🚀 New Podcast Episode Alert – Parenting Teens Advice Redefined 🚀
I’m thrilled to share the latest conversation I had with Brett Aldrich, Ayurvedic counselor, breath‑work practitioner, and founder of Seed the Spirit (Portland, ME). 🎙️
If you’re a parent of a teen (or anyone who feels stuck in the endless fight‑or‑flight loop), this episode offers a fresh, “be more, do less” mindset that can transform how you show up for yourself—and for your kids.
🎯 3 Key Takeaways
Know Your Element, Balance Your Life – Ayurveda teaches that we’re each a unique blend of fire, water, earth, air, and ether. By recognizing which element dominates your current state, you can make simple, intentional choices (e.g., cooler foods, water‑based activities, grounding in earth) to restore inner equilibrium.
Micro‑Moments of Breath = Macro‑Shift in Stress – A 2‑minute diaphragmatic breath (belly → chest → clavicle) can reset the nervous system, nourish the brain, and give you the pause you need before reacting. Consistency beats intensity—tiny, daily breath‑work beats marathon sessions you can’t stick to.
Model Calm, Not Perfection – Kids mirror what they see. By openly acknowledging your own stress, taking a brief breath, and saying, “I need five minutes to reset,” you teach your teen a concrete tool for self‑regulation.
