Katherine Ryan: Parental Guidance: The Juggle (W Monday 5 February 2024)
In the series premiere of “Katherine Ryan: Parental Guidance,” comedian Katherine Ryan delves into unconventional parenting approaches, exploring families across the UK who are fully immersed in these alternative methods. Premiering on W Network on Monday 5 February 2024 at 21:00, the show takes viewers on a journey that not only introduces them to these unique families but also offers glimpses into Katherine’s own personal life and her belief that parents should trust their instincts rather than succumb to societal pressures.
As a stand-up comedian and TV host with a 14-year-old daughter, a 2-year-old, and a 7-month-old baby, Katherine finds herself struggling to balance her career with the demands of childcare. Feeling overwhelmed by this juggling act, she sets out on a quest to find ways to alleviate guilt surrounding accepting help and create more time for herself.
In the first episode titled “The Juggle,” Katherine embarks on her mission to strike a better work-life balance. She pays a visit to her friend Luisa Zissman, where some honest truths are shared. Seeking guidance from specialist “fixer nanny” Brenda Hart, Katherine receives advice on establishing better sleep routines for her youngest child Fred. Additionally, during an international call with her mother in Canada, an unexpected offer for assistance with childcare is extended.
Throughout the episode, viewers are introduced to the Smith Family—a family that involves all four grandparents in childcare arrangements as they both work to sustain their household. This case serves as an example of how families can come together creatively in order to navigate parental responsibilities while fulfilling financial obligations.
Plus, Katherine engages in conversations with fellow comedians London Hughes and Stephen Bailey.
“Katherine Ryan: Parental Guidance” promises an engaging exploration of non-traditional parenting choices while offering glimpses into Katherine’s own experiences as she attempts to navigate the challenges of her multifaceted life. Tune in to W Network on Monday 5 February 2024 at 9.00pm.
