Ever felt blindsided by your teen’s anger and wondered, “Why are they taking this out on me?”

What if that anger isn’t disrespect… defiance… or attitude — but anxiety looking for somewhere safe to land?

In this episode, we walk through a powerful Dear Diary-style story from a parent navigating one of those emotionally charged days, and unpack what teenagers are really communicating when big emotions explode at home.

You’ll learn three practical anchors to help you respond with confidence instead of reacting in the heat of the moment:

✔️ Why your teen’s anger is rarely personal

✔️ How managing your emotions teaches lifelong regulation

✔️ The simple question that can stop an emotional spiral instantly

Plus — tangible ways to lower defences, soften your presence, and become the safe harbour your child needs when their nervous system is overwhelmed.

If you’ve ever walked away from a parenting moment feeling hurt, confused, or triggered — this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and show you exactly what to do next.

Come listen, feel reassured, and leave with tools you can use today.

Understand the underbelly of friendship issues with your teen and why it hits their self esteem.

Hear an example of how support can look with a story example of what they need to hear

When friendships fall apart, anxious teens often believe it means something is wrong with them.

In this episode, I explore how friendship anxiety quietly erodes self-esteem — and how parents can protect their teen’s sense of self during friendship conflict, rumours, and social fallout, without fixing, rushing, or unintentionally making things worse.

When your teenager says “I’m fine” — but clearly isn’t — it can leave you feeling helpless and unsure how to respond.

This episode explores why friendship anxiety in teens isn’t really about friends, but about belonging, identity, and self-worth. If your child feels left out at school or like they don’t fit in, you’ll learn why fixing can make things worse — and what actually helps anxious teens feel steadier, seen, and supported.

Because your teen doesn’t need to belong everywhere.

They need to believe they’re worthy anywhere.
