Eva, host of the DAM Parenting Podcast
Hosted by

Eva

An Irish parent living in Amsterdam, raising a child in a language not her own, navigating Dutch systems as an outsider — and talking about it honestly.

She started DAM Parenting three years ago, after one too many conversations that began with "is it just me?" More than 200 episodes later, the answer is still no.

"Parents don't need fixing. They need conditions where they can function."
Once a month

220 episodes. We'll find the right one.

Following the show tells you what's new. The round-up tells you what's already there — the episodes from the archive worth going back for, and what we covered this month. Four minutes, last Friday.

One email a month, on the last Friday. We'll send a quick confirmation email to click — check spam if it doesn't appear. Unsubscribe any time.
