Parenting teenagers untangled. 🏆 The audio hug for parents of teens and tweens.

Welcome to your weekly audio hug where no question is a bad question, and curiosity beats judgment every time.

I'm a former BBC Correspondent, and mum, on a mission to bring parents of tweens and teens stability, calm and humour. Most of all, I want to help us all get better at connecting with our teens so we can genuinely enjoy parenting them. 

Each week, I take a topic, research it, and find you the best answers. Whether interviewing experts, chatting with my friend Susie, or getting the lowdown from my own teenagers. 

Susie - friend, Mindfulness guru, and fellow parent in the trenches - brings her wisdom and personal stories to help us contemplate a different perspective.

No one has this parenting thing mastered—even parents or experts who seem like they do. Making mistakes isn’t failing, it’s learning. And good parenting? It’s a lifelong journey.

At the heart of it all, our kids just want to be loved for who they are, not just what they do so ditch perfection and choose connection.
