Your Teen Isn’t the Problem: It’s What You’ve Been Told About Parenting | Dr. Siggie Cohen
Description
If you've ever felt completely unprepared to parent a teenager—this conversation is your lifeline.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by the one and only Dr. Siggie, a clinical psychologist, parenting educator, and founder of drsiggie.com, whose work has helped thousands of families navigate the hardest parts of raising children with more compassion, clarity, and connection.
Dr. Siggie has a way of speaking straight to your nervous system—in the best way. She’s known for breaking down big emotional moments and giving you grounded, real-life tools you can actually use in the heat of it. She’s not here to shame or blame. She’s here to help us build real connection with our teens—even when they’re slamming doors, pulling away, or going completely silent.
We talk about:
How to stay close while giving them space
What to do when your teen is angry or shuts down
How to discipline without controlling
Rebuilding trust after a big mistake
Managing your own emotional response when they’re spiraling
Tech boundaries, sibling fights, and rebuilding connection when it feels like it’s slipping away
This one is FULL of truth bombs, gentle reframes, and parenting wisdom that will shift how you see yourself—and your teen.
✨ Trust me, you’ll want to listen twice.
