Leaving Our Baggage at the Door
This Is So Awkward
08/10/21 • 48 min
One of the hardest things about raising kids through puberty is leaving our own baggage at the door. Our past experiences are seared into our brains and we’re so tempted to talk about them, but so often, our kids don’t want to hear about them. We need to let their puberty be their puberty. This episode is about why it is critical that we leave our puberty baggage at the door and how we can do that (most of the time...)

How to Parent without Judgment
This Is So Awkward

Judging ourselves, judging other parents, judging our partners and judging our kids... none of these feels good, and all clog lines of communication. But this is a really tough habit to kick.
