➡️Balancing boundaries when parenting adolescents!💯

By Megan Bayles Bartley, LMFT “My 12 year-old daughter thinks I’m the meanest parent in the world because I won’t let her go to the mall with a friend unsupervised party. Am I being overprotective? Am I pushing her away by setting these limits?” If you’ve ever asked yourself questions like...

🤩My lates blog about teens and emotions!🧐

By Megan Bayles Bartley, LMFT We’ve all been there—standing in the kitchen, completely blindsided by our teenager’s emotional response to what seemed like a simple question. “How was your day?” somehow escalated into slammed doors and tears, leaving you wondering, “What just happened?”...

When my husband was 13yo, he read a book about Shackleton's survival storyin Antarctica.

For the past 37 years, he's been dreaming of stepping foot on Antarctica, which would be his (and my) 7th continent. 🤩

This past year, my husband turned 50, and we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. ❤️

To commemorate these major milestones, we took our 12yo and 14yo with us to Antarctica to help Ben realize his life-long dream. 🐧

The first morning I woke up and saw land, my first thought was, "This is UNREAL!!" The one word that describes Antarctica is Magestic. It is incredible!

It has been a wonderfully transformative experience for all of us. 💯😎
