Do you ever catch yourself trying to "fix" everything for your kid, only to feel like they're pulling further away from you? Or maybe you're the one who grew up feeling like you had to be the perfect Christian kid, holding it all together so your parents wouldn't worry?

If either of those hits close to home, this episode is for you.

I brought on my friend Kristen Phillips, a Christian teen anxiety coach and high school counselor, for a conversation that honestly wrecked me in the best way. We got real about the pressure moms carry, the pressure teens carry, and the stuff nobody really talks about out loud in church.

Grab your coffee for this one, you're going to want to sit with it a while.

If you have a teen daughter heading back to school this year, stick around to the end, Kristen's got something special for her too!
