315. Love is Owning When You're Wrong
14/04/2026 | 31 mins.
What if what you're calling failure… isn't failure? When your child's life, or your parenting, doesn't look how you thought it would, it can bring up shame, guilt, and that quiet sense of "I got this wrong." But what if you're not wrong… you're just being invited to grow? In this episode, we talk about how to see clearly without making it mean something about your worth (go back to Episode 311 on self-love), why your teen's struggles are actually part of their path, and how faith looks different when you stop needing everything to go your way. Because they're supposed to struggle. And you're supposed to grow too. (It's kind of the whole point) xoxo To more fully understand, embrace and implement what I teach, book a free Discover Your Disconnection Pattern call with me.

314. Love Comes From Within
07/04/2026 | 21 mins.
They hug you ...They trash talk you in their texts. They confide in you ...They lie to you. They tell you they love you ...They break your rules. It can feel like a roller coaster—loving them deeply while also feeling hurt, confused, or unsure where you stand. In this episode, I talk about why love can feel so elusive when we misunderstand how it's created—and how understanding the dynamics of love changes everything. Spoiler: love isn't something that the universe sprinkles down on us, beyond our control. If you've ever questioned the love between you and your teen, this will help you see it more clearly and create more of it.

313. Love is Flexible. Bend, Don't Break
31/03/2026 | 26 mins.
What's your favorite TV show? Today I talk about how the stories we love can teach us emotional flexibility—and how that flexibility expands our ability to love our teens well. In this episode, I share the three parts of structured flexibility that help us connect better, find more happiness, and express love more effectively as parents. If you've been feeling stuck, rigid, or unsure how to respond well when things don't go as planned, this conversation will help you bend instead of break.
