Hello to you all it’s lovely to have you back here at Destination Boarding.
We’re popping into your podcast feed with a few BONUS episodes in addition to our weekly drop. They’re short and straight to the heart and I know they will resonate with you.
This episode I’m catching up Kirsty Wiggins – you might remember we spoke with Kirsty at the beginning of this year, and we really dived deep into the emotions that surround the drop off to boarding school. It was an authentic impassioned conversation around our experience as parents as we transitioned from parenting at home to parenting from a far.
I would absolutely recommend it to you – a beautiful episode.
Well, today we’re back… ‘banging on about boarding’ as we like to say. I love my chats with Kirst. She’s a warm gutsy woman and I love that we’re friends.
I’m finding out how Term 1 has gone down for Team Wiggins. It hasn’t all been a bed of roses and in this conversation Kirsty drops some worthy pearls of wisdom as she always does. Perfectly timed for the school holidays!
Graziher magazine were so enamoured with our conversation on the big drop off feelings that they included an interview with Kirsty in their Boarding Schools Guide 2025 available now. Here at Boarding Schools Expo we are thrilled with our partnership with Graziher magazine for their Boarding Schools Guide – we have a shared focus on bringing the stories of boarding school families to life.
There’s a link here to a couple of episodes you might like to listen to if you haven’t already. A veritable caché of wisdom and advice to nail parenting from afar:
