Let’s Talk Clarity Host Zeenat Noorani Episode 161: Healing Young Hearts – Supporting Children Through Grief and Loss Let's Talk Clarity is a podcast featuring open, honest, and empowering conversations about mental health and wellbeing.
In this episode, Zeenat talks about Supporting Children Through Grief and Loss, that Grief isn’t just something adults experience — children do too, and often in ways we might not recognise.

• How grief shows up in children at different ages.
• The emotional and psychological impact of loss.
• How to support children through grief while also caring for your own wellbeing.
• Practical tools and compassionate strategies
SEGMENT 1: UNDERSTANDING GRIEF IN CHILDREN Adults often think grief is about sadness — but for children, it canlook very different.
Coaching Moment: Pause for a second and think: when your child is quiet or withdrawn, do you jump to fix it or allow space for silence?SEGMENT 2: THE IMPACT OF GRIEF AND LOSS ON MENTAL WELLBEING
Grief changes how children see the world. It can shake their sense of safety, predictability, and trust.Common Emotional Reactions:
• Anxiety • Anger • Guilt. • Regression
Parent Coaching Moment -Awareness Exercise- Think about how grief was handled in your own childhood. Were feelings openly talked about or brushed aside?
SEGMENT 3: WHEN THE PARENT IS GRIEVING TOO
When your child is grieving, you are too. It’s okay for them to see you cry.
Mental Health Tip
Self-Care Strategies for Parents
• Find an adult outlet
• Schedule small pauses for yourself
• Practice compassionate self-talk
• Keep routines gentle but predictable
Parent CoachingMoment -Self-Reflection: Ask yourself: how am I really doing right now? What do I need to feel more grounded this week? You can’t pour from an empty cup — and how your healing supports your child’s.
SEGMENT 4: HOW TO SUPPORT CHILDREN THROUGH GRIEF 🌿 1. Be Honest,Not Harsh
💬 2. Create a Safe Space for Feelings
🌈 3. Keep Routines with Flexibility
💞 4. Remember Together
🧘 5. Support Emotional Literacy
🪶 6. Seek Extra Support When Needed
If your child’s grief becomes prolonged or they show signsof deep withdrawal, appetite change, or persistent guilt, consider reaching out to a professional.
Coaching Moment - Connection
Ask your child, What’s one thing you miss the most, and one thing you remember fondly?
SEGMENT 5: RECONNECTING WITH HOPE
Grief doesn’t end — it changes shape. Over time, memories become softer, and love finds new ways to live.Coaching Reflection
• What small step can you take this week to honour both your child’s grief and your own?
• Can you allow space for love, memory, and healing — without rushing the process?
FINAL THOUGHTS Grief and loss are part of life, but they don’t have to define it. When children are supported with compassion, honesty, and presence, they emerge stronger, wiser, and more connected.
If this episode has touched you, please share it with someone who may need it — a parent, teacher, or friend supportinga grieving child. And if you or your child are struggling, please reach out —to a professional, a school counsellor, or to Zeenat Noorani at Clarity Consulting.

Episode 158: Tiger Parenting – Balancing High Expectations and Emotional Wellbeing
Let's Talk Clarity is a podcast featuring open, honest, and empowering conversations about mental health and wellbeing.
In this episode, Zeenat about a parenting style that sparks both admiration and controversy — Tiger Parenting. Is the terminology Tiger Parenting the right term? This does bring up some interesting debates.
How do we raise ambitious, resilient childrenwithout crushing their mental wellbeing in the process?
By the end of this episode, you’ll have:
SEGMENT 1: WHAT IS TIGER PARENTING?
Check out Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
Zeenat talks about the definition and its origins. As well as which cultures the term Tiger Parenting is most associated with - Cultural roots, beliefs, intergenerational influence and traditions.
She further highlights the reasons why parents adopt this style, with the pros and the negative impact on mental health.
Included in the episode are Reflective Coaching Moments for parents. 'Pause & Reflect'
SEGMENT 2: THE PRESSURES AND ITS IMPACT
Examples and scenarios are given to put things into context.
SEGMENT 3: FINDING BALANCE- STRATEGIES FOR PARENTS
Core principle:
High standards are not the problem — lack of emotional balance is. You can aim high and nurture mental health. Here’s how:
SEGMENT 3: FINAL THOUGHT & CALL TO ACTION
''Tiger parenting isn’t inherently bad — it comes from love and a desire to give children the best. But when ambition overshadows emotional connection, children may achieve success without joy. High expectations are healthy when paired with unconditional support.''
Ask yourself: ''Am I raising a child who succeeds - or a child who thrives?''

Episode 154: Nurturing Creativity - the Powers of Arts & Crafts for Mental, Emotional Wellbeing
Let's Talk Clarity - Host Zeenat Noorani
Today’s episode is very close to Zeenat's heart. It’s all about something that often gets dismissed as ‘just a hobby’—but inTruth, it can be life-changing: the power of creativity, arts, and crafts in supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Zeenat explores:
Why creative expression is essential—not optional—for mental health
How creativity supports neurodivergent minds and different learners
The physical and cognitive benefits of hands-on creativity
And most importantly, how you—yes, you—can reclaim or nurture creativity in yourself or your children
Are we measuring intelligence by outdated standards and missing the genius in our children and ourselves?
“Creativity doesn’t just feel good—it’s good for us, mentally and physically.
Fine motor development: Arts and crafts improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity, especially important for young children and older adults. Problem-solving: Choosing colours, solving design challenges, or following patterns boosts cognitive flexibility. Brain chemistry: Engaging in creative tasks activates the reward system in the brain, releasing dopamine, the ‘feel good’ chemical.

Let's Talk Clarity is a podcast where we have open, honest, and empowering conversations about mental health and wellbeing.
Today, Zeenat dives into a topic that every parent and caregiver has faced at some point: screen time overuse. The endless battles over devices, the ‘just five more minutes’ pleas, and the worry that too much screen time is harming our children’s wellbeing.
Technology is a huge part of modern life—it’s how children learn, connect, and relax. But when does it become too much? And how do we, as parents and caregivers, set limits without constant conflict?
SEGMENT 1: THE REALITY OF SCREEN TIME OVERUSE
How much time do you think the average child spends on screens each day?
According to recent studies, children aged 8-12 spend an average of 4-6 hours on screens daily, while teenagers spend up to 9 hours. That’s more time than they spend sleeping or in school!
SEGMENT 2: THE BATTLES – WHY SCREEN TIME LEADS TO CONFLICT
Zeenat shares a scenario you might find familiar. As parents, how do we break this cycle without constant battles?”
SEGMENT 3: STRATEGIES TO REDUCE SCREEN TIME BATTLE
Six practical strategies you can try:
1. Collaborate, Don’t Dictate
2. Set Clear, Consistent Boundaries
3. Offer Engaging Alternatives
4. Be a Role Model
5. Use Technology Wisely
6. Teach Digital Mindfulness
''The goal isn’t to control every minute—it’s to guide, model, and empower our children to develop a healthy, respectful relationship with technology. And remember, it’s okay to have off days. Progress, not perfection.”
SEGMENT 4: FINAL THOUGHTS
“The key takeaways''
If you need help navigating this challenge, I work with parents, schools, and communities to support children’s mental wellbeing.
You can reach out to me for guidance on setting healthy digital habits.

Welcome, co-host Kerry Madgwick!
The featured guest is perfect for today's show, as we talk about body image...
Guest, Divina Johnson, Certified Life & Success Coach of 'Know your Worth Coaching' shares her story and what she does.
Divina, who is based in Birmingham, UK, helps women who feel lost and out of place in life build relationships with themselves to then have the confidence to create and live the life they have always needed. She has been through this journey and would love to share how I was on this "train" of self-comparison, not living authentically, being a people pleaser, scared to be myself, and feeling alone, to someone who now honours themself first and is living the best life, doing what they love and helping other women do the same.
Divina is very passionate about women not following societal norms and choosing their own path. This, she feels, lies the issue most women feel...comparison, it's toxic! Society tells women how they should eat, feel, look, wear, work, love, size, shape, and the list goes on!
Through my coaching practice, Divina shows women how to tune out the noise and look within themselves for the answers they need, not the external.

In this show, once again I had the pleasure of being joined by the delightful co-host Kerry Madgwick.
What a great show with two very different guests: Tina Neve and Graeme Hoppitt.
Tina Neve, that . Tina has over 30 years of experience working within Executive Search and Human Resources. Tina is also a qualified Lecturer with experience delivering CIPD Courses and teaching young people aged 16+.
As a Career Development Expert, her approach is open, engaging, holistic, empathic, and supportive. She provides a trusting space to focus, in a world full of time pressures and distractions. Tina helps clients reconnect with their true motivations and values, understanding what really makes them “tick”, as well as appreciating their full range of skills and capabilities.
Tina supports individuals to flourish, enabling them to move forward in ways they cannot currently imagine. Throughout her career supporting individuals at times of transition or uncertainty, it is seldom the practicalities of the situation that are the issue. There is the surface level “what’s going on?” and then there is “what’s really going on?”. This is where feelings and emotions have a massive part to play. This impacts our interactions and relationships with others and their ability to progress and grow.
On the show, Tina talks about her personal challenges and life and how her Mindset and Resilience were key to her moving forward and not letting life challenges set her back.

Graeme Hoppitt, Transformational Coach / RTT hypnotherapist. Finance Director for BMW’s flagship dealership, Park Lane, Mayfair, London, where I stood up against a bullying regime that ultimately ended my 15-year BMW career. It was evident that profits came before people. He was already a workaholic and fighting against the bullying regime, physically and mentally exhausted him to the extent that and went off sick for 7 months, suffering from burnout. Within 3 months, he lost his job, left his wife of 21 years, and his mum died. Graeme was sicker than he imagined at the time and lived a mediocre life for years, falling into addiction.
Graeme shares his personal story, which has led him to do what he does now, becoming addiction-free naturally, escaping obsessive-compulsive thoughts and the power of the subconscious mind. The 3 subjects are intertwined and can be spoken of separately or collectively
1 - Addiction - enabling addicts to break free of their addictions naturally and create extraordinary lives beyond addiction, same as I have done!
2 - Overthinking - escaping obsessive-compulsive thoughts. Understanding how overthinking shows up. Many people don't even realise they are overthinking.
3 - Power of the subconscious mind. As Maxwell Maltz said, “You can never outperform your self-image”

Thank you to Co-host Kerry Madgwick. Another great show. I always love having you in.
This week's amazing and inspiring guest who has his heart on his sleeve was Jason Murrell – Founder and Director at JADE Window Cleaning & Support Services Ltd.
Jason has been in the business of commercial window cleaning for 30 years. Jason worked for several large companies within the Industry including helping to set up and run the Window Cleaning Division of MITIE, first off doing the hands-on work, getting up in cradles and cleaning some of the largest buildings across London, then moved into Operations Management running a team of 40 operatives and a fleet of 20 vehicles.
Jason always wanted to build his own business so, in 2014, with a friend, he started JADE WCSS Ltd. Now, the sole Director of this company.
JADE has since gone on to be awarded some very prestigious and complex buildings including most recently Perigon Heights in Bromley which is the highest residential apartment block in the borough.
They have also been awarded the SME Enterprise Award for Best Commercial Window Cleaning Company in the South East for 2 years running both 2020 and 21.
And most recently we were awarded the Global Enterprise Award for best Commercial Exterior Cleaning Company 2021
Most of our work is still focused on commercial properties, office blocks, leisure centers, distribution centers, retail units, etc., although we do have some residential clients too.
Jason loves the buzz of running his own business, of winning new clients, of keeping them happy, it is however extremely tough at times and very stressful.
Jason has also been a big supporter of this show because he thinks mental health is such an important topic, that’s why he is sponsoring Mindset Matters again. His daughter was one of the first guests, so he guessed it was only a matter of time before he'd up here! Jason has had his own battles; He lost his mum and his sister just a few short years ago and within about a year of each other and that was tough. The pandemic obviously had a big impact on his business yet here they are, building back better as the Chancellor likes to say!
A must listen to... What Jason has to share is so emotionally touching and will no doubt resonate with many out there, giving them hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Neil's goal for the studio is to improve your life so you can go on to help others. He wants to create a ripple effect that gets bigger and bigger until we lift the world!
Neil looked at his own skill sets and life experiences. He states that ''I am not a great intellectual, nor physically a genetic buff. Maybe greatness is not out there for me, but I can sure as hell do my best. Whatever I achieve, if I can say that I strived with every part of my being to get there, then I can be proud. Undoubtedly, I’ll learn something in the process.''
Competitive sports have been a part of his life since he was three years old. Starting in a swim team and progressing to football, he played seriously until the age of 22. At this point, Neil realised that it was his responsibility to maintain his physical shape. He was no longer a part of an organised club with scheduled training sessions, so he took ownership, made progress and people started to take notice.
At every gym session, there was a new face wanting to know what he was doing and how they could improve too. At this point, Neil decided to share his programme.
During the time, his rudimentary programme was in effect, some interesting key points began to emerge from participants' feedback. They noticed an undeniable positive shift in their mental health. They felt they made progress, they felt a spark of confidence.
Neil wants to produce that spark in everyone, grab it and create a burning passion. ''I believe LEO can do this.''

Two fabulous guests this show with:
Jenny Mason founder of Imajencoahing. After working in corporate change management for many years, Jenny finally managed to tap into her inner Houdini, break out of the chains that bound her, and swoop into the world of entrepreneurship as a transformation coach. Having found the key to being free to be her, she now helps others to develop and grow, going from survival to thriving!
Jenny's story is about how she suppressed her feelings and her intuition by rationalising why they were incorrect. This meant that Jenny always chose her head over her heart. Listening to the external world and her own beliefs and values above her internal wisdom about what was right for me! This led to stress, unhappiness, and a lack of energy as she lived a life that was comfortable but captive and where her heart was closed most of the time. Jenny managed to gain awareness and break through the barriers which kept her captive, resulting in taking a leap of faith, giving up her job, and founding Imajen Coaching.

Serena Sabala Co-founder of Whole Shift Wellness. Certified Plant-Based Nutrition Consultant, Yoga Teacher and Fitness Trainer who has studied the subject of nutrition for over ten years and has a unique, holistic approach to health and wellness.
When Serena was only 8 years old her father, a very successful and busy entrepreneur, got really sick: unfortunately, he didn’t have the tools to take care of his own well-being and therefore crumbled under the pressure of owning a multi-million euros business. This led to him losing everything he had worked so hard for, with huge consequences foreuro him and the whole family. As a result of her childhood experiences, Serena has developed an interest in wellbeing practices which started at a very young age.
Serena is also very passionate about bringing wellness to the workplace since many people spend most of their waking hours at work: she believes that “employees who are cared for, care more” and that companies who put the well-being of their employees at the forefront of what they do are more successful than average.
