In this powerful and deeply practical episode of Tea with Jules, I’m joined by one of Australia’s most trusted parenting voices, Maggie Dent - educator, bestselling author, and fierce advocate for raising emotionally healthy kids.

We talk about the realities of parenting tweens and teens today - the phones, the parties, the pornography, the pressure - and how to stay grounded when everything feels overwhelming.

This conversation is honest. It’s confronting at times. It’s also incredibly reassuring.
If you’re in the trenches of parenting adolescents (or heading there soon), this one is for you.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Phones & Social Media
• Pornography & Sexual Development
• Alcohol & Parties
• Grief, Loss & Emotional Depth
• Consequences vs Punishment
• Body Image & Self-Worth

If it resonated, share it with a friend who’s navigating the teenage years too.

And as always, teammates - we’ve got this.
