Shameless Leadership

803: Susie Pettit: Codependent Parenting & Parenting Tweens/Teens


Listen Later

Susie Pettit has been helping women live the lives they love for over 20 years. She is the podcast host of the Love Your Life Show, offers the super successful Parenting Teens Survival Course, and runs a monthly membership for Midlife Warriors. She is a certified Parent, Life + Wellness Coach, and a mom of 5 sons ages 18-25.

Susie helps women live lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. She spent more than half her life living a life she did not love; as a people pleaser and codependent perfectionist in constant pursuit of a ‘Martyr of the Year’ award. 

She has the breadth of experience to teach firsthand about setting healthy boundaries, beating your inner critic, conscious parenting, and how to use mindfulness-based tools to beat overwhelm and anxiety. 


Listen in to hear Susie share:

  • The benefits of parenting with faith in the universe over fear
  • What codependent parenting looks like
  • Steps to raise more confident, less anxious kids
  • The importance of parenting your tweens/teens/young adults differently than you parented your 0-9 year olds - moving from the role of “manager” to “consultant”
  • Your 3 most important jobs as a parent:
  • Some assumptions parents make that lead to unnecessary conflict or drama in the house
  • Her 5 Pillars of Parenting Teens
