The Family Architect: Parenting by Design, Rather than by Default
Welcome to The Family Architect: Parenting by Design, Rather than by Default, where we strip back the pretence and get real about the raw, messy, and beautiful reality of raising kids today. I’m Philippa Scott—mum of four, grandmother, crunchy as they come, and here to help you navigate the wild ride of parenting with a healthy dose of honesty, a touch of wit, and yes, the occasional swear word.
This isn’t about striving for perfection; it’s about showing up, breaking old cycles, and parenting with purpose. Together, we’ll dive into the deep stuff—building stronger connections, creating your village, and figuring out how to parent with intention without losing yourself along the way.
With 21 years of experience in birthwork and parenting, I’ve been there, done that, and got the stretch marks to prove it. These bite-sized episodes are packed with practical tips, real-life stories, and straight-talking advice to help you be the parent you want to be—on your terms.
Parenting’s tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s design a family life you love—chaos, tears, triumphs and all.
