Readership numbers are the bloodline for our magazine. They help us to get advertisers and brand partnerships. They help us to get bigger and better features. They help us get in more stores. They are essential to for our business to continue developing.
We created BROOD so that entrepreneurial and working parents could find their tribe. A magazine they could pick up and actually relate to. With features that inspire them and reassure them that they are not alone. With family centered tips and tricks from fellow parents doing the juggle, and informative articles to help you in your career. And not forgetting all the bits we still care about, Style, Food, Balance and Travel, because becoming a parent doesn’t mean we stop being us.
So if you love BROOD and you want to help us to keep going and to keep growing, and you are able to, then please do. You can buy a one off yearly bundle for only £19.99!*

Relationship expert Sally Land highlights the hidden toll that high-conflict separations can take on children — and how often schools end up caught in the crossfire.

Building a Brand as a Working Parent: The Bit Nobody Talks About (The Loneliness)
Building a brand as a working parent looks great on paper — flexible hours, doing something you love, creating a life that fits around family. But the reality is often messier. You’re juggling school runs and deadlines, client work and packed lunches, confidence wobbles and cash flow worries… and somehow you’re expected to show up online like you’ve got it all under control.
The Balance of Play
I hate admitting that because I value play so deeply, especially in those precious early years. It’s how our children learn, explore, imagine and build confidence. But as a mum trying to keep a household running and a business growing, it’s not always easy to appreciate those moments.

Why Family Gardening Is Having a Quiet Comeback
There’s a noticeable shift happening in how families spend their time. It isn’t loud or trend-led, and it’s rarely documented with before-and-after shots. Instead, it’s quieter and slower, rooted in small routines and shared moments. Family gardening is part of that change.
From Parliament to the Premier League: Campaigning for survivors of domestic abuse during this #16DaysOfActivism

WHY PARENTS NEED A WILL (Even If You Don’t Think You Do)
A lot of people still think wills are only for the wealthy or the elderly. I hear this all the time. In reality, wills are about far more than dividing up money.
