Hi everyone. Welcome to this very special episode of the Motherkind podcast recorded live on stage at the baby show with Little G.B. My guest is Lydia Bright. You might know Lydia from her reality TV show days. You also might know her from the incredible work she does advocating

for and supporting the foster care community. I loved being on stage with Lydia and being at

the baby show with Little G.B. The atmosphere was brilliant. And I hope listening to this,

you feel like you were there too. Here it is. I'm delighted to introduce this week's podcast sponsor,

Barefoot Footwear Company, Vivo Barefoot. Did you know that 90% of kids are wearing shoes

that are too small, which prevents their normal natural growth? And Vivo Barefoot shoes

keep feet as barefoot as possible because that is the best way

to ensure feet stay naturally strong and healthy. They actually increase foot strength and

stability by up to 60%. I have known about them for years because my husband guy is a big fan,

but now I'm super excited because they've just launched their first ever

walker for toddlers and preschoolers. The shoe is called pluma, meaning feather, and it's lightweight,

flexible and so soft and snug that actually socks aren't needed. So it's the perfect transition

from barefoot to footwear. Now, Vivo Barefoot are offering

Motherkind podcast listeners a 10% discount. So use the code Motherkind VB on their website to take

advantage of this fantastic offer that is Vivo Barefoot website and use the code Motherkind Veebe.

Winter bugs are just the worst.

And if you get ill as the parent, it is so challenging.

And it's probably even harder seeing

little ones unwell. So it's important to keep your family's immune system healthy. Sambacol
