Sometimes Love Isn"t Enough: The Parenting Through... ·

2026/04/11

For generations, parenting has been rooted in hierarchy. Adults lead. Kids follow. And when things get hard… we fall back on: "because I said so." But what if that model is exactly what's creating the power struggles, shutdown, and disconnection so many families are experiencing? In this episode, Angie explores what it really means to move out of old parenting patterns rooted in control and into a new way of leading our families—one built on connection, trust, and empowerment. This isn't about

Few parenting challenges create more daily tension right now than screens. Phones, gaming, YouTube, TikTok—technology is woven into our kids' lives in ways most of us never experienced growing up. And when parents try to set limits, what often follows are power struggles, meltdowns, sneaking, and constant negotiations. In this episode, Angie explores why screen time so easily becomes a battleground and why traditional approaches—like strict rules or sudden removal—often backfire. Instead of focusing

Many parents know exactly what they should do. They've read the books. They understand the strategies. They know yelling doesn't help. They know connection matters. And yet… in the moment, they still react. Why? In this episode, Angie explores the powerful reason knowledge alone rarely changes parenting behavior. Because when stress rises, we don't operate from information—we operate from conditioning. Parents aren't just responding to their child's behavior. They're responding from years of nervous

Most parents have had that moment. The moment when the stress builds, patience runs out, and suddenly we hear our own voice louder than we ever intended. We yell. And then the guilt sets in.

2026/03/07

When your child avoids homework, drags their feet, shuts down, or seems completely unmotivated… it's easy to think: They're just being lazy. But what if laziness isn't the problem? In this episode, Angie unpacks what's really underneath the label of "lazy" — for both kids and parents.
