S7: E4 Solo Parent of Twins in the public eye
<p>In this episode I speak to children's entertainer and Red Wiggle, Caterina Meta about her journey to become a solo parent of twins. </p> <p>*trigger warning we do discuss miscarriage in this episode</p> <p>For over three decades, The Wiggles, the world’s most popular children’s entertainment group have educated, entertained, and enriched the lives of millions of pre-schoolers (and their parents) all over the globe. Today, generations of fans that grew up watching The Wiggles are sharing their love of them with their own children. Having sold over 30 million albums and DVDs and 8 million books globally, as well as accumulating over 2 billion music streams and 3 billion views on YouTube, The Wiggles continue to dominate the preschool entertainment scene. Their live shows annually sell out to audiences on three separate continents, and their videos are seen in over 190 countries around the world.</p> <p>The Wiggles recently launched a new educational series on YouTube called <a href='https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn4s8r0gyEesTuPWYxzlcZ8nDLqvxg_Gc'>Wiggle and Learn.</a> This pioneering series explores crucial early childhood themes including language development, basic maths, social skills, and health and world understanding, offering a comprehensive and engaging educational experience for young learners. A new episode lands every Friday and includes Caterina talking about her pregnancy to children. </p> <p> </p> <p>I first came across Caterina when I saw her lovely pregnancy announcement and the clear communication that she had used a donor to conceive in a message for her pre school audience. </p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode we discuss: - Caterina's fertility journey</p> <p>- Finding out you are having twins</p> <p>- How sharing your journey when you're in the public eye, can inspire others who may not have known about this path to parenthood</p> <p>- How society paints happily ever after as meeting a partner, getting married and having children together</p> <p>- How children react and don't judge when we share different journeys to parenthood</p> <p>- The importance and options around support network</p> <p>- Balancing career and being a solo parent</p> <p>and MUCH MUCH more! </p> <p> </p> <p>We were joined by Caterina's gorgeous dog for some of the interview, who also wanted their voice heard!! </p> <p> </p> <p>You can follow Caterina on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/caterina_mete_/'>here</a></p> <p> </p> <p>For more information in solo parenthood head to <a href='http://www.thestorkandi.com'>www.thestorkandi.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
