About

Teenagers Untangled is an audio hug for parents going through the teenage years. Rachel, mother of two teens and the Host and founder, is a former BBC Correspondent and parenting coach. Susie, mother of three teens, is a Mindfulness Coach and qualified psychotherapist.

In each episode Rachel takes a question we parents face and spend hours researching everything she can find on the topic, as if one of her children were struggling with the problem. Then Susie and Rachel discuss the realities of our own experiences in dealing with teens.

We're not perfect; we're muddling through like everyone else, but one thing we know for sure is that trying to understand the world through the eyes of our teenagers is one of the most powerful ways of creating a deep connection with them, and ultimately helping them succeed.

About the Hosts

Rachel Richards

Host

My main career was as a BBC Correspondent, World News Anchor for CNBC Europe, BBC World New Radio, and roving reporter/newsreader on local radio.

I’ve always been fascinated by parenting so loved being a Parenting Supercoach for Parent Gym, working in the most deprived boroughs of London.

I’m now the mother of two step-daughters and two teenagers. A failed dog-trainer (you try it in a house where everyone else gives them cheese) and terrible, but enthusiastic, gardener. I’m a long time lover of Ashtanga yoga, jogging, hiking, skiing, reading, music, and all types of adventurous travel.

I was born in Zambia and lived in six different countries by the age of ten, before settling in the UK.

Susie started practising mindfulness over a decade ago, after a particularly stressful time in her life. It was so effective that she decided to train in Mindfulness with the NHS and the Mindfulness in Schools project to become a Paws b and dot b practitioner, which enables her to teach mindfulness both to primary and secondary school children.

Susie teaches adult groups, 1:1s, families, in schools (children & teachers) and students (at the Guildhall College of Music & Drama).

She's also a qualified psychotherapist (from the Psychotherapeutic Institute in Copenhagen) and a trained musician (working and playing as a freelance viola player and chamber musician, as well as teaching children and adults).

Susie is mum to three children whom she has parented alone for 12 years
