In this podcast episode, we dive into the importance of building a strong connection with your teenager, even if they're not meeting your expectations.

We chat about how teenagers actually want their parents to connect with them, and how letting go of expectations and attachments to desired outcomes can actually help you connect better with your teen.

We also discuss the power of setting boundaries for yourself instead of trying to control your teen's behavior, expressing gratitude for your teen, empowering them, and focusing on shared values.

"Ask Ben a Question"

In this episode of the Impact Parenting with Perspective podcast, I interview guest Jesse LeBeau, a youth speaker who shares his experiences and delivers messages about being an underdog, overcoming obstacles, and improving attitude and life.

Jesse's passion for basketball led him to pursue a career in commercials, movies, and TV shows, but he realized that his purpose was to engage and inspire young people. He now speaks to middle school and high school students, using basketball tricks and stories to deliver powerful messages about overcoming obstacles and improving attitude.

Jesse emphasizes the importance of finding one's passion, being willing to explore different avenues related to that passion, and the role of parents in modeling positive attitudes and behaviors for their teens. He encourages parents to focus on their own personal growth and passion, as this will have a positive impact on their teens.

Check out his website, TheAttitudeAdvantage.com/podcast, where listeners can find more information about his programs for schools and parents of teens.

"Ask Ben a Question"

Ever feel like you're lost in the maze of parenting? Well, guess what? It might be because you're not exactly sure where you want to go or who you want to be as a parent. Yep, that could be the key to your unhappiness too. The author of this text offers a free audio course, Parenting from the Inside Out, where they dive into the first big thing – your identity. If you're not clear on who you want to be, it's like trying to navigate without a map.

One of the keys to being lost as a parent is dwelling on what you don't want. Apparently, it's a buzzkill for both teens and parents. Instead of obsessing over the no-nos, the advice is to figure out what you actually want. 

Stop fixating on things you can't control. Want to be the coolest parent your teen wants to chat with? Well, that might not be entirely in your hands. 

You focus on what you can control, like showering your teen with love and respect no matter what.

And here's a big one – live in alignment with your true desires by experimenting. Yep, parenting comes with those "what the heck do I do now" moments.

Take some blind action, see what works, and adjust course as needed. It's all about learning from the messy, sometimes icky moments to figure out the parent you want to be.

Every tough moment is a golden chance to practice Being the Parent of your Dreams!

"Ask Ben a Question"

1. Everything is Energy: The core message is that everything, including ourselves, our emotions, and the world around us, is made up of energy. Understanding this fundamental concept sets the stage for managing our overall well-being.
2. Emotional Intelligence Matters: Developing emotional intelligence is crucial. It involves identifying and comprehending our emotions, knowing how they feel, where we feel them, and connecting the dots between our feelings and thoughts. This understanding is a roadmap to better manage our energy.
3. Law of Attraction is Always On: The Law of Attraction isn't a switch; it's a constant force. Our emotions and energy determine what we attract into our lives. If we emit stress and anxiety, we'll likely draw in more of the same. Being mindful of our emotional state is key to shaping our experiences.
4. Mind Management is Energy Management: Our minds, not just our brains, play a pivotal role in managing our energy. We have the power to choose our thoughts, intentionally shifting our attention from thoughts that bring undesirable emotions to those that evoke positive feelings. This is how we take charge of our energy.
5. Gratitude as a Superpower: Gratitude is highlighted as a super-emotion and a quick route to raising our vibration. Practicing gratitude can swiftly shift our emotional state from stress and anxiety to feelings of gratitude, peace, and happiness. It's presented as a powerful tool for effective emotional management.

"Ask Ben a Question"

In this podcast, I discuss exploring spirituality with an open mind, and acknowledging that traditional religious views may clash with non-traditional perspectives. 

I differentiate between spirituality and religion, emphasizing a personal exploration without claiming expertise.

I challenge the notion that worthiness determines spirituality, sharing personal experiences to advocate for a focus on personal alignment and integrity.

We delve into the concept of co-creation, where everything is spiritually created before manifesting physically. 

I discuss the power of thoughts and emotions in shaping our reality, stressing the importance of aligning inner desires with external actions. I suggest a shift from external religious focus to internal connection with divinity, asserting that the most direct link to God is within ourselves.

Discipline plays a crucial role in spiritual growth, aligning actions with our desired identity. 

I highlight the creator mentality, emphasizing that individuals shape their reality through their thoughts and feelings. 

Take responsibility for our reality and realize that spirituality is a personal learning journey, not something you can be taught but something that you can only learn through YOU.
