Doing something that goes against the grain can feel scary, especially when it comes to parenting.

What will they think?

What if it's a mistake?

What if this all blows up in my face?

All of these thoughts have gone through my head as I've made parenting decisions along the way.

Decisions like pulling them from public school, finding a program that better suited their needs, and trying alternative approaches to mental health care.

I found something different because the old way of doing things wasn't working. And I wanted something better for my family.

I'm starting to see more parents challenging the norm and I'm here for it! The wave of a new paradigm in parenting is rising, and that's what this week's podcast episode is all about.

Topics discussed include:

• The Old Rulebook's Toll: The cost of hidden feelings, disconnection, a fear of failure, and a focus on punishment over understanding.

• The New Rules of Connection: The impact of open communication, building trust, and prioritizing mental well-being.

• Self-Doubt & Isolation: Strategies to overcome fears, trust your gut, and have the courage to do things differently.

If you're wanting something different and better for your teen, this episode is for you.
