Welcome to the new Pivot Parenting series on LOVE! I love love, and over the next several episodes, I'll be focusing on different aspects of how we love ourselves, our teens, our partners, and our families. They all intersect. After more than six years of coaching, I see the patterns, dysfunction, and healing that love is deeply involved in.
Love needs very specific nutrients to grow. Today, I'm talking about what must come first if we want to nurture real love: safety.
Don't scroll away assuming this doesn't apply to you. It does. We are all flawed. We all mess up. And sometimes we unintentionally create hurt in our teen-parent relationships.
If you have ever:
Dismissed, downplayed, or gotten defensive about your teen's criticism, this is for you.
Wondered why your kids won't talk to you, this is for you.
Behaved in ways you regretted later, this is for you.
Felt triggered by your kids, this is for you.
Tried your hardest and still felt like you're falling short in connection, this is for you.
I'm not here to beat you up for your mistakes. I love you. Truly. I want you to create a safe space—for yourself and for your kids.
Love is the solution. Listen in while I explain.
To more fully understand, embrace, and implement what I teach, book a free Discover Your Disconnection Pattern call with me.
There is a solid reason you're feeling stuck, broken, or are hurting. I will help you discover it so that you can heal it. I firmly believe that your weaknesses can become your strength. Let me show you how. xoxo
