  • EP 98 - Nellie Harden - You only have 6570 Days to Build a Fully Fledged Adult!
    Feb 1 2022

    Technically, we only have 6570 days until our child turns 18.
    How we spend those days is crucial to building a strong foundation so that our kids are best equipped to becoming fully fledged adults.

    No pressure!

    In this episode I chat with Nellie Harden where we discuss how best to 'flip the coin' and use the days that we have left more effectively.
    It doesn't have to be hard work and nose to the grindstone - in fact, it's better if it's not.

    Nellie explains how keeping it real, and removing the power struggles is the best way to build better connection with your teen - so that together you can make the best use of the time you have left, before they 'fly the nest' for good.
