SEASON FINALE:

As parents, we want our kids to have strong, supportive friendships that uplift and empower them. But how can we help them recognise the difference between a healthy friendship and a toxic one? And why does this matter so much—especially when it comes to bullying?

In this episode of The Courage Edition Podcast, I’m diving into the crucial role friendships play in your child’s self-worth, confidence, and resilience against bullying. We’ll cover:

✅ The key differences between quality friendships and toxic ones.
✅ Why having the right friends can protect your child from bullying.
✅ How self-awareness helps kids identify red flags in friendships.
✅ The importance of boundaries in fostering healthy relationships.
✅ How YOU, as a parent, can guide your child in choosing the right friends.

Plus, I’ll share actionable strategies you can start using today to help your child navigate friendships with confidence.

Bullying doesn’t just stop when the school bell rings. The way schools handle bullying can either empower children or leave them feeling unheard and unsupported. But do you know what approaches your child’s school is using—and whether they actually work?

In this episode of The Courage Edition Podcast, I’m breaking down 9 different school approaches to tackling bullying, from traditional punishment-based methods to more restorative and proactive strategies. You’ll learn:

✅ Why school policies matter when it comes to bullying prevention.
✅ The pros and cons of Direct Sanctions, School Tribunals, Restorative Approaches, Mediation, and more.
✅ How some schools focus on strengthening the victim—and why that alone isn’t enough.
✅ How Positive Behavior Support (PBIS) and non-punitive approaches can help shift school culture.
✅ The one question you should ask your child’s school to ensure they have a solid bullying prevention plan.

We’ll also talk about what you, as a parent, can do to advocate for a more effective anti-bullying strategy at your child’s school. Plus, I’ll share some game-changing resources that can help you and your child feel more empowered and supported.

Welcome back to another episode of The Courage Edition Podcast! In this episode, I have a special guest Olivia on the podcast. Olivia is a mum I have worked with to help her and her daughter overcome bullying. After Olivia’s daughter found herself being excluded and bullied out of her friendship group, she often came home in tears and venting about her bad day at school. Olivia knew something needed to be done to help her daughter through this challenging time. In this episode, we discuss Olivia’s daughter’s journey in rebuilding her inner strength and deeper understanding of her circle of control.

Welcome back to another episode of The Courage Edition Podcast! In this episode I wanted to talk about the 5 things that I wish I knew when I was being bullied. Letting go of expectation, taking your power back and finding a deeper understanding as to why the bullies are bullying, are just a few things that I wish I knew at the time. Although it’s valid for children to feel like no one cares about what they are going through, most of the time it’s because, we as adults, don’t know what to do to help our child overcome bullying. These 5 times are ones I swear by to help with conflict resolution, and have helped many of my clients start to get their power back and overcome bullies.

Welcome back to another episode of The Courage Edition Podcast! In this episode I wanted to cover a topic that I believe to be the least effective when it comes to dealing with a bully. Self defence is a solution taught to children as a way of sticking up to their bully, but this in fact results in more harm than good. I run you through 2 strategies, plus a bonus strategy, to help your child to start rebuilding their inner strength. Beginning the journey to rebuilding your child's inner strength is the most impactful step to not only stop the effect that bullying has now, but also gives them the foundation to deal with conflict in a healthy way throughout their life.

In this first episode of The Courage Edition Podcast, I wanted to open up about my journey with bullying and how it became my mission to support children and parents going through bullying. I, like many others, have had traumatic experiences with bullying in school that led to many struggles throughout my life. After discovering my passion for ensuring no kid has the same experience, I decided it was time to offer support to those going through a similar experience. Now I educate parents on how to parent courageously and support their kids to overcome bullying and friendship conflicts.
