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
