In this powerful, hope-filled episode, I sit down with Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, clinical psychologist and parenting expert, to talk about what's really going on beneath the surface during the teen years.
She unpacks what to do when your teen shuts down, why nagging and lecturing don't work, how to reset when you've lost your cool, and how to support your teen without losing yourself in the process.
From messy rooms to slammed doors and screen-time battles, this episode will give you practical tools to reconnect with your teen, regulate your own emotions, and build a stronger relationship—without the shame spiral or the power struggles.
Because behind every behavior is a need. And when you meet your child with curiosity instead of control, that's when real change happens.
💬 Whether you're parenting a tween, teen, or just want to prepare for what's ahead, this one is a must-listen.
