Meet Libby: Your guide to a calmer Dadlife

I’m Libby - married for 30 years, mum to two grown-up children, and someone who has spent her whole adult life supporting families. My background as a nursery nurse means I’ve worked closely with dads at every stage of family life, helping them understand their children, their routines, and the pressures of modern parenting.

I'm living my dream life on the North Norfolk coast. I love quiet mornings, nature, gardening and Tai-Chi.

I’ve lived my own journey from stress and overwhelm to steadiness and calm, so I understand how hard it can be to juggle work, home, relationships, and your own well-being. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping dads find simple, practical ways to feel calmer and more present.

I’m not a dad myself, obviously, but I bring 30 years of real-life experience, honest conversations, and a calm, steady presence. Dads tell me they feel comfortable talking to me because I listen, I don’t judge, and I help them make sense of what’s going on in their world. I’m here to support them, encourage them, and help them become the dad they’re proud to be.

I started Dad's Calm Corner because I've seen working dads struggle with stress, pressure, and the constant pull between work and home. I've witnessed how much they care, how they want to be present, and how hard it can be to switch off from work mode and simply "be" at home, calm and connected.

After 30 years of marriage, raising two children, and a career in nursery nursing, I've supported Dads through every stage of family life. I've also lived my own journey from overwhelm and ill-health to steadiness, clarity, and a calmer way of being. I know how powerful small changes can be.

I'm passionate about helping dads find their calm because I believe they deserve support, understanding, and a space to talk honestly about what's going on in their world. Dad's Calm Corner is my way of offering practical tools, steady guidance, and a listening ear to help dads feel proud of how they show up at home.
