Raising Resilient Kids Starts with Us: The Science of Letting Go with Dr Jessica Borelli (Part 2)

In this heartwarming and deeply practical follow-up episode, host Dr. Jodi Richardson continues her insightful conversation with Dr. Jessica Borelli, clinical psychologist, professor, and parenting researcher. Together, they explore how letting go, stepping back, and allowing our kids to make mistakes can actually build their confidence, resilience, and sense of self.

Jessica shares fascinating research and real-life stories about reflective functioning (or mentalising)—understanding what’s behind your child’s behaviour - and how stress, sensitivity, and our own anxieties can influence the way we parent.
Plus, Dr. Jodi opens up about her own “helping instinct” as a mum and what she’s learning about presence, trust, and connection.

Whether you’re raising little ones or teens, this episode will leave you feeling supported, inspired, and more confident in your parenting journey.
