Hate the way things feel between you and your teen?
It usually starts with what I call The Reactivity Cycle—they do something, you explode, you feel guilty, you promise to do better, and before you know it you’re right back to yelling, threatening, or shutting down. That cycle keeps you stuck, disconnected, and exhausted.
This podcast is about breaking that cycle so you don’t end up in The Drift Phase—the slow slide into silence, distance, and kids who’d rather be anywhere but with you.
This show is for moms who are willing to be honest, admit that sometimes we are the problem, and do the growth work to change it. Here, you’ll learn how to manage your stress, communicate for real connection, and lead your kids without passing down the same family patterns you’ve been trying to escape.

You raised them with values. You prayed. You showed up. But now your child is distant, rebellious, or making choices that don’t look anything like what you imagined—and you’re left wondering what went wrong. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when the relationship with your child feels strained or unfamiliar, and how the story of the prodigal son gives you a model for parenting through disappointment, grief, and control—without giving up hope. You can read the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15: 11-32.
