"Send Ben a text"

Your teen knows when you’re being real… and when you’re not.

In this episode, Ben and Cortni talk about “fake parenting” and why it pushes teens away. Teens don’t need a perfect parent. They need the real you.

You’ll learn:

• Why fake parenting kills connection
• How to create a 10-word vision statement to guide you
• Why focusing on what you want works better than focusing on what you don’t want
• A simple gratitude hack that makes parenting easier

When you show up as your true self, your teen feels safe, loved, and ready to connect.
