<p>OMG it happens overnight. One minute you have a cute little girl and next thing you know you are mother to a teenager … and life as we know it changes completely.</p>

<p>It can be so hard to know what’s going on in our teenagers heads. So difficult to know what to say and how to help them.</p>

<p>That’s why I chat with Maya Kiusalaas, author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Free-girl-story-finding-self-love/dp/1974229890" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Free The Girl</a> and blogger at <a href="http://www.mymondaylove.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">My Monday Love</a>. She talks to us in this podcast as a kind of mediator between us and our teenagers.</p>

<p>You can listen to us discuss the mixed emotions of the teenage years; the (sometimes inexplicable) lack of self-worth that teenagers have; the biggest issues that teenagers face today and how you can help them; what you can do to connect with your teenagers on ‘their’ level; Leah’s take-aways tips that you can put into action straight-away to improve your relationship with your teenager.</p>
