Fiercely embracing your uniqueness with Becky Tilley

Do less, not more to look after yourself with Tricia Murray

This week, I'm joined by Tricia Murray who is a Mind Coach and Business Mentor. Tricia can help you take control of your life or business and transform internal chaos and clutter into self-belief, confidence, and complete clarity. She’s a mum to 4 boys and lives near Edinburgh.

We dive into:

• What it's like being a mum to 4 children and our favourite things about being twin mums
• Feeling fulfilled by other things in life that aren't linked to motherhood and how it gives us a sense of identity and purpose
• Limiting our own external and internal pressures by giving ourselves permission to opt out of things when we're feeling depleted or can't fit them in
• Delegating tasks to our partners or other family members and letting go of the control and sense of responsibility associated with these tasks
• Letting go of the idea of being the perfect parent and recognising that even though we are prone to mistakes, we're still doing our best
• Our relationship with social media and how we can spend less time on our phones by being intentional with our phone usage

Positive reflections on parenting teens with Franky Shanahan

In this week's episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Franky Shanahan who I have been following online for years.

Franky is an experienced copywriter and digital content creator who’s spent the last 12 years helping ambitious business owners and solopreneurs communicate with their ideal clients. She lives in Bristol with her husband and their two teenage children.

I wanted to pick Franky's brains about what it's like parenting teenagers because, with a 9-year-old and the preteen years pending, I'm feeling a little daunted by it all. I loved her positive reflections on parenting teens and that it can be a beautiful and joyous experience despite the usual teen stereotypes that we regularly hear about.

We talk about:

• Dealing with the emotional and practical changes that come with watching your children transition into the teenage years
• How to let go and grieve over the fact that your children need you less as they carve out their own lives
• Parenting teens isn't all about the typical moody stereotypes we're shown in the media. There are lots of positives
• Tips on how to deal with your children becoming teenagers

Connect with Franky on Instagram and check out her website. She also cohosts Friends With Business Benefits with Charlie Swift.
