This podcast on parenting and family features Jacqui and Julian Bull - a powerful husband and wife duo with a great amount of experience and knowledge to share.
Julian is a highly accomplished, humble and wise individual. His job title as Chief Commercial Officer at Endava only skims the surface of his accomplishments; he also proudly serves as trustee for iheart Charity, in addition to being a devoted parent, with Jacquie, to Phoebe and Aaron.
Jacqui is a powerhouse of talent and insight – her charisma captivates hearts! She has an impressive resume with experience as a coach, multi faith minister, breathwork facilitator and a certified iheart facilitator. On top of this, she founded Serenity Practice, a not-for-profit dedicated to reminding people them that joy and serenity is our birthright.
Both Jacqui & Julian were very open and transparent during our conversation - no sugar coating or romanticising here! It was a joy to be part of this raw yet genuine exchange between two incredible people exploring how they navigated their lives through the dark and messy moments of parenting, mental health challenges, mistakes made, and lessons learnt. Most of all, it was inspiring to spend time with a couple who profoundly understand that this life is one of grappling, ongoing learning and appreciation.
