Struggling to connect with your teenager? You’re not alone, and it may not be your teen that needs to change.

I share five key patterns that can create disconnection and how small, intentional shifts can rebuild trust and closeness. 💡 What I Talk About: Why your teenager is not a problem to fix (shifting from control-based paren...

Ep 32. 5 Foundations for Teen Mental Health & Wellbeing

Parents & Teens Rising: Practical Tools for Raising... ·

2026/03/25

In this episode, I’m diving into five foundational areas that have a powerful impact on your teen’s mental health and overall well-being. These aren’t complicated or groundbreaking ideas, but they’re the things that often get overlooked in the busyness of everyday life or avoided because they can feel like a constant battle. And just to be clear, this isn’t about perfection. I don’t know any teen (or adult) who has all of these dialed in perfectly. What we’re aiming for is high standards with...

2026/03/11

Are you helping your teen athlete grow, or are you accidentally adding more pressure? In this episode, I talk about how sports can be one of the most powerful developmental experiences in a young person’s life, and it's one way teens can learn perseverance, teamwork, leadership, and how to bounce back after mistakes. But there’s something we don’t talk about enough... The role parents play in shaping that experience. What we say from the sidelines, in the car ride home, and during the hard...

Out there, they learn they can do hard things, discover strength they didn’t know they had, connect with people outside their usual circles, and feel the freedom of being fully themselves. Here are seven powerful lessons they carry back from our Rites of Passage journeys: Resilience – “I can do hard things and survive.”Inner Strength & Confidence – uncovering courage they didn’t know they had.Unexp...

Parents & Teens Rising: Practical Tools for Raising... ·

2026/02/18

In this episode, I break down what respect really looks like during adolescence, why it matters so deeply, and how we can lead our teens with both firmness and dignity. When teens feel dismissed, talked down to, or controlled, their brains go into defense mode. But when they feel respected, they’re far more likely to stay open, honest, and cooperative even when the conversation is hard. So often, we fall into the mindset that respect is something our teen has to earn. But the trut...

Parents & Teens Rising: Practical Tools for Raising... ·

2026/02/11

I’m sharing a simple but powerful shift that can completely change your relationship with your teenager: learning what’s actually in your control and what isn’t. When your teen is shutting down, acting out, bringing attitude home, or struggling with motivation, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of trying to control their behavior in the heat of the moment. But the truth is, the more we try to control what we can’t, the more disconnected and overwhelmed we feel. In this conversation, I break ...

Teen confidence isn’t something your kid either “has” or doesn’t have; it’s something we can build. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 core skills I teach teens and young adults to help them move from anxiety and avoidance into real self-trust and forward motion.

Today I’m sharing some thoughts I’ve been sitting with as I look at what’s happening in the world, and in everyday life. I keep coming back to the same idea: we’re missing clear pathways into adulthood. This episode is about what initiation is, what changes when young people are actually guided through it, and why rites of passage is at the heart of what we do at Guided Passages. Key takeaways: New freedoms come with new responsibilities: adulthood isn’t a free-for-all—it’s a role...

In Part 4 of The Up-Level Reset, I'm closing out the mini-series with a powerful identity shift for 2026 because real change doesn’t stick when it’s built on pressure, willpower, or all-or-nothing resolutions. This episode helps you shift from outcome-based goals (“I need to fix this”) to identity-based change (“I’m the kind of person who…”), so your habits actually have somewhere to live. We’ll also uncover the feeling beneath your goals, explore how tiny, repeated wins rewire your brain ove...
