Don’t be that parent who in September says…

“You’ve done no work all summer?!”

Your teen needs an easy way to take control of their revision. On their terms, but supported by you.

And because I want to support you and your teen, I’ve created the Pick & Mix Summer Revision Snack Bar guide that ticks all the boxes:

✅ flexible
✅ fun
✅ promotes wellbeing
✅ builds confidence

Head to the link in bio to get yours or comment SNACK BAR and I’ll send you the link.

So many parents assume summer is a time to rest and recharge, and it absolutely should be!

Buuuut for teens, doing absolutely nothing academic for 6 weeks can actually make starting Year 11 feel really overwhelming.

Not because they forgot their schoolwork (although most do 👀) but because they actually forgot how capable they really are.

That’s why I created a flexible Pick & Mix Summer Revision Guide. It’s all about short bursts, creative options, and wellbeing built in (of course 💁🏻‍♀️).

✨ I’ll be sharing it tomorrow. Follow so you don’t miss it. Comment below if you’d like me to tell tou when it’s here!

If your teen is struggling with their self-esteem, here’s two things you can do at home to help.

Low self-esteem is identity built on a shaky foundation that they’re not good enough.

You can help to begin building this foundation back up, one brick at a time.

Here’s two things I often recommend to parents I work with:

✨ Teens need to know who they are beyond appearance or achievement. So start a habit where you make something about their character, like “You’re so thoughtful” or “ I saw how kind you were to your sister” or “You’re brave for even trying.”
Keep it short and genuine. They might roll their eyes teenager-style, but it will land.

✨ Instead of compliments (which can feel fake or forced to a teen who is struggling), ask “What’s something you’ve done this week that made you feel proud?”
This helps to bring focus from how they look to what they do.

And don’t forget that staying calm and regulated is already doing more than you know. I know it’s hard!

If this hits home for you, save it for later or share it with a parent who needs to hear this today. 💛

Being the “emotionally stable one” in the house is a full-time job… especially when your own nervous system is running on empty.

I’m a wellbeing coach for teenagers, mum to two little girls, and still very much a human!

These are the everyday things I actually do to stay steady when life feels a bit too much (especially as a parent).

No hacks, no perfection, just real tools that help me not spiral.

Because when we know how to calm our bodies and minds, we show up as the version of ourselves we actually like.

If you’re an overwhelmed parent trying to stay calm for your teens, this might just give you the reminders you need.

Share with a parent friend who needs this, or save it for the days when you’re about to lose it.

If you ever feel like you’re one tiny problem away from snapping… this will make sense. 🪣

I use the stress bucket metaphor with teens, parents, and even in schools. It’s such a helpful way to picture what’s going on when emotions feel too big, too fast, and too much.

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to recognise your emotional load, spot the warning signs early, and use practical coping strategies to stop things from spilling over.

It’s simple. It makes sense. And it can make a big difference, especially during busy or stressful seasons (hello exam season!).

Want the printable version of the Stress Bucket Activity? It’s my gift to you.
Click the link in my bio (no sign ups needed) or just comment bucket below and I’ll send it straight to you.

Feel free to share this with another parent who’s juggling a lot, or pass it on to your teen if they’re finding things heavy lately.

Answering a student who can’t stop thinking about the exam AFTER it’s done.

She’s not alone. Lots of teens feel this spiral after an exam, especially when the outcome feels uncertain.

But here’s the thing:
Your brain’s job is to protect you.
It replays everything to try and feel safe or find the “right answer.”
But the test is done. And all that mental energy?
It deserves a new job now.

Let the feelings move.
Move your body.
Give your brain something helpful to plan.

This is exactly what I teach in sessions.
Not “think positive” 🙄 but real, science-backed ways to reset the worry loop.

💛 Share this with someone who’s spiralling post-exam.
💛 Save it for results week.

We had such a great time, and had amazing feedback 🙌🎉

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated and shared our ‘From Panic to Power’ session on exam anxiety last night! 🫶

I’m so pleased to share that we exceeded our fundraising target and raised £130 for 🙌

It’s not too late to donate (link in my bio) and push this number a little higher 😉

If you’d like a copy of the recording and resources from the session, drop me a message. 📧 I’ll be sending them out a little later today.

A massive thank you to teen emotional wellbeing coach, qualified teacher and all round amazing human Camila who led an insightful session on understanding our brains, exam anxiety and how to manage your mindset to build a resilient exam approach. I know everyone found it SO valuable. I am so proud to call you my friend. 👏

Feeling so grateful this morning that I get to do things like this, with people like this and help young people in a way that is so aligned with my values and passions.

I sort of stumbled into teaching. I loved Biology and wanted to share that, but it wasn’t a lifelong dream or ambition and more of a snap decision because I didn’t get the PhD place I wanted.

Ultimately, these failures push us in the direction we need to go and I found a real passion over the years. Yes for teaching. But mostly for instilling confidence in the young people I worked with and helping them believe in themselves and all of the wonderful things that made them unique.

Because I do truly believe we all have gifts to share with the world 🫶 and if you’re feeling a bit lost, maybe you’ve just not recognised or found yours yet. ☺️

Happy Saturday all ☀️
