As I navigate through a deeply personal and challenging time, today's episode signifies a monumental shift in my life, one that I know will leave a lasting impact. In the midst of this, I've made the decision to take a break from recording to focus on being present with my family. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Have you ever found yourself trying to do all the right things with your child, pouring all your love and so, so much energy into parenting, only to start to question if you are even on the right path? Sometimes, even our best intentions can steer us off course.

In this episode, we cover:

• An audiobook revelation that challenged my perspective on parenting.
• The comparison trap we often fall into as parents.
• Reevaluation of societal norms
• Parental pressure and guilt
• Three things to think about if you are struggling with your teen

Are you exhausted, barely keeping your head above water, wondering if the next wave of fear will be the wave that finally takes you out? Well, friend, reframing is one powerful way you can start to protect your peace.

In this episode, we cover:

• How discomfort is a part of every decision we make as parents.
• How trying a new parenting approach involves confronting pain and discomfort, questioning ourselves, and pushing through doubt.
• How each fear we experience presents an opportunity to overcome challenges, build resilience, and deepen self-understanding.
• Our tendency to join the "crazy train" of fear-driven thoughts and actions.
• All the different roles we play as a parent and the ONE we don't.
• A fear mapping process I use to help me reframe my perspective and navigate challenges when I'm stuck in fear.
