'The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world' 

- Toni Collette

The first and most important relationship is the one with ourselves. Our past experiences have shaped the person we are now. But that doesn't mean that defines us, and it doesn't mean we can't ditch those habits or negative beliefs that really don't work anymore.

By having a deeper understanding of ourselves, we are more able to create much better relationships with others in our world, whether personal, romantic, or professional.

My guests come from varied backgrounds and share their stories and experiences. Maybe similar to yours, or giving you a different perspective. 

So why not sit down, grab a cuppa and choose one of the episodes to listen to.

INTRO

Kari O’Driscoll is a writer and parenting coach. Her most recent book came out about a month ago and it's called, "Happy, Healthy Teens: Why Focusing on Relationships Works"

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT  -

Teenage years can be really tough for both the teen and their parents. It's often a  time when relationships break down as the child transitions from child to young adult. So whilst they can be challenging times, it’s really important for the connection between the parent and teen to be nurtured.

The importance of a connection with your teen

How to navigate through the difficulties and make things less fraught for you both

Why it’s important for parents to understand the role of power and how power actually destroys relationships.

Supporting your teen to take those faltering steps and spread their wings, knowing you are there in the background cheering them on.
