Listener Reviews

I love the relatable way you discuss the issues. Love you ladies. Thank goodness I found your pod!

Greetings from Italy I am a single dad with a 12 year old son. Your podcast is incredibly useful in helping us. Info is exceptional, the guests always great and vitally the audio is clear. A professional production packed with powerful pointers - who said alliteration is dead!Thank you.Grazie.Antonio and son. We both benefit.

oh my gosh Rachel your podcast episode today could not have come on a better day thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ and then to make it even more miraculous the example that you gave in the end about the teenage daughter just starting to go out and the two podcast that you recommended are exactly the ones I need to listen to. Super grateful,

It is really good

I found your podcast only a few months ago and have listened to almost every episode since. It has been a wealth of information and support and such a calming voice to listen to on my daily commute. Such wonderful advice - I only wish I had found you years ago. My girls are now 16 and 18 years old and there is so much I have done incorrectly that seems to have caused huge chasms - I wish I could go back and start again but will take what I have learnt from you into hopefully a happier future. My natural urge to solve their problems immediately has back-fired enormously and I can see now I should have done so much more listening and so much less talking / judging. Thank-you both for sharing your balanced and mindful approach to life with us all.I am sharing this podcast far and wide now - and encouraging those with younger kids to start listening now.

This is the best podcast that I didn’t know that I needed. These different subject podcasts are so relevant to anyone with preteens or teens to just dip in and out when you’re faced with a challenging situation, which lets be honest happens about five times a week with teenagers. Educational, relatable, engaging with presenters and guests that are nonjudgemental. A fresh perspective and a little coparent in your pocket!! Fantastic!!

Brilliant!A lifeline for tricky parenting situations. Sanity saving, emotional parent support delivered in a warm & fun way. You have made such a difference to my parenting.I’m still on the rock face, with the ever changing situations to navigate & it’s wonderful not to do it alone. Each new thing that crops up brings me back here.Thank you - you’re doing a wonderful thing.Warm hugs back in return xxx.

I wanted to write to you to say how much I resonated with your episode about estranged parents and children. Your guest beautifully articulated the role of a parent to love children exactly as they are. It reminded me of this post:'Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you'd have. It's about understanding he is exactly the person he's supposed to be. And, if you're lucky, he might be the teacher who turns you into the person you're supposed to be.'The Water Giver

Hello! I'd like to say how awesome your podcast is. Wow, I can't believe I'm just discovering it. I sure could of used it 4 yrs ago probably. I've listened to around 15 episodes so far and it has been so enlightening. My son is 15 yrs old, 16 creeping up. The struggle has been real. I've already incorporated some of the things I've learned from your show and to my surprise I have seen light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much. I still have lots to learn and to put into play of course.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this episode. It was so helpful listening to your girls views and it helped me to prompt some conversations with my teens!Which is not easy as they do not like it when I try to talk about their devices!!

I have gained so many insights into being a parent, what my teens are going through and what they’re likely to go through. It’s reinforced my views but also given me a new perspective on what I could be doing differently. So many different subjects all handled in a very non judgmental and sensitive way. Thank you so much, every parent should listen to your podcasts.

I've just listened to your latest episode about no contact. It really is amazing and there are so many great points about the kids managing their parent's reactions, not giving up, communicating how proud we are of our 'kids' and how it's never too late. I think that was it - without just repeating the entire episode back to you.

I wanted to thank you and your girls for the podcast you did on Reading festival. As the parent of a first time festival goer it has been so helpful. All the advice for me and my son, but it just made the festival feel more real. I could imagine it all a bit more, never having done a festival myself. And it was just getting to the point where I was more concerned about this than GCSE results - your podcast has restored order again, thank you!

Subject: Thank YouRachel and Susie, you are both amazing.I discovered your podcast a number of years ago, right when you first started, at a time when I was struggling to be an effective and understanding parent to a teenager. Since then, I have looked forward to each new episode dropping and have listened religiously each week while walking my dog.Even when I think a particular episode might not be relevant at the time, I listen anyway and I always, always learn something new or take away an important message or tool.Two years ago, I reached out to you when my son, now 14, experienced unexpected cyber trauma. You guided me on how to handle the situation and suggested a process I could work through with Sally. We had a very successful outcome, and for that, I am deeply grateful.I’m also a secondary school teacher, and Teenagers Untangled has become a major contributor to my personal professional learning. I often wonder how I could ever repay you for providing such an exceptional free resource.So thank you, ladies. You have made me a better parent and a better teacher.

Such brilliant conversation! Major recognition, from working with my husband with 3 kids and no close family help 🙏

Your latest episode with your girls was such a breath of fresh air—sniffles and all! Hearing Amelia power through a bad cold to talk about body changes and early puberty was heartwarming, and your honest discussion about toxic friendships and being authentic really struck a chord. It’s clear you and Susie don’t shy away from the tricky, emotion-charged moments all parents face with teens.

I love the podcast and I particularly like the input from your daughters. They are great!!! Thank you

This show has helped me so much with raising my teens. I have two more to come and know it will continue to be an invaluable resource. Please keep it coming! Grateful parent of 4!

I love it

Thanks Ladies. Super helpful and refreshing

Very informative. Useul not only for parents but for teenagers as they start 'adulting'.

I have listened to practically every episode. I specifically appreciate that you have done the time consuming work of reading the books and doing the research and just give us the main take aways.Very thought provoking.Can you please do an episode on Entitled teens; how to prevent in the first place and what to do if you have one. My 19 year old in her first job feels that she should be earning way more than minimum wage.Also a bit of feedback on learning to drive -I have had some lovely together time with my daughter when we take a rest in between practice drives in new places. It’s a great opportunity to spend chill time together.

A big thank you to your daughter for her recent podcast on relationship breakups. She spoke so openly and bravely, I really loved her insights. My daughter is coming to the end of Year 11, but so much of your daughters experience resonated on so many levels. I look forward to listening to it with her. I think these insights will be helpful coming from someone a couple of years older. I’ve listened for a long time, but I listened extra hard today and thank you both for that 🩷
