Description

Have you ever thought, “I’m not proud of my teen?” It feels terrible, doesn't it?  And yet, so often as mom parenting teens and big kids, we have real fears about who our child is becoming and what their choices mean for their future. In this episode, I'm sharing the many different situations moms share with me — the academic struggles, the social worries, the attitude shifts, the choices that make you question whether your child is on the right path. And in this conversation, I'm going to explain why we turn our kids' behavior into a measure of our own success. 


If you’re tired of feeling stressed about your kid's future, or confused about what letting go is supposed to look like, this episode will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and what’s actually within your control.
