Are you always worried about what you'll say if someone asks you about your child? 

In Episode 8, we are talking about one of the most challenging aspects of having a child facing charges, on probation, or incarcerated. The challenge of how to approach talking to others about it. We'll discuss all the ins and outs of who you should trust with this information, what you should tell, and what to do when someone asks you and simply put, you believe it's none of their business. We'll also talk about the top reasons most of us are reluctant to share this information and the powerful shift we experience when sharing our struggles. We'll help you fight off any anxiety you might be feeling about what to tell people by helping you come up with your go-to phrase.

We all have different interpretations about what it means to be strong during a crisis. But, so often, when we find ourselves in the thick of it, our perception of what we should or shouldn’t reasonably be able to handle can be a little off.

In this episode, I discuss what I think it means to be strong and the importance of managing your mental health as you navigate this season.

Title: E. 6: What to expect: Your child

Release Date: Month, Day, 2021

Speaker: Angie Frey

In Episode Six we talk about the child at the center of it all,  your son or daughter, who has temporarily gone off track and is learning in real-time how to navigate the juvenile court system while feeling the full impact of a decision they made gone wrong.

Up until now, we’ve primarily talked about the feelings or experiences of others who have been impacted by the arrest of our child. We haven’t talked about the thoughts and emotions that may be running through the young person whose actually facing criminal charges. Today, we will discuss a few of the emotions the young people I interviewed identified with and the important role you play in their journey through this.

Episode 5: What to expect: Siblings

Host: Angie Frey

Having a child in crisis affects the entire family. Amid chaos and emotions, it's easy to overlook other family members who may not be directly involved, particularly siblings. Whether we talk about it with them or not, our children are very aware of the changes in the family dynamic and that the stress of the situation impacts us. This episode discusses how we should talk to our children about their sibling's arrest or incarceration.  We also talk about the three things you should consider before having that conversation.

Studies show that couples argue more during their child's teen years than they do any other time in their child's developmental years. In episode four, we take at look at some of the ways having a child in crisis can impact your marriage/domestic relationship. From different parenting styles to the slippery slope of “Don’t tell dad,” I share a few lessons I had to learn the hard way. The show wraps up with a great practical trip to help keep you both on the same team.

Title: E. 3: What to expect: From yourself 

Speaker: Angie Frey

In Episode Three, we discuss the importance of understanding trauma while walking through this journey. More specifically, the trauma associated with parenting a child facing criminal charges.  We hear the advice of other moms who have walked this very same road, those who have faced this trauma, and hope to help strengthen you as you are walking through your own journey.

In Episode One, we take a look at the Juvenile Courts System. 
We talk through a little about what happens after an arrest, the diversion program (12:35), Detention (13:00), and Attorneys (15:00).  We also talk about what to expect at a hearing (19:00), Terms and Conditions (26:00), and Pretrial Hearings (28:30). Most importantly, though, we talk about how having a child in crisis is not an indicator of whether or not you are a good mom.

Welcome to Unyielding

My name is Angie, and as your host, my goal is to sit with you and meet you right where you are. To pick up on the conversation that is already going on in your head. I'm not afraid of tough conversations, and I'm not shy about giving a voice to the struggles you are facing. Most importantly, I'm here to remind you of all the ways the unyielding love you feel for your child reveals itself.

In this space, we show our scars. We don't pretend or hide in shame. We learn to stand together and pick each other up on the hard days. We remind each other what this fight is for.

In this space, we face our challenges with courage and learn that shame and isolation are driven out when we are brave enough to share our broken parts.

2,000,000. That's how many podcasts are out there today.  2 million podcasts, and YOU LANDED HERE. I'm so that glad that you did.

Today this journey you're on turns a corner. 
Today we take back some control.  Control, which comes from having choices. 

Today we are choosing companionship over isolation. 

We're choosing compassion over shame.
Today, we're choosing HOPE.

Pathways to Hope Network is a non-profit organization that provides cost-free support and community to parents with youth facing criminal allegations. In Series 1, Into The Unknown, there will be six episodes. In each episode, we walk you through what to expect on this journey and provide you with resources and support.
