“Parenting through the teen years is not for the faint hearted. In fact, I think it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Not because my teenagers were particularly hard, but because my whole journey through my childhood, through my own teen years and all the generational stuff that came from my family was hard. I had so much information at my fingertips and experience of working with teens that this should have been enough to navigate the teen years with ease.

“My mother and I have the type of relationship every parent would want to have with their child. But it wasn’t always so. It was a decision my mother made when our relationship broke down when I was 13 and doing what all typical teens do. She went into full ‘spy mode’ and I went more and more deeply undercover. What changed the trajectory of our relationship was that my mum decided that ‘her story’ wasn’t going to be ‘our story’. She figured out why she was triggered and came to understand that her behaviour was directed from a place of fear.
