Celebration of a Success Story
Can I take a moment to shout out one of my clients? When I met Elizabeth, she was tired, as a matter of fact, she was sick and tired of acting like a police officer in her home. She was tired of directing traffic and having it fall on deaf ears. She tried harder and harder, nagged more and more, and no matter how loud she spoke, nothing changed. She wanted to quit! But let's face it, you cannot quit in your parenting, no matter how hard it gets!😜 She tried to tell herself

Stay in your lane!
I've been reflecting on how I can be a part of the change in our society lately. There is so much work that needs to happen before we can have unity as a nation.

Parenting a teen is tough work and often messy! You see them briefly and immediately think in your head, "you need to ------, you should------, have you -------, when are you going to-------". If you are anything like me, the list is endless. How does your teen respond when they are greeted like that? Cue eye roll, door slam or the disrespect and that isn't any fun for anybody!

Identity theft
Is your teen getting confused with their likes on social media and their identity? What happens if they associate their worth based on social media responses? Recent studies show that when teens base their worth on their "likes" they set themselves up for an emotional roller coaster ride, intense insecurities, anxiety, and depression. What if we encouraged our teens to base their identity on things that cannot be taken away from them? What things could we explore with our tee
