03/07/23 • 16 min
Pause for a moment; there's something crucial here.
In the world of parenting a teen facing challenges, self-care isn't just a luxury—it's a lifeline. It's about showing up as the kind of mama you can be proud of, even in the midst of tough times.
When we take charge of our well-being, we free our children from the weight of our struggles. It allows them to focus on navigating their own path without the added burden of our baggage.
Life has thrown us a curveball, and instead of waiting to react based on our child's response, we're taking the lead. This is our journey, a journey that will fortify us for the battles ahead. It's about showing up the way we want to—strong, brave, and resilient.
Key Highlights:
- Addressing Barriers: We'll tackle the three obstacles likely crossing your mind right now.
- Leading by Example: Your self-care becomes a beacon, showcasing healthy coping skills for your teen.
- Essential for All Roles: Recognizing that self-care is necessary for showing up as your best self in every role you've been entrusted with.
Join us as we embark on this journey of empowerment, providing insights and takeaways to guide mamas through resilience amid the challenges of parenting a struggling teen.

Show-notes Episode 30
Title: A Look at Teen Behaviors: Conflict
Today's episode is part 3 of our 3-part series looking at some common teen behaviors that you may be witnessing in your child and diving a little into why it happens, what about it creates challenges for us, and what we can do in response.
Understanding that conflict is less about an entitled teenager or a controlling mom and more about normal friction created by two individuals who want control (whether that control comes from a place of desiring freedom or protection) helps put it into proper perspective.
This episode’s takeaways:
- The conflict we experience with our child is not only normal developmentally, and it can actually benefit your relationship.
- Through conflict, we have an opportunity to model healthy conflict resolution. A lifelong skill.
- Conflict teaches us flexibility and how to listen.
- There are two things I can do that will, 97% of the time, change the trajectory of my path with my child when we are engaged in conflict:
- Disengage to regulate my emotions
- Start digging up roots
- Learning and modeling healthy conflict resolution takes practice, practice, practice.
- Remember that these moments of conflict are actually key to the long-term health of the parent-child relationship, because it’s in these moments that the relationship gets reshaped to include more reciprocity and equality between the parties.
