In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most common struggles parents face—tying their self-worth to their teen's choices and behaviors. It’s easy to feel like a "good" parent when things are going smoothly, but what happens when your teen starts acting out or making decisions you don't agree with? Does that make you a failure?
Join me as we explore how to detach your self-esteem from your teen’s actions and focus on your own emotional well-being. By letting go of the need to control every outcome, you can show up as a more confident, supportive parent while allowing your teen the space to grow, learn, and make their own decisions.
In this episode, you’ll learn: - How tying your self-worth looks in real time, so that you can recognize how we all do this.
- Why tying your self-worth to your teen's behavior is harmful to both you and your child.
- Practical steps to emotionally detach from your teen's choices without losing connection.
