Thursday, 2 April, 2026
Your teenager came to you upset. You said "go sort yourself out." Here's what they actually needed.In this episode, Lindsay sits down with Laura Ollinger — teen and parent wellbeing coach, speaker and mom of FOUR teenagers (yes, all at once) — for a conversation that is equal parts real talk and practical gold.Laura shares how a personal tragedy and her daughter's anxiety brought her back to school in her 40s, and why she built a coaching practice that works with both kids AND parents — because coaching a teen once a week means nothing if the home environment isn't on board.This one is a must-listen if your teen has ever come home emotional and you didn't quite know what to do with it.What We CoverThe Big 5 stressors teens are navigating right now The think-feel-do-have cycle and how subconscious beliefs quietly run the showHow to listen for "black and white" language in your teen and what to do when you hear itWhy emotional fluency at the dinner table is one of the most powerful things you can buildThe difference between "was there anything good?" and "what was good?" (tiny, but it changes everything)What a calm, connected family culture actually looks like — spoiler: it's not perfect, it's presentHow keeping an emotional pulse on your kids, without judgment, is success worth celebratingKey TakeawayYou don't need a perfect family. You need a connected one. If you know your son is tired and worried about algebra, and your daughter had a rough day before she even walked through the door — that awareness IS the work.
