    It’s SO frustrating when your kid doesn’t take your advice, isn’t it?!

I thought that’s what a good parent looked like...

    118. What Success Looks Like for Young Adults With Joanna Lilley

    It’s natural to feel uneasy when your kid strays from the socially accepted path of college, career, and other traditional milestones. But as today’s guest Joanna points out, the reality is that the so-called "normal" path is often the exception, not the rule. The world has changed dramatically, and success now comes in many forms. Degrees, certifications, and fulfilling careers don’t always look like they used to, and that’s okay.As parents, we’re fearful of our teen’s choices because it loo...

    115. Understanding and Overcoming Fear in Family Dynamics

    Fear has a sneaky way of impacting our brains, pushing us toward avoiding what feels uncomfortable instead of working through it. For many of us, fear makes us want to avoid the situation, but doing that keeps us from working through what needs to be done.It’s important to understand that fear is an emotion that comes and goes, just like other emotions. But what does fear bring up in us as parents, and in our struggling teens? Thinking back to the time before our son went to wilderness, I rem...
