Teen Independence Unleashed: Loving Detachment Strategies
Through The Hard - Parenting Teens in Crisis
10/11/22 • 27 min
Show-notes Episode 21
Building Teen Competence and Confidence with Loving Detachment
One of the reasons we get so exhausted as parents is that we can become a little over-involved in our child's decisions. In this episode, we explore the practice of loving detachment and learn about the surprising impact it can have on building competency and confidence in your teen.
Listen as we review the two questions you should ask yourself before putting your child "in the backpack," and explore together feelings that may come up for you when practicing this form of letting go.
Finally, we'll discuss the idea of loving detachment by taking a look at Dr. Wayland Meyers's Blog post, How Detachment Can Be Loving For All. It’s definitely a must-read. Click the blog title to check it out! You can also find a link for it on our Resource Page listed below.

Unyielding Episode 20
The #1 Reason You Feel Exhausted
Raising teenagers can be EXHAUSTING; in this episode, we discuss the #1 reason for it.
Join the conversation as I talk about the “Backpack Principle.”
This new way principle brings awareness and clarity to what it looks like to begin the process of loving detachment. I’ve been practicing it for a couple of weeks now, and it has been a GAME CHANGER in our family.
We’ll also discuss why detaching is so uncomfortable.
- Two questions to ask yourself before you jump in to instruct, solve or protect your teen.
- Switching roles from Director to Advisor
- And more..
Episode Take Aways....
Grow in your awareness of backpack moments this week. When confronted with them, ask yourself...
1. Have they been given what I believe is wisdom on this matter, or in other words, have we covered this before?
2. Am I willing to allow this to be theirs?

Moving Through the Unknown with Purpose
This episode is the second in a series of interviews with different people offering different perspectives on what to consider as you walk beside your child through the justice system.
Questioning what it looks like to parent well through a season we've never had to navigate before is a normal part of this process. In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing my pastor and friend, Jim Ladd. Jim is gifted in his ability to communicate concise, practical information in a way that is encouraging and thought-provoking, and this message is definitely one that will stay with you.
If you have a child in crisis, we sincerely hope that you find comfort and clarity while listening to his message on the importance of bringing ourselves back to baseline and beginning to examine the bigger picture and opportunity available to us during this time.
A few highlights from this episode:
2:35 Our most difficult, panicky, terrifying crisis moments are actually extremely fertile for the activity of God.
6:45 How to be loving while battling genuine feelings of anger and disappointment towards your child.
14:43 The healthy ability to connect and disconnect.
19:35 A parent's most important job when your child is in crisis.
26:28 Aligning how we parent with God’s love for us.
If you are interested in hearing more from Jim Ladd or connecting with what he's doing, check out the Jim and Jon website to access blogs, books, and the Upstream podcast he co-hosted with his son Jon (It's fantastic). You can also find him on the Evergreen Christian Community Website and Instagram.

From Seed to Harvest: Finding Peace in The Process of Parenting Teens
Through The Hard - Parenting Teens in Crisis
09/05/23 • 27 min
Hey Sis! Ever think about parenting teens like you're tending a garden? Well, that's what we're getting into in this episode – 'cause, let's face it, our kids are a bit like flowers. They bloom when they're ready, in their own sweet time.
We're just here to play the gardener, you know? Nurturing, observing, and maybe doing a bit of waiting.
This summer, as I strolled around my yard, checking out how each plant was doing, it hit me how much parenting teens can feel like tending a garden. And guess what? I had to spill the beans (or should I say seeds?) with you.
Come hang out with us as we chat about:
- Your child’s zone: Respecting their own growth timeline.
- Starting at ground level: Embracing those foundational moments.
- How to soften the seed: Creating the right conditions for growth.
- The DANGERS of overwatering: Yep, finding that sweet balance.
- Getting to the roots: Digging into what really matters for your teens.
I'm keeping it laid-back and sharing insights to help you navigate the ups and downs of parenting teens. So, grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and let's chat about growing up together, one seed at a time.

The Learning Curve: Final Stage of Learning to Parent a Teen in Crisis
Through The Hard - Parenting Teens in Crisis
08/22/23 • 29 min
"As we heal the parts of us that, even in the midst of chaos, need to grieve over the loss of the family we dreamed would be ours, we get better at parenting. We learn to be ok with holding the reins a little looser because holding them tight never seems to bring our child closer. And through this beautiful process of losing and finding, we stumble upon our sweet spot."
In today’s episode, we discuss the 4th and final stage of learning. At this stage, our skills are developing and becoming ingrained in us through repetition. They begin to line up with what feels right to us. Our actions and reactions, even if they don’t always yield the results we hope for, are more incongruent with what’s important to us, and it starts to feel more natural and effortless.
Join us to learn more about....
- Stage 4: Unconscious Competence.
- Parenting and Shepherding - what they have in common.
- The growth required of us.
