Podcast naBOSo Children Barefoot Walking, Movement and Health

How can you avoid parental burnout, find time for yourself, and handle challenges with perspective and humour?

In today’s episode of the naBOSo mluVÍ podcast, we welcome Kateřina Trávníček – a therapist in training and mum of two, who speaks openly about something that often gets overlooked in parenthood: parents’ mental health. Together, we’ll talk about how to navigate parenting with more ease, hold on to your own identity, and cope with the pressures and expectations of society.

Kateřina shares her experience, advice and practical tips on how not to lose your mind with the never-ending to-do list, how to find balance between caring for your family and caring for yourself, and why it’s time to stop feeling guilty. You can also look forward to a discussion about children and digital technology, as well as how to survive the teenage years without losing your sense of humour.
