Even more than 31 flavors, disapointment is so varied and unavoidable in parenting.

They lied. Again

Their apprearance is embarrassing

They failed a quiz, class or college

They are breaking all the rules

They don't care about us or their family

I've heard too many disapointments to name, but they all have the same foundation, drive the same way of thinking, which yeilds outcomes that parents come to me with to help fix.

Today I break it all down for you so that you can find more peace and contentment wherever life finds your parenting right now. Listen in and lets find answers together. xoxo

Your teen lies and suddenly your brain is off to the races.

Why would they do this?
Why can't they just tell me the truth?
They know better.
How do I stop this?
Can I even trust them anymore?

And before we know it, the lie starts to mean something much bigger. We wonder if we failed. If they're headed down the wrong path. If this says something terrible about their character… or ours.

In this reprise episode of the Pivot Parenting Podcast, I'm revisiting one of my favorite topics because it changes everything: lying.

Yep. We're talking about your little lying-McLie-mouth.

I'm going to challenge the way most of us think about dishonesty, why teens lie in the first place, what fear and self-protection have to do with it, and why parenting from panic usually backfires.

This episode is full of perspective shifts and truth bombs that will help you move from fear and control to curiosity, connection, and influence.

Because when we understand the why behind the behavior, we stop parenting from "fix it" energy and start responding in ways that actually work.

You may never look at your teen's lying the same way again… and honestly, that could be very good news for both of you.

There is a legitimate reason you're feeling stuck, broken, or are hurting. I will help you discover it so that you can heal it. I firmly believe that your struggles can become your strength. Let me show you how. xoxo

When you hear "objectification," you probably think of something sexual. But it shows up in parenting more than we realize.

It happens when we see our kids as a reflection of us, a measure of our success, or a project to manage instead of a person to understand. And once that shift happens, it becomes easier to justify frustration, control, and disconnection.

In this episode, I walk you through the subtle ways this shows up with your teen and how to catch it early. Awareness alone can change everything, but I will also show you exactly how to shift your thinking and your behavior so you can see your child clearly again.

This is one of those conversations that, once you see it, you cannot unsee it. To more fully understand, embrace and implement what I teach, book a free Discover Your Disconnection Pattern call with me.
