In this raw, unfiltered episode of Parenting Teens – Advice Redefined for Today’s World, host Cheryl Pankhurst pulls back the curtain on the part of us that most of us keep hidden: advocating for ourselves. We hear the endless stream of “perfect” lives on social media, but the messy, un‑filtered truth is rarely shown. Cheryl shares her own breakthrough moment—how she moved from endless people‑pleasing to standing up for herself with calm, clear‑cut honesty.

Listeners will learn:

  • Why self‑advocacy isn’t aggression, it’s clarity and courage.
  • Simple, low‑volume ways to set boundaries with teens, partners, and coworkers.
  • How to recognize the “calm‑as‑compass” feeling that tells you you’ve done the right thing.
  • A quick “Storm‑Check” exercise you can model for your teen right now.
  • If you’re a parent of a teenager who feels stuck in the “peace‑keeper” role, this episode gives you the language and confidence to model healthy boundaries for your family.
