The #1 Reason You Feel Exhausted

Raising teenagers can be EXHAUSTING; in this episode, we discuss the #1 reason for it. 

Join the conversation as I talk about the “Backpack Principle.” 

This new way principle brings awareness and clarity to what it looks like to begin the process of loving detachment. I’ve been practicing it for a couple of weeks now, and it has been a GAME CHANGER in our family.

We’ll also discuss why detaching is so uncomfortable.

  • Two questions to ask yourself before you jump in to instruct, solve or protect your teen.
  • Switching roles from Director to Advisor
  • And more..

Episode Take Aways....

Grow in your awareness of backpack moments this week. When confronted with them, ask yourself...

1.  Have they been given what I believe is wisdom on this matter, or in other words, have we covered this before?

2.  Am I willing to allow this to be theirs?
