Listen "1: [Trigger Warning] My story: From gifted kid to numbed-out teen, into the Teenage Guide"
Episode Synopsis
📢 What if the key to parenting your teen… is healing your own past?
Ever stopped to ask yourself: What did my 12-year-old self need to hear? That one question changed everything for me. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story from an Oprah Live Your Best Life event that led to a major breakthrough—not just in my own healing but in the way I help parents and teens today.
If you've ever felt disconnected from your teen (or even from yourself), this episode is for you. We'll talk about: ✅ How childhood and adolescent experiences shape our parenting today ✅ Why emotional safety is the foundation of success for teens ✅ The ONE question that can unlock healing for you and your child
Healing starts with awareness—and that awareness starts with YOU.
I hope you enjoy this episode - Listen in now!
