If you’re a frustrated mom of teenagers and you’re ready to stop worrying that you’re going to drive your kids away, lose your mind, or end up being a pushover, it’s time to start building the skills that will help you do discipline differently—without crushing spirits, killing connection, or creating resentment. I’m Tunisha—life coach, educator for over two decades, author of The Real Pain of Stress: What to Do When Bubble Baths Won’t Fix It, and mom to a teenage boy just stepping into the empty nesting stage. This podcast is for moms who want to lead their kids with God’s wisdom. I share what I’ve learned to reconnect with my teenage son after realizing I had turned into my parents (with a little something extra). I’ve developed skills that got him to be more responsible AND break generational patterns of emotional trauma and I want to share how we healed our relationship and the principles that transformed our home.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why is my child pulling away from me?” or “Why won’t my teenager talk to me anymore?”—this episode is for you.
I’m sharing the story of how my own son almost cut me out of his life—and what I had to confront in myself to stop the damage and start healing our relationship. This isn’t about blame or shame. It’s about being honest with ourselves as moms about the environment we’ve created, the patterns we’ve passed down, and the trust that might’ve been broken along the way.
You’ll hear what I’ve learned from discipline styles rooted in survival, how hostility and control pushed my son away, and the exact steps I took to repair what I broke. We’ll talk about what real empathy sounds like, why “I’m sorry” isn’t always enough, and how to move from pride to peace—one honest moment at a time.
If you’re scared your child is shutting down or wants nothing to do with you, this episode will give you tools, language, and hope for what can still be rebuilt.

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.
