Core Topic: Helping moms of teens drop the overwhelm and reconnect, with their teen and themselves, starting with nervous system regulation.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does parenting my teen feel this hard?”
You’re not alone. And you’re not doing it wrong.

In this first episode of Root to Ring: A Resilient Parenting Podcast, we’re naming what most moms are silently carrying — and why it’s not about your parenting skills, but your nervous system load.

We’ll pull back the curtain on why parenting teens today feels so personal, pressure-filled, and exhausting. And more importantly? We’ll start rewriting the story:
→ One where calm is a skill, not a personality trait
→ One where connection starts with you

What You'll Learn:

• Why parenting teens in 2025 feels heavier than ever
• The invisible emotional load modern moms are carrying
• How regulating you helps restore trust and connection
• A new lens for understanding your triggers, without shame
• Why true change starts with you, not your teen

Key Belief Shifts:

• You’re not broken. You’re parenting in a system that never supported you.
• Calm isn’t your personality. It’s your practice.
• Control won’t give you peace, but regulation will.

Quotes to Remember:

“You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a regulated nervous system.”
“Your teen doesn’t need a perfect mom. They need a present one.”
“This isn’t just a parenting problem. It’s a pressure problem.”
