Why do we keep choosing the same type of person — even when those relationships don't work out?

What does a healthy teenage relationship actually look like — and how can you tell when something has crossed the line from love into control? In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with psychologist, violence-prevention and bystander-education expert Shaan Ross Smith to unpack the conversations every teenager — and every parent — should be having about relationships, consent, boundaries and red flags. From controlling behaviour that can initially look romantic, to phone passwords, location sharing, jealousy, isolation and social media, Shaan explains what healthy relationships should feel like and what friends and parents can look out for when something doesn't seem right. We dive into: What a healthy teenage relationship should feel like When caring behaviour becomes controlling The biggest red flags in teenage relationships Jealousy, possessiveness and isolation Phone passwords, location sharing and social media boundaries Consent and respecting boundaries What to do if an intimate image is shared How bystanders can step in when they notice something isn't right Why isolation is often the first warning sign How parents can have better conversations with teenagers Supporting teens through breakups and difficult relationships One of Shaan's biggest messages is simple: "Love should expand you, not restrict you." This is an important conversation for every teenager, parent and trusted adult. 💗 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this.

In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with mother and daughter duo Nadine and Taylah Steedman to uncover the real story behind one of Australia's most loved social media families. If you're on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, there's a good chance you've seen the Steedman family lip-syncing, dressing up, pranking each other and convincing Mum and Dad to get involved in yet another video. But behind the millions of views is a much deeper story about family, motherhood, breaking generational cycles and creating the kind of home your children never want to leave. Nadine opens up about getting married at just 17 years old, starting life with almost nothing, and the powerful experiences that shaped the family she was determined to build. Together, Nadine and Taylah share what life is really like behind the cameras, how their family handles fame and social media, and why being genuinely close to your family has become one of the biggest reasons people connect with them. We dive into: • Getting married at just 17 years old• Starting a life together with almost nothing• The story behind the famous Steedman family• How social media changed their lives• What happens behind the cameras• Breaking generational cycles• Raising children who actually want to be around their parents• The importance of being present as a mum• Why their family chooses to stay close together• The pressures and boundaries of sharing your life online• Why followers don't automatically have the right to know everything• How social media has shown them just how lucky they are to have each other One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes when Nadine shares the message one of her children sent her: “Thank you for giving us a life, Mum, that we've never had to heal ourselves from.” This episode is funny, honest, emotional and a beautiful reminder that family doesn't have to be perfect to be special — and that sometimes the greatest thing you can do is break a cycle and create something better for the generations that come after you. If you've ever wanted a closer relationship with your family, wondered what really happens behind the scenes of social media, or believed that your childhood doesn't have to define the family you create in the future… this one's for you. 💗 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this.
