"Send Ben a text"

Your teen knows when you’re being real… and when you’re not.

In this episode, Ben and Cortni talk about “fake parenting” and why it pushes teens away. Teens don’t need a perfect parent. They need the real you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why fake parenting kills connection
  • How to create a 10-word vision statement to guide you
  • Why focusing on what you want works better than focusing on what you don’t want
  • A simple gratitude hack that makes parenting easier

When you show up as your true self, your teen feels safe, loved, and ready to connect.
