29: The keys to parent with more peace and instantly de-stress your life
I won't sugarcoat this: stress is all around us. You know it and feel it.
What you may not realize is what it really is and how it's impacting connection with your teen, and their ability to do what they need to do.
Knowing this is the foundation of self-regulation.
In this episode, I'm sharing something I've never shared before: my new mini-training 'DE-STRESS' on the 6 Keys to Self-Regulation: what it really means, why it’s the foundation of a thriving parent-teen relationship, and how to break the cycle of reactive parenting specifically with your tween or teen.
If you’ve ever found yourself snapping, shutting down, or feeling completely drained by your teen’s behavior, this is a must-listen!
🔥 What You’ll Learn:
✅ The science behind emotional regulation (and why it’s key for your teen’s success)
✅ How your stress response impacts your child’s ability to self-regulate
✅ 3 of the 6 (often hidden) stress domains (categories) that fuel reactivity—and how to recognize them
