Eps 336: Solo Show Helping our Teens Feel Seen
Episode 334
Today I am back with a FRESH solo show for you! I dig into the phrase “I believe you” as I understand it from Dr. Becky Kennedy’s work. What would have happened if our parents had said that to us as teens? What could it open up in our relationship with our OWN teens if we are willing to say it to them?

What does Joyful Courage mean to you?
Today, stepping into joyful courage is all about trusting the process and the power of being in relationship with my kids. Joyful courage is letting go of the idea that I can prevent choices that I might not like from happening, and instead believing that every experience and decision my kids make is something for them to learn from and will lead them forward towards who they are meant to be. Joyful courage is saying “I believe you” and meaning it.\
