Are you a helicopter parent? If so, you might want to listen to this.

Helicopter parenting might seem like the ultimate way to show love and support, but it often backfires, leaving kids anxious, dependent, and unprepared for real life. In this video, I break down the three key behaviors that define helicopter parenting and explain why this approach can have long-term negative effects on children.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

1️⃣ How micromanaging your child’s life undermines their confidence.

2️⃣ Why rescuing kids from consequences stunts their emotional growth.

3️⃣ How over-functioning for your child leads to resentment and helplessness.

I also share a powerful real-life example of a bright, high-achieving young man whose life spiraled out of control, largely because of well-intentioned but harmful overparenting.

✨ So, what’s the solution?

I’ll walk you through three practical strategies to break the cycle of helicopter parenting and empower your child to become independent, resilient, and capable of handling life’s challenges.

Some people heal relationships. Others destroy them. But can someone who has spent a lifetime damaging relationships truly repair them? Can they really change? And if so… how?

In this video, I break down the essential steps to repairing broken trust, healing relationships, and becoming a relationship builder instead of a destroyer.

We explore:

✅ Why humility is the foundation of change.

✅ How to own your role instead of blaming others.

✅ The correct way to apologize (most people get this wrong).

✅ How to verbalize your intention to change-and why it matters.

✅ The power of listening without defensiveness.

If you or someone you love has struggled with broken relationships, this message is for you. No one is beyond repair. Healing starts today.
