In this episode, we sit down with Dr Cora Bopape; a paediatric specialist, to talk through infant allergy care in plain, useful terms. Dr Bopape breaks down what's normal newborn skin versus an actual allergic reaction, the current thinking on introducing allergenic foods like peanut and egg, and what a serious reaction actually looks like in a baby. She also busts a few myths parents hear constantly in the group chats. This is the episode for any parent standing over a cot wondering if that rash means something. YouTube

In this episode, we're joined by Mari Payne, Deputy Managing Director and Senior Director of Education and Outreach at Sesame Workshop International South Africa, to explore a question every parent thinks about: where does bullying really start, and how can we prevent it? Mari unpacks how empathy, self-regulation, and social skills are built in the earliest years, and how responsive, nurturing parenting shapes how children treat others. She shares practical, everyday ways parents can model kindness, set warm boundaries, support a child who is being excluded or bullied, and partner with schools when concerns arise. A grounding conversation for every parent raising a small human in a big social world. YouTube

Brent Lindeque built South Africa's top good news platform on a simple belief: there's more good in the world than we think and that matters even more when you're raising kids in it.

In this episode, Projeni sits down with Brent; entrepreneur, journalist, and the man behind Good Things Guy to talk about why negativity dominates our feeds, how to raise hopeful and resilient children without shielding them from reality, and what the science says about positive framing and family wellbeing. Brent also shares standout stories from Good Things Guy, reflects on his lunch with Oprah, and myth-busts some of the biggest misconceptions about "good news" as a philosophy.
