Ever catch yourself thinking, *“I’m either a good parent or a bad one”... or, “My teen is either respectful or totally out of control”? That’s black-and-white thinking—and it sneaks into parenting more than we realize.

In this episode, we dig into how rigid, all-or-nothing thoughts keep us stuck in guilt, frustration, and power struggles. You’ll learn:

• How black-and-white thinking shows up (even when you don’t realize it)

• Why it makes parenting feel so much harder

• The simple mindset shift that opens the door to peace, patience, and real progress

If you’re exhausted from the pressure to be “perfect” or feeling like you always mess it up—this one’s for you.

Your teen is moody, dramatic, needy, and constantly fishing for validation. One minute they want you to help… the next, they’re shutting you out. They’re one person at home, someone else at school, and you're just trying to figure out who the heck they actually are.

If you’ve ever felt like your teen is a walking tornado of insecurity, pressure, and mixed signals—and you're the one stuck holding it all together—this episode is for you.

We talk about:

• Why your teen’s “crazy” behavior isn’t about being broken

• The hidden needs behind their outbursts, shifts, and social shape-shifting

• The one thing they really want from you—even when they act like they don’t

Because your teen doesn’t need to be fixed.
They need to feel safe. Seen. Loved as they are.

Let’s rebuild trust—and your sanity—one conversation at a time.

If your teen is sad, bored, heartbroken, or frustrated—and you instantly shift into problem-solving mode—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re talking about a trap so many loving parents fall into: believing it’s our job to keep our teens happy. Whether it’s emailing teachers, calling their friend’s mom after a disagreement, offering shopping trips to soothe a breakup, or trying to fix boredom with entertainment—many parents overfunction emotionally, thinking they’re being helpful. But here’s the truth: trying to manage your teen’s emotions not only burns you out, it also sends them the message that they can’t handle life on their own.

You’ll learn:

• Why your teen’s hard emotions aren’t a sign you’ve failed

• How to stop rescuing and start strengthening their emotional resilience

• The surprising way your love and guilt might be enabling helplessness

• And how to hold space without trying to “make it better”
