About This Podcast

Welcome to Conversations for Our Teens, a calm and curious space those who wish to raise teenagers to flourish in this modern world. Your host, Kate Boyd-Williams, has spent over two decades in a rather unique position—working in senior pastoral roles at elite UK and Swiss boarding schools, living alongside hundreds of teenagers and witnessing those late-night conversations when the truth finally comes out. Now a mother of two teenage daughters herself, and trained as a coach, sophrologist, and hypnotherapist, Kate translates that wisdom into practical tools you can use straight away. Each week, Kate shares real stories and actionable techniques to help you stay the guide amidst strong teenage emotions and helping you support and champion them to be the best versions of themselves - whatever that looks like. If you're ready to move from over-whelmed and second-guessing yourself, to confident and grounded, you're in exactly the right place.
