Teen Whisperer

Anyone remember playing pass the parcel as a kid? In this episode I talk trauma, patterns of behaviours and how conscious parenting helps. The middle of the parcel - the present - is you at your core in the truest sense of the word - who you really are The layers of paper are trauma and patterns distorting who you think you are. If you like what you hear then watch this space for new and exciting...

Following on two weeks ago, this is the new part of my podcast about my story of life with my teen daughter…. I talk about the ups and downs, topics that affect both of us as well as behaviour management, things going on for me and how it reflects onto her. It’s mahoosive, mind blowing and inspiring so come on down and listen in. This is part 2 in I can’t do this, the message behind fear. If you l...

Our girls brains are different to boys and physically need to feel connection with their friends so that they can feel good about themselves. Listen in for ideas that as a Mum you can help without fixing the situation or making her feel worse. The tv programme I was talking about is called I am Ruth plus the film Social Dilemma is another good watch.

So this week I introduce the new part of my podcast - my story with my teenage daughter, the highs and the lows - so that you can see you’re not alone. Enjoy listening to my side of the story and find out how to work with one another.

It’s the summer holidays, how are you feeling? Are you feeling upbeat and full of joy or exhausted and running on empty? Too often as Mums especially we are told to keep do, do, doing even when every part of our bodies is shouting STOP and REST but we can’t or won’t allow ourselves permission to. Why is this? Well culture and society play a massive part telling us that to be the best Mum, we need...

So for the last episode for the next 8 weeks, I am giving you a simple visualisation to use over and over again. Use it when you feel arrgh or when you need a little pick me up. Connect to those feelings and allow yourself to become calm. Breathing in this way allows to be in this moment, at one with yourself. Remember I will still be posting once a week on Connection Day but that’s it, so listen...

This week I talk about how past patterns repeat in our parenting of our teenage daughters and also how they affect us as women to keep believing their worth. If you would like to chat more please contact me on instagram at teen.whisperer.nature plus if you’re interested in digging deeper, I will be looking for case studies in the not so distant future.

So exams are over…most of them, so give yourself a massive hug - you so deserve it. Not only have you supported your teenage daughter, you have also managed yourself. This week I’m taking a different track and talking about how we all have experienced trauma, whether small or large. How understanding where the traumas are coming from and how they affect us, empowers us to connect with our teenage...

In this episode I talk how making a plan now for post exams takes away the anxiety and the arrgh for when her grades come through. Pre-empt the confusion and the anger so you both know what the options are and can make a fluid plan.

In this episode I talk about how using simple self help tools helps your daughter (and yourself) during, before and after exam prep. Being conscious of what’s happening for her right how helps her to know that you can see her in this present moment, not in the future and not in the past. By asking her what she needs rather than asking her what you can do for her helps her to know that she is in co...

Last week I talked about you and this week I talk about how nature transforms yours and your daughter’s mental health and wellbeing. It is so important to recognise our cyclical rhythms alongside the natural cycles of the year so you can manage your boundaries and energy.

So the last few week I’ve been talking about ways to support your teen daughter with her revision and exam prep but this week I am taking about you. I am talking about simple tools that help you to make space for yourself so your teen daughter can mirror the behaviours she needs to support her mental health and wellbeing. If you would like to connect email me at rachel@positivetouch.net, check out...

This week I talk about celebs who didn’t achieve at GCSEs but have made something of their lives. Not everyone is capable of retaining lots of information - I know I’m not.. and that’s ok.

Just a short one this week from me but one that’s important to listen to. Not everyone learns the same way so sit down and work with your daughter to find out what her learning style is. Then together you can make changes to her revision so she absorbs the information her way.

So last week I talked about revision and this week I am going to build on that topic and talk about how boundaries help us and our daughters to feel safe and secure. Boundaries help them to know what is expected of them and allow them to manage their time. Keep listening for ways to support yourself and your teen daughter… If you like what you hear, I would love to connect with you via instagram a...

This week I’m talking all things REVISION. For the next 8 weeks, I’ll be taking over this podcast to give you tools to help you manage the emotions, anxiety and pressure that are connected to exams so let’s buckle this in and enjoy..

It’s Easter 🐣 - a time to enjoy some much needed time off for both of you. You may be on holiday or you may just be needing time out, away from the pressures of life. Being conscious in this moment helps you to manage the stresses of life, rather than looking to the future or looking back at what was.. If like me you are totally knackered, listen to your body for what it needs and only do that. O...

So this week I’m going to talk to you about the difference between traditional parenting and the parenting that I've been talking to you about these last few weeks, which is an amalgamation of conscious and attachment parenting. If you would lie to know more about the Mums retreat I am hosting in June, check out the link www.positivetouch.net/teen-whisperer-retreat

This week I’ll be talking about the 3rd key in the Disconnection to Connection roadmap - Communication - as well as giving her space when she first comes home. I’ll introduce you to indirect questioning as it allows your daughter to open up more as you’re being more specific with what you want to know.

This week I thought I’d talk about all things Mum and showing up full not empty as a Mum to your teenage daughter. So what do I mean? Listen in to find out more…

Did you know that a recent study showed that screen use is as deadly as other addictions? We all know that social media has its good points but did you know why it has such an adverse reaction on our teen daughters? Listen in for these and other simple tools to help you manage screen time in your house.

Following a conversation with one of my clients, about tracking her daughter’s menstrual cycle, it got me thinking… When we know what our cycles are doing, we are better able to manage our energy. Listen in for more information to how being aware makes it far easier to recognise the symptoms and not put extra pressure on her. Easy eh?!

So in today’s episode I talk about the transition from being a child to an adult, and how it doesn’t just happen overnight. On this topic, I talk about the internet and how it is all around us. The internet has so many positives but of course there are a few negatives. Being aware of these negatives can help you as a Mum to support her so listen in…

This week it’s half term in the majority of the UK and hopefully you’re having some time relaxing. I had a Teen Whisperer coaching client this afternoon and she has got me thinking 💭 So as you know I’ve been planning a retreat for the past few weeks.. but what if this retreat over Mother’s Day was a weekend just for YOU as a Mum of a teen daughter? How would you feel about having a weekend away o...
