You didn’t become a parent to self abandon. None of us did, but it can happen so easily.

The seeds you are planting for your teenager, might not be seen during these adolescent years.

Sometimes the only way you can mange that, is to not forget your role outside of being a parent.

Staying connected to yourself might look like:

- a drink of water
- a boundary to not have a conversation in order to choose your words wisely
- a limit on weekend pick up time since you don’t regularly go to bed at 1 am
- getting super clear what behavior triggers you and what they say about you, not your teen

The best advice I have it to think of it as “now I’m with you and your needs. Now I’m with myself and my needs. And back and forth.”

Loose connection to yourself,
and generally the ship goes down.

Need help with this? DM for parent coaching support or to join my parents of teens group.

It’s not arrogant to think, when I meet this new person, they will find me interesting, dynamic and valuable. When you feel that way about yourself as a teenager, having a friend group doesn’t become your end all be all.

This is incredibly tough at this developmental juncture as a teenager, but absolutely critical these seeds are planted prior to stepping into young adulthood.

Do you like YOU? If not, let’s start there.

I’m not saying to not choose the people you feel closest to, to grow with, but if someone sits down and starts to say something and no one replies that is just downright shocking.

Why is this going on? And who wouldn’t stare at a phone after that, and choose to never venture out.

Gussie is grateful this holiday season to witness your growth, and be a part of your journey! Hopefully he’s brought love, acceptance and comfort to you too!

Teens are craving greater aliveness in connection.

What if we helped them figure out how that occurs?

What if they just needed some guidance back to relational curiosity.

There is so much hope and possibility for the desires of this generation. That desire is far more powerful than any device around.

The teen years from ages 13-14, always seem to be the hardest.

By age 15, I notice both logic and emotion emerges for teens.

It is scary for teens to experience a gas pedal of emotions, and not know how to apply perspective.

It’s even more confusing for parents to witness.

This is all very normal, and a right of passage in leaving childhood.

Feeling feelings overwhelming and consuming. It’s important we teach teens how to THINK their way thru feelings too.

One of the hardest things for teens, is knowing that feelings pass.

They need to be able to understand that on a given day most humans feel 5-10 emotions from the time they wake up.

This is a normal part of being human, and not always a “mental health crisis.”

It’s about gaining durability, grit and stamina for what life throws at you.

And then waking up, and doing it all over again.

Welcome to life. Let’s start challenging what TicTok has sold teens.

I have a very good feeling we are on the brink of a massive shift. One where teens, no longer want to consume content, and are seeking out avenues for vitality.

Every era historically, has had massive trends and flips. Teens are on the brink of this, and I wholeheartedly believe in them.

I see that teens are getting sick and tired, and ready for a radical change.

If you want to stop doomscrolling on the weekends with the blinds closed, I’ve created a series of therapeutic events, that involve taking a risk, showing up, and keeping an open mind.

Message me if you’d like to hear more!

Teens are reporting that they can’t give simple feedback to one another.

This is concerning for their long term development in the adult world.

Teen relationships shouldn’t have to be this fragile.

5 things you can work with your teen on:

1. How to understand someone else’s perspective
2. How to see relationships as a place to grow, evolve and adjust
3. How to not assume other teens are mind readers
4. How to be ok with speaking their truth even if it doesn’t get them the result they want

12/04/2025

Teens are craving changes in the ways they experience interpersonal relationships.

I’ll never forget one of the lines from group this week, a member commented, “literally no one talks to each other, and if they do, they don’t know how.”

The opportunity to guide teens in this area is endless and the desire is really there.

12/01/2025

After 18 years it still feels hard somedays to feel.

But the satisfaction of walking thru an emotion clear minded is incredible.

I’ve tried very hard to “learn myself”, from what I need to function optimally, to what burnout looks like and what my non-negotiable habits and relationships are.

The most important relationship you will have your entire life is the one with yourself. How well you understand yourself, will be a determining factor in every facet of your life.
