Let's be honest. Between work, kids, and the house you have a lot going on.
And it can feel super overwhelming. Especially when we don't feel like we are juggling all of the plates well.
Yes, stress is a normal part of life. But there comes a time when the stress is more than usual. And that is what to help you with today.
To help us with managing our stress I brought my guest, Whitney. In this episode, Whitney shares:

How we can check in with our bodies and pick up on those feelings when we're feeling a lot of stress
How we can do some inner work so that we can start developing ways that we can deal with our stress a lot better.
A four-step process for helping us with finding that balance and working through the stress. And you will be surprised because it is a very simple process.
Some in-the-moment things that we can do to help with dealing with stress.
How we can find ways to manage stress within the home so that we can develop strategies so that overall, the household is not overwhelming us.

So if this sounds like something that you could use, you definitely want to stay tuned and listen to this full episode.
Whitney helped me out a ton and I know she can help you as well.

[149] Having Trouble Talking to Your Teen? Communication Tips for Moms with Teens with Maria Fahrner Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

Send me a text

Even though my kids are young, I feel like I have a teenager (or two) sometimes. Especially, when I'm talking to my oldest and he tells me I don't listen to him when I actually listen to everything he says. That stings.

My biggest fear is my kids grow up and don't want to talk to me about their problems, issues, or struggles. Honestly, I was beginning to feel like my 8-year-old wasn't opening up to me like he used to.

Whenever I feel like I am struggling with parenting or not getting through to my kids, I always reach out to moms who have been there and done that.

I reached out to a mother and grandmother that has over 30 years of experience with working with families for this problem. My friend Maria, from The Moms I know Podcast. In the latest episode of the podcast, Maria shares:

Practical tips for communicating with your teen
The best way to respond when your teenager or big kid opens up to you
When you should leave your child alone and when to intervene
Helpful advice on communication with your teenager

One big takeaway is when my kids are talking to me about their problems, I need to listen carefully and not make fun of them or laugh at their problems.

This seems simple, but it's a reminder that everyone wants to feel validated and not judged when they are opening up.

If you have a teenager (or big kid) that you need a little help with communication with, this episode is for you.

ABOUT MARIA
Maria is an educator, mother, grandmother, and podcaster with over thirty years of experience in working with families. She is passionate about empowering moms to make conscious choices and supporting them to find joy and fulfillment in their parenting journey.
