It's devastating when something terrible happens to your child because you have a dream for them that their life will be perfect. But it wasn't until that big thing happened, I realized I can't control the big stuff.
Picture this: your child is seven, and you're already dreading the teenage years. Helen Wills, an award-winning UK family lifestyle blogger, found herself in that exact scenario. Fast forward to today, and she's here to tell you that parenting teens isn't the nightmare you might expect. In this engaging episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff chats with Helen about her journey from fear to understanding as she navigates the ups and downs of raising teenagers.
Helen started her blog, Actually Mummy, back in 2011, initially as a way to cope with the isolation of early motherhood. Her writing has evolved alongside her children, capturing both the hilarity and the challenges of parenting. Now, as the mother of a teenage son and daughter, Helen shares her wisdom on letting go of control and learning to trust your kids.
She dives into the importance of seeking help when emotions run high and how exercise can be a game-changer for mental health. If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed by the thought of your child growing up, Helen's candid insights and practical tips will offer you a fresh perspective. Tune in for a conversation that's as relatable as it is reassuring.
