Helen

Colourful midlife mum to two teens. Determined not to do as she's told and slide off into invisible old age. Much cooler at 50 than she was at 15. Host of the Teenage Kicks podcast, about mental health for teenagers.

Hi! I’m Helen.

I’m a parenting coach, a lifestyle blogger and a (sometimes terrified) mum of two teenagers who are leaving me in the dust faster than you can say empty nest. Some days I survive on really good coffee. I love bright colours, long chats, and walks in the sunshine. At 50 (plus!) I’m not slowing down – I’m going up a gear in life now my kids are older – who’s with me?
