1 hour 20 minutes | Thursday, 3 July 2025

2025 marks a milestone for millions - with an estimated 50 to 55 million women turning 40 this year. Once seen as the gateway to midlife decline, this decade is now being reclaimed as a powerful, pivotal chapter. But what does it really mean to be 40-something today? The Midlife Mentors James and Claire Davis join Helen  As schools break up for summer, most children feel excited - but for many neurodivergent kids, this season can bring uncertainty, anxiety, and overwhelm. Inclusion expert Louise Dawson joins us to explore how parents can help ease the transition and why a little planning can go a long way. A travel simulation for children with autism was held at Dubai Airports. We get the details from Fatma Taher.  And how should parents talk to their kids so they will listen? Siog Moore has all the advices ready for you.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
