Eps 587: Parenting Teens Without Losing Yourself
Episode 587
If you’re parenting a tween or teen and feeling like you’re constantly walking on eggshells—this episode is for you. I talk about parenting teens without losing yourself in the process. I share why your peace of mind doesn’t have to wait for your kid to change, and how you can tap into presence, groundedness, and calm—even in the messiest moments. I offer three mindset shifts and practical tools to regulate, hold boundaries with love, and lead with connection. This is about parenting from the inside out. Listen now and reclaim your peace, no matter what’s going on around you.
