The Wright Spot

01/06/2026

2025 asked a lot — and gave even more.

This year stretched me, taught me, and reminded me to stay curious, teachable, and rooted in the kind of care I want to offer. I taught more couples than I ever imagined, supported many bodies as they transformed through and after pregnancy, and shared the birthing space with some amazing parents and their chosen teams. I was continually humbled by the trust placed in me throughout it all.

I created a massage room with my own two hands — one that feels calm, intentional, and deeply aligned with the work I love. Along the way, I found a beautiful group of like-minded, inclusive birth workers who have become an increasingly close and grounding community that I’m so thankful for.

I’m endlessly grateful to Bliss Birth Center for modeling the kind of respectful, evidence-based, compassionate care every birthing person deserves, and for letting me be a part of that amazing team.

Thank you to every family who showed up open, brave, and willing to be supported. Thank you for choosing informed decision-making, for asking questions, and for letting me walk beside you — whether in the teaching room, the birth room, or on the massage table.

If you have tweens and teens in your home, Stop and read this! So good. 👏

You asked, so here it is. The six things I would never do or that I do as a parent of teens because I’m a psychotherapist.

Let’s get into it……in no certain order.

6 Parenting rules I follow as a psychotherapist
1. I allow my teens to draw boundaries with me.
After all, how can I expect them to be able to lay boundaries and keep them in life if they don’t have practice at home? This sounds like…..”Please don’t pepper me with questions the minute you pick me up from school, I would like you to wait until I’ve gotten home and had a snack to talk about my day” or “Can we designate one day each week to discuss my school work so I don’t have to talk about it all the time?”
You asked, so here it is. The six things I would never do or that I do as a parent of teens because I’m a psychotherapist.
2. I don’t punish my teenagers with passive aggressive comments when they do show up.
I hear many adults say things like “ohhhh look who decided to come to dinner” or ” well if Joey would spend more than 5 minutes outside of his room then maybe we could talk once in a while.” As teens they are going to spend much time in their rooms…..just know that and stop using it as some sort of label for how angsty they are as a teen. Just stop mentioning it at all. If you want to spend time with them or have a chat, then keep inviting. Keep making plans together. Keep knocking and popping in for a chat on their bed. When they do come out…..just enjoy them.

3. I let them be the “expert” from time to time.
Teens are often standing on a pedestal of knowing…..they want you to see how knowledgeable they are and sometimes they will act like they know…even when they don’t. They aren’t all the sudden a “know it all”….they are learning and growing and figuring this out. They are building confidence. It takes nothing from me to shut my mouth and prevent myself from proving them wrong.

4. When my teens are telling me a story that involves their friends….I don’t judge their friends.
I don’t ask too many questions because I know that will shut them down, and they will become protective of that friend. I allow myself just a couple of questions and exercise curiosity and compassion for whatever their friend is dealing with. I don’t use their friend as an example of “what not to do” and I don’t bring up the issue again unless they do.

5. My tried and true….. I believe in my kids unconditionally.
I don’t care how many mistakes my teen has made…..I keep my unconditional belief of their capability. They will never see doubt on my face when they try again. This face and this mouth exude unconditional belief for their ability to conquer anything that comes their way….anything they decide to try……any leap they choose…..I will be clapping the loudest in the room and will never remind them of mistakes from the past.

6. I take care of my Self so I can parent from a healthy place.
I never approach a hard conversation with my teen until I have ensured I am coming to them in Self. Not from a hurt part, or a rejected part. Not from a younger part or a part that thinks they know. I take good care of my Self on a daily basis so I am whole enough to lead from a place of safety and security.

I never forgot how it felt to be a teen and that helps guide me while remembering that THIS teen before me is not me….even when they act a lot like me. They are not me and they have a different story with different emotions attached.

Remember the post about always answering their call? This is what happens when you don’t. 🤣 Doesn’t matter that you were teaching class. Parenting teens is fun. And I mean that. Also, I guess they never stop asking what’s for dinner? 😑

No matter how tired I am, no matter how early I planned on going to bed, I try to be present if they flop on the bed. Same for answering their calls.

I listen with my entire heart.

They opened their bedroom door or picked up their phone and CHOSE YOU.

I listen because I care.

I listen because they may need me.

I listen because this is our time.

I listen because it won’t be like this forever.

I listen because I want to take in these moments and always remember.

I listen because this is when they’re open and relaxed and feel the freedom to share what lies deep in their hearts.

I listen because it’s times like these that strengthen our relationship and remind my kiddos that they mean the world to me and that even though I need toothpicks to keep my stupid eyelids open, I love them enough to listen because it means something to to us and our relationship.

I listen because I am so very grateful I was a safe choice for them to make.

Thanks for the call, kiddo. I’m off to remove the toothpicks from my eyelids and sink into sleep, heart full and content.

Love sharing space with these humans. Working hard every day to educate, empower, and encourage others. To build people up and remind them of their rights and autonomy. Build your team. Don’t settle.

I know, I know. I say I love what I do all the time. But this? This is what it’s about. What keeps us going. Watching the untapped power turning into bona fide empowerment; witnessing the inner doubt be shed as pure strength erupts; finding their grit and working through tears, watching them question if they can do it at all and then absolutely roaring their baby into this world.

It moves me to tears. It talks to my soul. It says keep going.

Four new lives were brought Earthside today. I’m so freaking proud of each of these families.
