Ask Rachel anythingHas your teenager come home upset because their friends have suddenly turned against them? Or have you heard that your child is part of a group chat where everyone is being urged to stop talking to someone? When a friendship conflict spreads through a whole group—and onto social media—it can be hard for parents to know what to say, when to step in, and how to help without making things worse.In this episode of Teenagers Untangled, I'm joined by Dr Dominique Thompson, a physician and expert in supporting young people, to explore why teenagers can be so quick to exclude someone, and why it can feel so difficult to stand apart from the group. We talk about the role of peer pressure, black-and-white thinking and social media—and the difference between challenging hurtful behavior and shaming someone.If your child is being ostracized, you'll hear how to support them, work with the school and help them find other sources of connection. And if you're worried your teen might be joining in, we discuss how to start a conversation that encourages empathy without simply lecturing or blaming them.We'll also share practical ways to make home a safe place for difficult conversations—and a simple question that might help a young person pause before they join a pile-on.If this piece has raised anything difficult for you or your child, Samaritans are available 24/7 on 116 123 (UK).If you want to read Rachel's expanded thoughts on this topic, click hereDr Dominique ThompsonSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Rick Maderis has spent more than twenty years inside adidas, Nike, Jordan Brand and Curry Brand, working on the graphics, color and storytelling that rarely get a name attached. Now he runs Burnside Knives in Portland, and you can see the sneaker brain in every piece.Rick and I played phone tag for close to a year before this happened, and it was worth the wait. We talk about the fire drills that end up producing better work, tilting the adidas trefoil fifteen degrees and hearing about it, why retros carry more pressure than new shoes, the Doernbecher Air Jordan 15, and asking whether you're the right person for a project before you say yes. Then it's knives: how a sneaker graphic designer ended up with KNIVES on his license plate, why the handle is a magma grip and not elephant print, and the Lost Lake Easter egg hidden in the Cabrillo 2.CHAPTERS00:00 Coming up: the Doernbecher kid, and the other side of the river00:30 Why this conversation took a year01:57 The conversation starts03:39 A coloring book and a grandfather03:57 Art school to adidas, Jordan and Curry Brand06:27 Is getting moved around good or bad for creatives?10:46 Big brands vs small teams: who actually does the work12:35 Fire drills and better work17:41 Redrawing a grail Jordan pattern from scratch20:26 Jason Mayden: make them feel something22:11 Tilting the trefoil 15 degrees25:13 Sharpening every single edge26:24 Breaking the Jordan formula30:26 Why kids should watch the WNBA36:34 CCS, 5 a.m. phones and skate catalogs38:47 The Doernbecher Air Jordan 1543:12 Lewis Latimer, Bruce Lee, and asking first47:37 Why heritage collections get cut first50:50 How he got into PENSOLE55:24 Leaks, mockups and Easter at the drugstore1:01:08 How Burnside Knives started1:04:20 Why it's called Burnside1:07:15 KNIVES on the license plate1:09:45 Making something that outlives us1:14:14 Magma grip, not elephant print1:20:50 The Lost Lake Easter egg1:26:00 Sneakers made us better storytellers1:33:02 Where to find RickFIND RICKRick's work: https://www.rickmaderis.comBurnside Knives: https://burnsideknives.comInstagram: @maderis and @burnsideknivesHis eyewear side project, IIVNI: https://iivni.comMORE FROM MEWatch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickatSneakerHistoryThe Sneaker Newsletter: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.comSneaker History: https://sneakerhistory.comMy first book, Small Luxuries: Sneakers, out October 2026: https://bookshop.org/a/122044/9798317900854Rick sent me the Burnside knife we talk about in this episode.

Ask Rachel anythingIf your son seems apathetic, glued to gaming, or strangely unbothered by school, you are not alone, and you are not imagining it. I decided to create this discussion because I have been contacted by so many parents about the lacklustre attitudes they are seeing in their sons, looking for advice on what to do.Around the world, boys are falling behind academically, drifting socially, and retreating into screens. Meanwhile, girls are outstripping boys at school and university, and often hiding their own struggles under high achievement (a topic I recently covered both here with Dr Tara Porter and here with Dr Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell.)In this episode, I talk to Dr Leonard Sax—family physician, psychologist, and author of Boys Adrift and Why Gender Matters—about why so many boys are losing motivation and the practical things parents can do about it, starting now.You'll learn:What's really going on with boys today and why we should all care, because this isn't just a schooling issue; it's a future-partner, future-father, future-society issue.How modern schooling can switch boys off.Gaming: when it's harmless and when it's stealing your son's life, including clear, research-backed limits and rules you can put in place at home.ADHD or something else? The hidden role of sleep and screens.Masculinity, role models, and “good men” in a disrespectful culture.Porn, AI “girlfriends”, and the pull away from real relationships.Most importantly: how to pull your son back into real life.Dr Sax published his first version of this book twenty years ago and the issues it described; falling male achievement, rising screen immersion, AI companions, and collapsing couple relationships, are accelerating rather than levelling off.The habits and boundaries we choose while our sons are still at home may shape not just his grades, but his ability to form healthy relationships, be a good partner and father, and build a life he cares about in the real world.If you're worried about an unmotivated, gaming-obsessed, or emotionally flat son, this conversation will give you clarity, language, and concrete steps you can start using today.Don't forget to share this with anyone who is struggling with the issues or who might find it helpful.Link to my Substack where you can find all of the notes and a handy PDF cheat sheet for parentingSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingAre you trying so hard to be a good parent that you might be doing too much for your tween or teen, and accidentally making life harder for both of you?In this episode of Parenting Teenagers Untangled, Rachel Richards talks with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Tara Porter about her new book "Good Enough" and why good enough parenting is actually the best kind of parenting.Drawing on more than 25 years working in adolescent mental health, Tara explains how so many teens—whatever their diagnosis—secretly feel they are not “enough”: not clever enough, organized enough, pretty enough, or successful enough. She links this to a wider achievement-obsessed culture, fueled by:An education system caught in a “grade arms race”Social media's like-and-kudos economyThe professionalization of parenting and the tsunami of advice aimed at parentsAgainst this backdrop, Tara shares her three core principles of good enough parenting:A good enough attitude – Letting go of perfection, resisting the urge to optimize every aspect of your child's life, and accepting that zigzags and setbacks are normal.Relationship-based parenting – Prioritizing connection over outcomes, being “like wallpaper” in the background: present, warm, and available without crowding them or trying to control everything.Firm and kind boundaries – Finding the balance between warmth and firmness (authoritative parenting), gradually letting go of authority through the teen years so that by adulthood, your child is guided by their own internal compass, not your rules.Rachel and Tara explore:Rescuing vs building resilienceTwo common struggle patterns in teensThe perfectionist achiever The rebellious non-complier How to set boundaries that still protect the relationshipBetter conversations with teensTara's two key listening tools:Empathy – stepping into your teen's perspective, so they feel genuinely understood.Curiosity – asking open questions rather than jumping in with solutions.Rachel adds the idea of “LUFU – Listen Until they Feel Understood”, and both discuss why advice rarely lands until a teen first feels deeply heard.Mental health labels vs hope and growthRachel's personal blog on getting the balance right Dr Tara PorterSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingWe're living through an age where it can feel like our teenagers' entire lives are happening behind a screen we can't see. Meanwhile mental health problems in teens are a rising problem that is being blamed on their devices. The instinctive response for many of us is to clamp down: ban certain apps, monitor every move, or take away devices altogether.But as Professor Candice Odgers put it so powerfully:“You can't ban your way out of a mental health crisis. You have to build instead.”In this Wonder Room conversation Katharine Radice and I explore how parents can move beyond panic about phones and toward curious, constructive conversations that help teens feel safe enough to be honest.These are some of the core things we cover in this episode:Shifting focus from the phone to the childPhone use is often a symptom of underlying distress or needs, not the core problem.Moving from monitoring to understandingHours and apps matter less than the quality of your teen's relationship with their online world and how it makes them feel.Creating conditions for honesty instead of forcing liesAvoid loaded, judgmental questions and big emotional reactions that make teens hide or lie about what they're doing online.Naming the role of algorithms and external forcesAsk “What is the algorithm feeding you?” to shift some responsibility away from the teen and toward the tech design, making honest conversations safer.Scaffolding self-reflection and self-regulationUse curious questions (“Are you stuck?”, “Any surprises in your screen time?”) to help teens build lifelong skills in reviewing and adjusting their own digital habits.For my Fearless Parenting community members I have gathered the key ideas and given you practical questions you can use tonight with your teen.Katherine has a Substack full of help and ideas for parents of teenagersSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingAre smartphones and social media really damaging our teenagers' mental health – or are we looking in the wrong place? In this episode, Rachel Richards talks with Professor Candice Odgers, a leading expert on adolescent mental health in the digital age, to unpack what decades of research actually show about teens, tech and wellbeing.We explore why today's teenagers are doing better than many headlines suggest, the real size of the link between phones, social media, anxiety and depression, and why offline risks are the biggest predictors of online problems. Candice explains how family stress, academic pressure, inequality, climate anxiety and adult mental health all play a powerful role in teen distress – and why focusing all our fear on phones can distract us from where we can genuinely make a difference.You'll hear practical guidance on monitoring vs. connection, how to talk with teens about their online lives without pushing them away, what “ready for a phone” really means, and how social media affects girls and body image. If you feel overwhelmed by scary stories about screens, this conversation will help you move from panic to evidence‑based, compassionate parenting.Candice Odgers  via her website or on SubstackMy substack:Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingAs a teenager, I grew up in a home with almost no routines. No one talked about what needed to happen when, and I remember constantly thinking, “What am I supposed to do now?” Life felt like reinventing the wheel every day. I didn't feel safe, and I felt a lot of energy went into trying to cope in the chaos.Now, as a parent and host of Teenagers Untangled, I've come to see routines not as dreary box‑ticking exercises, but as powerful tools for connection, calm, and joy. In this Wonder Room conversation, I sat down with teacher and parent Katharine Radice to explore how routines, habits, and rituals can serve our teenagers—and us.You can find all of the notes and recommendations made in this bonus episode by clicking here:Sign up for free emails to let you know when a new episode comes out www.teenagersuntangled.comSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingIf your teenage daughter says, “I have anxiety,” “my ADHD was out of control today,” or calls a friend “toxic,” it can feel both strangely sophisticated and oddly shallow at the same time. She has language. She has labels. But somehow, you're still not sure what's really going on inside her.In this episode with psychiatrist Dr Suzanne Garfinkel-Crowell, author of Girlhood Translated: Understanding Girls in the Age of Therapy Speak and Self-Diagnosis, we pulled back the curtain on what this language is doing for girls — and what it's doing to them.I particularly loved Suzanne's tip for us parents:‘The biggest problem with therapy speak is when it's a conversation stopper, because really, these words should be conversation starters.'In the discussion she gives us parents ideas on how to move beyond the language our kids are using, and help them understand what's really going on. This isn't an “anti-diagnosis” conversation. It's about understanding how the language of mental health, the DSM, and social media are shaping girlhood, and how we as parents can respond in a way that brings us closer instead of shutting our daughters down.Dr Suzanne Garfinkle-CrowellIf you'd like written notes to remind you about the points in this episode, or you'd like to think more about it, come to my SubstackSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingThey're the oldest in their primary and suddenly our babies have to cope with being the youngest in their senior school. It's a big leap, and it comes just at the point when our kids are becoming much more aware of themselves and others with a big dollop of puberty-driven insecurity.It's easy to worry about them making friends, coping with their newfound indepenence; complicated timetables, different classrooms, homework, buses and remembering their passwords. Here to help us figure it all out is Katherine Radice, author of the Parents Guide to Exam Stress long time teacher and mum of two teenage boys. Just five of things we cover in the episode are:Realistic expectations for starting secondary schoolWhy trying to make the “perfect” first day backfiresTeaching kids that “lumps and bumps” are normal and part of adjustmentIdentity, uniform, and appearanceHow brands/clothes (e.g., specific shoes, jackets) are tied to teen identity and belongingWhen and why it's worth listening and sometimes compromising on these wantsExtracurricular activities and balanceBenefits of clubs for confidence, community, and friendship-buildingThe risks of over-scheduling and how to judge when it's “too much”Emotional turbulence in the early weeksTears, anger, door-slamming, and exhaustion as expected reactionsHow to respond with empathy, rituals of comfort, and not jumping into “fix-it” mode too fast.Communication: with teens and with schoolHow to get teens talking: low-stakes questions, rituals, “super silence,” and active listeningWhen to see something as a “blip” vs a real problem, and how to approach schools constructivelyFriendships: How to talk about making friends without turning it into too much of a big dealHopefully, by the end of our discussion you'll have a much clearer idea of what you can do and also what you don't need to be doing to support your children through the turbulent teen school years. Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Send us feedback about this episode!When JOANN Fabrics closed its doors, sewists lost more than a convenient place to buy fabric. We also lost easy access to patterns, thread, zippers, buttons, interfacing and all the other essentials needed to complete a project. In the 18 months since the closures began, the sewing-supply landscape has changed considerably. In this episode, we look at what disappeared with JOANN, which retailers and independent businesses are stepping in to fill the gaps, and where sewists can now find fabric, patterns, notions, machines, education and community. Life after JOANN may require us to shop differently, plan ahead and explore unfamiliar resources, but it may also create new opportunities for local quilt shops, online retailers and sewing communities to thrive.Show notes for each episode: www.thestraightstitchpodcast.comMy website: www.janetszabo.comSee my sewing projects at: www.janetszabo.com/blogE-mail me!  janet@janetszabo.com

Ask Rachel anythingWelcome to the Wonder Room where Richards, and Katharine Radice, wonder about three huge areas in our teens' lives right now:Exam results and school pressure – how to respond to GCSE grades in a way that protects motivation and self-worth, rather than letting national headlines define your child.Schools and teachers – why constant school-bashing can damage our teenagers' relationship with education, and how to talk about school in a way that keeps teachers as allies, not enemies.AI, chatbots, and friendships – including the new teen version of ChatGPT, the risks of treating chatbots like “friends,” and how that might affect real-world relationships, disagreement, and even narcissistic tendencies.We unpack the stages of friendship explained by Sheridan Voysey in the latest episode—from acquaintances to deep, 2 a.m. friends—how to help teens cope when secrets are shared or friendships wobble, and why forgiveness as shared understanding can be so powerful.Finally, we turn the lens back on us parents:how the way we talk about other people at home shapes our teens' sense of safety and trust, why our own friendships and community really matter, and how giving ourselves permission to have a life—whether that's a simple “Fancy a Pint” WhatsApp group or low-stakes cups of tea with neighbours—actually makes things.Contact: Katherine RadiceRachel's SubstackSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Ask Rachel anythingSo many parents come to me saying 'My teen has no friends. What should I do?' and I can't help wondering if we are missing one of the most important ways to help them. Being good at friendships ourselves.Think about it. If we're not good at making and maintaining friends ourselves, who will our babies learn their friendship skills from?In this episode of Teenagers Untangled, I'm joined by author, broadcaster, and founder of The Friendship Lab, Sheridan Voysey, to unpack why 20–25% of adults now say they have no close friends, how that impacts our teens' mental health, and what we can actually do about it. We explore the five stages of friendship, why busyness, smartphones, and constant mobility are eroding our connections, and the simple, intentional steps parents can take to help their tweens and teens build deep, lasting relationships.Whether your child is struggling to find “their people,” stuck on the surface with classmates, or hiding behind screens, this conversation will give you practical language, science-backed insight, and real-life ideas for modelling healthy friendships at home. If you care about your teen's confidence, wellbeing, resilience, and sense of belonging, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Contact the Friendship LabThe Friendship Lab CourseI create notes on every episode which you'll find on my Substack page Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Send us feedback about this episode!A flattering, well-fitting garment begins long before you sit down at the sewing machine. It starts with understanding your body, your personal style, and what you want your clothing to do for you. In this episode, we take our first forays into garment fitting. We'll discuss how to identify the figure features you'd like to highlight or minimize, the importance of accurate body measurements, and the benefits of choosing patterns that are good candidates for your shape and fitting experience. Fitting doesn't have to be complicated or scary—it means learning how to make the pattern work for you. If you're ready to move beyond sewing a standard size and begin creating clothes that feel comfortable, flattering, and uniquely yours, this episode will help you take that first step.Show notes for each episode: www.thestraightstitchpodcast.comMy website: www.janetszabo.comSee my sewing projects at: www.janetszabo.com/blogE-mail me!  janet@janetszabo.com
