightful, and fun.
Recently featured on Feedspot’s list of the Best Respectful Parenting Podcasts, our mission is to support you in raising emotionally resilient children, while keeping your own sanity intact.
Whether you're navigating pregnancy, toddlerhood or the teenage years, you're in the right place.
Why We Made This Podcast
When we first met, we bonded over our shared commitment to parenting that’s grounded in compassion, not perfection. Our conversations were so rich and affirming that we knew they had to be shared. How Not to F#K Up Your Kids was born to offer practical advice and emotional insight to parents everywhere.
We cover everything from pre-birth development to the pressures of modern family life, always with empathy, experience, and a bit of humour.
