In this week's episode, Cindy Manko introduces step two of her R I S E approach, emphasizing the importance of inspiring independence in teenagers by treating them as insightful individuals rather than micromanaging their every move. Cindy is also inspired by family therapist Jennifer Kolari’s concept of parents stepping back from acting as a "substitute frontal lobe," striking a delicate balance between guidance and control. Cindy’s words will shed light on how reducing parental intervention allows teens to develop confidence and essential life skills. While challenging, the shift in parental roles paves the way for deeper connections and enduring support as teens journey toward independence.
Parents can help teens unlock their full potential by embracing change and allowing them to navigate discomfort and failure independently. This episode offers valuable insights into transforming your parenting approach and creating a nurturing environment where your teen can truly thrive.

In this throwback episode of the Listen Love Launch Podcast, I share my personal struggles with identity and mental health during the empty nest transition after my children graduated. I discuss the profound impact of rediscovering my self-worth and purpose in midlife, aided by a life coach and my friend Elise, which led me to the creation of the journal project and this podcast.
I detail how attending a conference and joining the Called Creatives community, reinvigorated my passion and direction.
I also found inspiration from Dawn Barton's "Midlife Battle Cry," and share
her 21 days of reflective prompts, where I learned the importance of balancing motherhood with personal happiness through self-care and recognizing our own needs.
