  • A Must-Listen!

    Kate is a rare gem — incredibly personable, warm, and instantly likeable.

The way she explains things is so relatable and clear, it feels like chatting with a wise friend who truly gets it. I’ve walked away from every episode with something valuable.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Help Your Anxious Child Without Rescuing Them
Q: What is a practical approach parents can use when their child says, I can't do it?
Pause, breathe, ask the child what they can do, and collaboratively map a small, manageable next step to build confidence.
How to Help Your Anxious Child Without Rescuing Them
Q: Could helping your anxious child avoid something today make it harder for them tomorrow?
Yes, avoidance may reduce distress in the moment but it tends to strengthen anxiety in the long term by depriving the child of learning that they can cope with the situation.
REPLAY - Unlocking Effective Communication Between Teens and Parents
Q: What makes the first step of calmness so crucial, and how do parents practically implement it in tense moments?
Calmness is crucial because it prevents escalation; parents can implement it by using strategies like focusing on their senses, grounding techniques, breathwork, and pausing before reacting to create a more productive conversation.
REPLAY - Unlocking Effective Communication Between Teens and Parents
Q: How did you begin to integrate coaching into your work with teens and what does your five-step process start with?
The five-step process starts with settling your own emotions to respond calmly, then observing and stating the situation, followed by getting curious about the teen's perspective, validating their feelings, and finally guiding them to generate their own solutions.
REPLAY - Is it Time Australia Banned Smacking?
Q: What alternatives can parents use to set boundaries without violence?
In the moment, set clear limits, then separate emotions from behavior, use calm and breathing to reduce anger, validate feelings, explain why a limit exists, and later discuss better strategies or repair when needed.
