Welcome to our podcast Roots & Wings - raising teens is a podcast for teen-raisers and teenagers hosted by Amy Wilson & Danielle Brown.

On today's episode Amy and Danielle get all festive and have a little Christmas party, Amy's kitchen table transforms from a podcast recording studio to a very British festive beige buffet, complete with M&S tortilla stars, bao buns & a cheeky glass of fizz. There's plenty of twinkly lights, sequins, and glitter balls of course too.

There's plenty of chats about Christmas with teenagers and some great tips and tricks for last minute teen present ideas. They are also joined by an actual teenager too! Minnie pops along for a chat about what her favourite parts of Christmas are and what she's particularly looking forward to this year. We also hear what Amy & Danielle's answers are to our regular features, Roots & Sings - the soundtrack to your teens and What advice would you give your teenage self.

So what are you waiting for... get your Christmas sparkle on, pop open the Baileys and join our Roots and Wings Christmas party!!

This is the last episode of the series but we will hopefully be back in the NY with another one, with more exciting guests and big topic chats. We are so grateful for all the support, shout outs, downloads and every single person that has listened to our first ever podcast series!

We are also especially grateful to all our special guests who've joined us to tackle some of the big discussions we've had.

Thanks to Katie Woods who came to chat about SOCIAL MEDIA, Liv Speakman who came to chat about ANXIETY, Molly Forbes who joined us to discuss BODY IMAGE, Olga Thompson was with us to cover BULLYING and last but not least, Michelle Griffith Robinson tackled MOTIVATION. You are all wonderful humans!

MORE ABOUT US:

We met at the school gates over 10 years ago and became firm friends. This parenting podcast will cover the big topics facing parents and teenagers today with a good dose of northern humour, honesty and integrity. 

When a plaster, a biscuit or an early night will no longer work… what next?! The teenage years present a whole new chapter of challenges and are rarely discussed but not anymore!

With six children between us, one tween, four teens & one cutie pie, we have lots of experience and stories to share.

Every episode we get together over a cuppa in Amy's kitchen to catch up, share our tales of parenting teens and chat to other parents about how they are coping, or not coping! We’ll also get expert advice too - no topic is too tough or taboo to talk about.

Expect open and honest conversations, highs and lows, mum fails and plenty of LOLs. So whether you're a teen raiser, a parent of tweens or just want to join the club, Roots and Wings is here for you.
