About this listen
Do you ever feel like you’re failing - not just yourself, but your teenager too? You’re not alone. In this heartfelt episode of Your Parent Coach, I’m unpacking the real reasons parents feel this way, why comparison is the thief of joy, and how to challenge the negative thoughts that creep in.
You’ll learn:
- Where these feelings of failure often come from (and why they’re so common)
- How to validate your emotions without getting stuck in them
- Simple grounding exercises to reset in stressful moments
- How to break the cycle of reactive parenting with calm, clear communication
- Why slowing down and saying less can completely shift the tone at home
Whether your teen is slamming doors, giving you the silent treatment, or throwing out words that sting, this episode gives you practical tools to respond with clarity and compassion — without losing yourself in the process.
