What if the thing you've been waiting for your teen to do… isn't actually the thing that has to happen first?

Most parents live in a quiet, exhausting loop of "If they would just…"
If they would just try harder.
If they would just care.
If they would just stop lying, yelling, shutting down, or blowing everything off.

We keep waiting for them to change so things can finally calm down.
And somehow, the longer we wait, the worse it gets.

In this episode, I share the belief that flipped everything on its head for me — and for hundreds of parents I've coached. It's one simple shift. One step. And it's more powerful than consequences, lectures, or waiting for a breakthrough that may never come.

This is the moment where parents stop feeling held hostage by their teen's moods… and start finding peace now, not someday.

If you're stuck in the same arguments, the same emotional ping-pong, the same painful patterns that never seem to resolve, this episode will show you a completely different way forward.

You don't need them to change first.
And once you hear why, you won't un-see it.

Welcome to a six part series, outlining the exact process to shift your parental struggles to find the connection with your teen. Today we begin with step 1: Your Future Doesn't Have to Look Like Your Past

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "This is just what our relationship will be"… or bracing with "Here we go again" when the same fight starts up for the hundredth time?

A lot of parents quietly start believing the story that nothing can ever change. That they're too burnt out, too set in their ways, too far gone to fix what feels broken. I believed that story too—until something shifted that gave me my power back.

In this episode, I'm sharing why your future with your teen does not have to look like your past, and how real, lasting change is possible no matter how long things have been hard.

If you're stuck in the same emotional loops, repeating the same arguments, or feeling disconnected from the kid you love, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Book a free Discover Your Disconnection Call and let's talk about what's actually happening in your relationship with your teen—and what can shift from here.

Tea time! This weeks episode is unique in that I've have direct feedback from teens on hurtful parenting behaviors. I was told things that they would never tell you- does any of it fit your parenting patterns? Listen to find out.

"Why do my parents think this way and are so bothered by me?"

"What can be said to make you(my parents) like me more?"

"I am not build-a-bear. If you can't accept your kids how they are, then don't have them."

"My mom told me I was a brat"

These are a few things that were shared with me. It broke my heart and I want to support these kids by supporting you. Lets wrap a blanket of grace and love around each other as we look at ways we may be harming our relationships, our teens self-esteem, and our own souls. It's not about having to be perfect or feel ashamed for harmful words spoken, it's about embracing the courage to own our hurtful behaviours and change them.

If your child doesn't confide in you, shuts down when you try to correct them, thinks you're the worst, and it feels like you're losing them, this episode could be for you.

As always, I'm here to support you. If you want to speak one on one about your parenting pains and struggles, I am available right HERE. Lets discover your parenting disconnection pattern together so that we can reverse things before it gets worse. xoxo
