  • EP154 - Jeanine Mauchawara - From Chaos to Calm: Transforming Parent-Teen Relationships
    May 20 2024

    When her kids were young she parented intuitively which worked pretty well. Then they hit the teen years and life became chaotic, tense, and drama-filled. This weeks guest felt worried, angry, frustrated, scared, and exhausted.

    She told her kids what they “should” do and what they “need” to do. She offered her wisdom and told them why they were wrong and what the “right” way was.

    And when none of that worked, she punished them. The result was more conflict, arguments and they shut her out.

    Like most parents, she read books, listened to podcasts, and speakers, but nothing seemed to worked.

    In 2016, she found a program which showed completely new parenting communication strategies that dramatically changed her relationship with her children and made her house a more calm and peaceful place to be.

    These strategies and tools were so life changing that she knew she needed to get this information into the hands of as many parents as possible.
