In this episode, Jude speaks with parenting coach, Lelia Schott, about engaging with our teenagers - a time often accompanieed with many emotions (from both teens and parents), boundaries being pushed, connection sometimes being tested, but also a time where our teens need these deep connections with both their peers, and their families - the family being the safe harbour that it provides through holding boundaries, while maintaining and working on deeper connects and relationships.

Lelia reminds us that a lot of the time this also includes connecting with ourselves and being aware of what we’re experiencing as parents..

What is my child feeling?

What are they needing?

What are they believing?

And then, what am I feeling?

What am I needing?

What am I believing?

And how can we connect…?

Lelia is a parenting coach whose work is all about helping people to reclaim (inner) child and parent wellbeing. As an empathetic listener and dedicated therapist, she loves working with people seeking a deeper connection to themselves and others.
