"Send Ben a text"

Your teen might hate you sometimes… and you can still have a great relationship with them.

Most parents think their relationship with their teen is something they both share. But that’s not how it works. You have your own relationship with your teen, and your teen has their own relationship with you—and they’re not the same.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 • Why your teen’s thoughts and feelings are NOT your job
 • Why trying to make your teen like you actually hurts the relationship
 • How to stop being a “doormat parent”
 • How to set calm and clear boundaries
 • How to focus on the things you can control
• How to improve your relationship with your teen even if they don’t change at all

If you want more peace, more confidence, and more connection with your teen, this episode will show you where your real power is.
