“Anyone who tries to tell you how to train your child or train your baby, that’s the path to misery for me.”


In business, Fleur Emery is a force to be reckoned with, a hyper-efficient ball of energy, renowned for her firm boundaries and unapologetic authenticity. When Fleur became a single parent in her early 40s, she was taken completely by surprise, having already grieved the idea of never becoming a mum. Her approach to parenting surprised her too, being so different in so many ways from her approach to work. She’s embraced attachment parenting and a completely child-centric lifestyle, creating a peaceful and rewarding home and life for herself and her daughter.


In this episode of the Frolo podcast, Fleur talks to Zo? about:


???????How living in London during her twenties and embracing party culture took her to rock bottom, and how she turned that around to find a place where she embraces life every day.

???????Creating her first business, Grasshopper Porridge, from scratch and what she would do differently if she had the time over.

???????Becoming pregnant aged 42 after coming to terms with the idea that she would never be a mum.

???????Her latest venture, Real Work, an online co-working space for women, and how she fits running her own business into school hours.

???????How being in bed by 7pm with her daughter listening to The Archers is now everything she wants.
