EP. 6: Parenting Teens with Compassion and Neuroscience: A Conversation with Tiffany Grimes
Welcome back to Parents and Teens Rising! Today’s episode is a little different—I’m resharing a recent conversation where I was interviewed by my mentor and colleague Tiffany Grimes on her podcast Rewired: Neuroscience Meets Real-Life Change. This originally aired as Episode 8, Rewiring How We Parent Teens with Neuroscience and Coaching. Tiffany is the CEO of Empower Coaching and Training and a powerhouse in the coaching industry.
In the episode, we explore what’s really happening in the developing teen brain and how parents can use compassion, curiosity, and coaching strategies to move from frustration to connection. You’ll learn how boundaries can both empower and support independence, why mistakes are opportunities for growth, and how open-ended questions can spark real dialogue with your teen.
We also dive into the role of rites of passage and nature-based experiences in supporting identity formation and resilience—plus the importance of practicing self-compassion as a parent.
Whether you’re seeking practical strategies, neuroscience-backed insights, or soulful wisdom, this episode will equip you with tools to strengthen your relationship with your teen and rewire the way you respond.
✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why emotional ups and downs are part of healthy teen development
- How compassion transforms parent-teen interactions
- The power of open-ended questions for connection
