Advocating matters. But what matters more is how you model it. Love is the key!

Your teen is learning how to speak up, set boundaries, and handle hard situations by watching you. Not just what you say, but how you say it. Emotions matter.

In this episode of the Love series, we talk about what it actually looks like to model healthy advocacy in real life.

You'll learn:

• How your behavior teaches your teen to advocate for themselves

• How advocacy is an expression of love, not control

• What it looks like to speak up with calm, clarity, and respect

• How modeling this builds trust, confidence, and connection

This is about showing your teen, in real time, how to use their voice so they learn how to use their own.

Loving people is simple in theory and much harder in real life. Especially when it comes to your ex, your teen's frienemies, or the adults who haven't treated your child well.

So the question comes up fast.
Why would I love them?

In this episode, I walk you through why loving difficult people matters, how it benefits you and your family, and what it actually looks like in real life. You will learn how this approach strengthens your relationship with your teen, reduces conflict, and brings more peace into your home without ignoring what is wrong.

If loving your teen feels heavy, confusing, or even painful… this episode will shift that.

Love doesn't hurt. But what we think love is? That often does. In this episode, I walk you through what parents mistake for love, how that creates distance, and how to come back to something that actually feels steady and true.

You'll walk away with:

• A better understanding of yourself

• A deeper way to love your teen

• A simple 3-step process to feel peace and stay connected, no matter what's happening

This is about loving your kids in a way they can actually feel, and that feels better for you too. To more fully understand, embrace and implement what I teach, book a free Discover Your Disconnection Pattern call with me.

What if what you're calling failure… isn't failure?

When your child's life, or your parenting, doesn't look how you thought it would, it can bring up shame, guilt, and that quiet sense of "I got this wrong."

But what if you're not wrong… you're just being invited to grow?

In this episode, we talk about how to see clearly without making it mean something about your worth (go back to Episode 311 on self-love), why your teen's struggles are actually part of their path, and how faith looks different when you stop needing everything to go your way.

Because they're supposed to struggle. And you're supposed to grow too. (It's kind of the whole point) xoxo

They hug you
...They trash talk you in their texts.
They confide in you
...They lie to you.
They tell you they love you
...They break your rules.

It can feel like a roller coaster—loving them deeply while also feeling hurt, confused, or unsure where you stand.

In this episode, I talk about why love can feel so elusive when we misunderstand how it's created—and how understanding the dynamics of love changes everything. Spoiler: love isn't something that the universe sprinkles down on us, beyond our control.

If you've ever questioned the love between you and your teen, this will help you see it more clearly and create more of it.

What's your favorite TV show? Today I talk about how the stories we love can teach us emotional flexibility—and how that flexibility expands our ability to love our teens well.

In this episode, I share the three parts of structured flexibility that help us connect better, find more happiness, and express love more effectively as parents.

If you've been feeling stuck, rigid, or unsure how to respond well when things don't go as planned, this conversation will help you bend instead of break.

Our teen is grumpy, we find something we sished didn't exist, we are angry, frustrated and just want to fix it all.

What parents may not realize is that they're parenting out of disregulation and that often causes it's own set of problems.

While we may not associate LOVE and REGULATION with each other, they go hand in hand- listen in as I explain how.

If we want our kids to be okay with their imperctions, not beat themselves up, and expect others to treat them with respect, there is a practice we parents need to improve- self love. Our kids learn how to see themselves by how we see ourselves.

It is a common misconception that if we think we're awsome, we're proud. Not always so- listen in as I explain the difference between perfectionism and self love- this is a concept that will bless you and your childrens lives forever!

I reference one of my favorite presentations on love by Adam Miller at FaithMatters. 10/10 recommend

Love is a Law not a Reward
