Joyful Happymom ,

Lifesaver!!!

You are an absolute lifesaver to me!!!! Everything you talk about and say resonates with me and my teen. Whenever I’m having difficulty or a bad day I re listen to your podcasts and immediately am brought out of my panic!!!! Thank you so much for your guidance and support. Please keep making these podcasts!! My teen thanks you for teaching me to be a better parent and handle all things better. Lots of love Vanessa in Las Vegas!!!

Distance Ryder ,

Much needed inspiration to help parents

Glad to see someone addressing this topic, as it is so difficult to help a teen that on the outside seems grumbly and as a parent feeling lost to help them pull out of the moods.
