The Almost Empty Nest—Letting Go, Redefined: Parenting Teens and Finding Yourself Again—with Small Jar Coach

"My Teen Thinks I'm the Problem” —Thoughts Moms Parenting Teens and Adult Kids Are Ashamed They Think | Ep. 200


Listen Later

Have you ever had your teen look at you like you’re the problem?
It feels like a gut punch, specially when you know in your heart you’ve been doing everything you can to love and support your big kid.

In this episode, I share a story from my own life about what it feels like when your big kid blames you and how to move through that pain without losing yourself in it. We’ll talk about why this stage of parenting feels so hard, how to stop taking their reactions so personally, and how to find peace even when your teen doesn’t see your good intentions.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, walking on eggshells, or wondering if you’ve somehow failed, this conversation will help you exhale. You’ll see that what feels like rejection might actually be your teen’s way of growing — and your invitation to grow, too.
