🎙 NEW EPISODE ALERT: BROKEN OPEN PODCAST

✨ The Pain of Pulling Away ~ Why Your ADHD Teen & Young Adult Needs Distance ✨

When your ADHD teen starts pulling away, it can feel like rejection. Like they don’t need you. Like everything you’ve poured into them is slipping away.

But here’s the truth: Distance isn’t rejection. It’s growth.

💭 They’re not ignoring you—they’re figuring themselves out. 💭 They’re not shutting you out—they’re learning to stand on their own. 💭 They still need you—just in a different way.

The shift is painful, but necessary. Holding on too tightly keeps them from stepping into their next stage of independence.

💡 This episode is for parents navigating the emotional rollercoaster of letting go—without losing connection.

🎙️ Episode 3: From Control to Trust – Rewriting the Relationship with Your ADHD Teen & Young Adult

Are you parenting from fear or trust?

If you’re raising an ADHD teen or young adult, you know how easy it is to micromanage, overcorrect, and step in before they’ve had a chance to figure things out. But control isn’t about them—it’s about us.

Trusting your ADHD teen or young adult doesn’t mean stepping back—it means showing up differently.

In this episode of Broken Open, we explore:

• The fear behind control and why it feels so necessary
• Why ADHD teens & young adults NEED to make mistakes to develop executive function skills
• What happens when you step back and trust them to navigate their world

It’s time to stop controlling outcomes and start coaching skills.
