Join Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry on The Netmums Podcast for a chat with Charlene White. You might know her as an ITV News presenter and Loose Women host, but today she's dishing out her thoughts on parenting, cultural identity, and handling the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Charlene talks about the ups and downs of raising her two children, alongside a busy career. She opens up about her Caribbean roots and how they shape her parenting style, with a focus on good manners, discipline, and keeping cultural traditions alive.

The chat gets real about the pressures of being the 'perfect' parent and why it's more important to focus on what truly counts in family life. Charlene shares her candid take on the unrealistic expectations parents face and why happiness and health should top the list over chasing perfection.

Charlene gives us an insight into her new book, "No Place Like Home," diving into what 'home' means through her own experiences and others' stories.
