The Teen Years Toolkit For Moms: Parenting Communication Skills to Calm the Chaos
Do you find yourself obsessively refreshing your phone, imagining worst-case scenarios when your teen is out of the house — and calling it “just being a good mom”?
This episode dives into a belief many moms carry: that constant worry is a sign of love and good parenting. But what if that belief is what’s keeping you stuck in stress and robbing you of peace? We’re talking about the emotional toll of hypervigilance, what’s actually happening in your brain when you're spiraling, and how to begin breaking the cycle—without ignoring your child’s safety.
Listen now to start untangling the guilt-worry loop and learn a more grounded way to show up for both your teen — and yourself.
