Ever feel behind before you’ve even begun? Same here. I’m kicking off Season Nine by sharing a letter I wrote to myself last October—a reminder not to let the back-to-school chaos set me into a spiral. In this episode, I reflect on the power of taking things slow, showing up (even if it’s not perfect), and cutting myself some slack as the fall routines kick in. Join me as we set a kinder, gentler pace for this season, focused on reducing stress and showing up just as we are.

Join us in taking a look back to a past episode of Confessions. Inspired by Monty Don’s gardening wisdom, this episode explores the idea of “watering” teens with just the right amount of guidance. Just as a tree grows stronger by reaching for water deep in the soil, kids develop resilience when given the space to make their own choices. Let’s talk about balancing support with trust, the importance of letting kids dig deep for answers, and how embracing this approach can help nurture independent, grounded individuals. Join us for a thoughtful look at parenting in the teenage years.
