As parents, we all hope to grow up confident and capable. We want them to make good choices AND chase their dreams. But we’re also worried that they’re going to make big mistakes, or even get hurt.

That's why I'm excited to talk with Esther Joy Goetz. Esther is an author, speaker, and the force behind the popular Moms of Bigs social media community. She’s here to help us find that balance between nurturing our teens and letting them go.

• Creating a safe space for teens to become their own individuals is crucial.
• Building a long-term, healthy relationship with teens is the ultimate goal.
• Connecting with teens without any strings attached is important for fostering trust and open communication.
• Modeling respect and being seen, heard, and valued are key in the parent-child relationship.

Esther Joy Goetz is a potato chip-eating, NFL-lover mom to four grownish and flownish kids and author speaker and creator of the wildly popular social media space, Moms of Bigs. Her passion is to bring help, humor and hope to other moms who are working their you-know-what's off to give their big kids the roots of unconditional love and the wings of freedom to be completely themselves, the hardest and holiest journey she's ever been on.
