Parenting teenagers untangled. 🏆 The audio hug for parents of teens and tweens.
Parenting teens and tweens? Welcome to your multi-award winning weekly audio hug where no question is a bad question, and curiosity beats judgment—every time.
Join us and find the stability, calm and humour we all need as parents. Most of all, we help you connect with your teen so you can genuinely enjoy parenting them.
Each week, I take a topic 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.
💌 Do you have a question, a story, or just need to vent? Drop me a line at teenagersuntangled@gmail.com (total privacy, no judgment, promise).

loved this episode so much and about to share with everyone I know! The one thing I would add to the list (she writes, out on her morning jog) is working out what your non-negotiable is as a parent (in terms of your own self-preservation for playing the long game) and making sure it just always happens, no excuses. For me it’s morning exercise - a run or a swim or some yoga (or two or all three this week as I’m on hols in suffolk!!!!!!) - and then I’m set up for the day to be the mum I’m going to be. So that’s just one thing I’d add - making sure we all do one thing each day just for ourselves and having no guilt about it, even when we are asked to do something for or with our kids as we are leaving the house. I’m also much better at working out the negative non-negotiable: it’s taken me years and years to realise I’m just a much nicer, happier, better mum when I don’t really drink, for example. Working out what you're not going to do or be - fun spritzer mum!! - can be as important as working out what you are going to do or be. Again, once decided it removes the guilt. But for others I know that sundowner would be their ring fenced non-negotiable! Anyway, thanks so much for all your work and research and engagement and curiosity. You guys really prop us all up. And happy birthday! You are looking INCREDIBLE for 100!!! x x Tara
