Welcome to The Teenage Guide podcast!
I often get asked...
"What do I say?"
"How do I say that?"
"When do I say it?"
And, I get it: when we want to talk to our teens about something important it can feel like approaching our crush in middle school. Awkward. And, where to even begin?!
In this week's episode, I share 3 must-have conversation topics to broach with your teen - and I challenge you to start them in the next 30 days or less!
Each conversation:
builds confidence in yourselfhelps you understand what goes on in their mindbuilds trust between you...And, they all might build discomfort inside you and require about 10 seconds of courage. You've got this.
The good news: these conversations DO NOT need to be one-and-done sit down tell-all's. They are sprinkled into weekly life.
As I coach parents around the world, I see universal patterns in simple tools to improve open communication with our teens, and why it matters so much. This episode is a portal into those patterns. Listen in NOW!

Expectations around parenting in today's culture can be really overwhelming.
So many 'should's', responsibilities, meetings, daily routines, to-do's, and more.
Maybe you feel like you're trying to keep your head above water with everything going on, and is it ever really enough? The to-do's are endless, and never really get to the heart and soul of what you and your t(w)een need.
Since I'm on a mission to change the way you relate to parenting a t(w)eenager, this also means changing the way you relate to yourself.
That's why I'm so excited for this week's episode.
Inside the episode I share: the one thing you can practice immediately that will drastically improve your life when you're trying to 'do it all' this school yearhow this practice impacts your relationship with your t(w)een and how they see and support themselvesIt's simple, more sustainable, and more effective than one-off self-care practices. It's changed my life and my parenting for the better, and I can't wait to see what it does for you.
Enjoy!

When I say 'breaking down' I'm referring to any time your tween or teen lashes out, has an emotional reaction to stress, conflict, or overwhelm, and/or takes out their stress on you.
These instances can happen a lot throughout adolescence, and it can be challenging to know what to do as the parent.
So, in this quick episode, I share what you should do first when your t(w)een breaks down.
Afterwards, the next step will be clearer, and you're one step closer to feeling better from the inside out.
