Teen Whisperer

Why pushing yourself out of your comfort zone grows your competence and confidence in your abilities and growth mindset. If you disrespect yourself and your needs, what will your teen daughter do? You got it 100%…they disrespect themselves. So if you want her to improve her behaviour, improve yours. After all her behaviours are normally a reflection of what you need to improve on in your own life....

Please excuse the barking at the beginning of this episode - several motorbikes went past. Being authentic and ME though, I have kept in in otherwise I would fall into that trap of perfectionism. This week I’ll be talking about a GROWTH vs FIXED mindset and how you go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset? What helps YOU? Putting yourself first is the key 🔑 to you moving into a growth mindset...

Feeling discombobulated 😕 after the launch of my 4 part series fell flat on its face before its success. I could have taken it to heart ♥️ and made it my problem but I didn’t. Why?! It’s not the right time for you guys and that’s ok, so I have made the decision to run Teen Whisperer on a termly approach alongside the school/college timetable. It will start up again at the beginning of September a...

Connection is where we put it all together following the last three 🔑 of YOU, UNDERSTANDING and COMMUNICATION. You can’t have connection without working your way through the other 3 key stages. Making time for shared activities means making space for each other; you don’t have to be with each other 24/7. They need to know that whatever they do, you’ll still love ❤️ them. If you like what you hear...

Here it is, the episode you’ve been waiting for.. the one on communication. Apologies it’s a day late ⏰ I didn’t feel the bestest yesterday so took some time for myself. I can’t expect you guys to stick to my 4 key stages, if I don’t stick to it myself.

UNDERSTANDING is key 🔑 2 of my brand NEW workshop The Teen Whisperer to reconnect with your teen daughter. Over the last two years I have gone from a relationship where I feared my daughter’s kick offs and treading on eggshells, to one that is full of connection, trust and respect based on me understanding what’s going on for her. Our daughters have so much going for them right now, from their de...

Key 🔑 1 - YOU - putting your needs first ahead of everyone else always. So who puts their needs at the bottom of the pile day in, day out? Yup am guessing there’s lots of hands going up… How many of us think we shouldn’t spend money on ourselves? Yup that’s me too. It’s taken me years of working on myself to get myself out of this funk. It’s hard putting yourself at the bottom of the pile always....

Welcome to this podcast with a brand new name - the Teen Whisperer - originally named Stop Juggling, Start Living. It’s a safe space for Mums of teen girls to feel heard and supported whatever is going on in their lives.

A podcast for Mums of teen girls so we can build a community of like minded Mums in a safe space where you feel heard and supported, whatever you are going through right now.

So this podcast was initially set up to teach parent carers how simple self help tools regain their time BUT unless you recognise yourself as one, you won’t recognise that this podcast is for you. So…a name change is needed from Stop Juggling Start Living to Teen Whisperer to give all Mums of teen girls a chance to reconnect with themselves and their daughters. Listen to find out more x

How are you doing this week? How’s your child managing right now? Do you ever feel isolated or on your own as a parent carer? Do you ever feel like no one understands what you are going through? Listen in to find out more about how we can help each other. If you want to connect with me, feel free to email me at rachel@positivetouch.net

When our children are struggling it affects us too and that’s ok. We absorb their energy and the normal re-action is to try to ‘fix’ them. What’s important is that it’s ok to feel 💩 and it’s totally natural. By making space for ourselves we can free up vital headspace and energy to do all those other jobs.

Why connecting with and guiding our children is paramount to working with them. It gives them back control and be in charge of what’s happening for them. *Apologies for the background noise*

Self care isn’t selfish and shouldn’t take up too much time or money. If it does and it’s stressing you out, it’s not right for you. Even the smallest of activities helps to build resilience and lower stress levels giving you back quality time and space to focus on other things.

Why simple self help tools helps to feed your soul so you can focus on everything else around you. If you would like to connect with me please email at rachel@positivetouch.net or meet me on the gram at positivetouch.naturally

So how have you done this month of the new year? Have you been able to make a little more space for yourself and if you haven’t, don’t worry. Don’t have a go at yourself, don’t feel worthless, it’s life as we know it.

This is an *emotive* episode telling you why I am passionate about working with teen girls and inspiring them to believe in their own self worth and who they are, so they can NO when they need to.

It's ok to feel poo 💩and not feel like you can *do* it all, we're not supposed to. It's society that makes us *feel* hopeless and *worthless* because we get told we can do it all and succeed. So if we don't manage it (which we won't) we feel a failure - I'm here to categorically say you're not.

I know there wasn’t a podcast on Wednesday and actually that’s ok. I didn’t belittle myself and I didn’t put myself down. Found out why I didn’t and how I did it…

Simple ways to start emptying your stress bucket in that moment…

Why working with our teens and children is like training your dog….
