Turn the Lens Inward is for parents of teens and adult children who feel overwhelmed, disrespected, or afraid of losing the relationship. In this podcast, I guide you to understand your triggers, release fear-based and codependent patterns, and learn how to respond instead of react. This work is about emotional responsibility, healthy boundaries, and self-leadership so you can feel calmer, steadier, and create space for real reconnection. It may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility.Lisa Taylor 個人的成功 自己啓発

  • Is Your Neurodivergent Child Ready for College? An Expert’s Guide to Independence with Dr. Radhika Achari | EP 19

    Is Your Neurodivergent Child Ready for College? An Expert’s Guide to Independence with Dr. Radhika Achari | EP 19
    2026/10/14

    What happens when our kids go from the highly supported environment of high school to suddenly being expected to manage college, deadlines, accommodations, relationships, and everyday life on their own?

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Radhika Achari, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and mother of a neurodivergent child, to talk about how we can help our teens and young adults build the skills they need to become more independent.

    Dr. Achari shares her personal experience navigating her son’s autism and sensory processing diagnoses, and how learning to advocate, collaborate with professionals, and focus on progress changed her approach to parenting. We also explore the transition from an IEP-supported high school environment to college, where young adults are suddenly expected to advocate for themselves and manage much more on their own.

    Whether your child is neurodivergent or neurotypical, this conversation is an important reminder that we can’t control everything our kids will experience. But we can help them develop the skills, confidence, and resilience to navigate those experiences for themselves.

    _________________________________

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    • Independence needs to be taught. Give your teen opportunities to manage routines, solve problems, communicate, and advocate for themselves before they leave home.

    • Shift from problem-solver to coach. Instead of doing everything for your child, guide them through the process and let them take the lead.

    • Focus on the skills you can build. You can’t control what your child experiences, but you can help them develop resilience, emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and confidence.

  • Are You Suffering More Than You Need To? A New Perspective for Parents with Kat Finnerty | EP 18

    Are You Suffering More Than You Need To? A New Perspective for Parents with Kat Finnerty | EP 18
    2026/09/30
    When our child is struggling with mental health, addiction, anxiety, or simply a difficult season, it can feel impossible not to struggle right alongside them. But supporting our children doesn’t have to mean carrying their pain, fixing every problem, or living in constant fear of what might happen next.In this episode, I sit down with Kat Finnerty, author of Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste, for a powerful conversation about perspective, resilience, suffering, and learning to respond differently when life doesn’t go according to plan.Kat shares what she has learned through her own experiences with multiple sclerosis, depression, divorce, grief, motherhood, and years of studying Buddhist philosophy and other wisdom traditions. We talk about why we can become consumed by our children’s struggles, how the stories we tell ourselves can deepen our suffering, and why not every problem is ours to fix.We also explore how our own stress and reactions affect our families, what it means to let our children walk their own path, and how shifting our perspective can help us find peace even when the circumstances around us haven’t changed.This conversation reminded me that we can deeply love and support our children without allowing their struggles to consume our lives._________________________________KEY TAKEAWAYS: Not every problem is ours to fix. We can support our children without taking ownership of their journey.Our perspective can change our experience. We may not control what happens, but we can choose how we respond.Our healing affects our children. When we model hope and resilience, we create a healthier environment for our families._________________________________EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: parenting a struggling child, parental anxiety, parenting teens, parenting young adults, child mental health, teen mental health, addiction recovery for families, supporting a child with addiction, parental stress, letting go of control as a parent, how to stop worrying about your child, resilience for parents, emotional regulation for parents, changing your perspective, family mental health, breaking generational patterns, parent self-healing, coping with family crisis, mindfulness for parents, gratitude and resilience, Kat Finnerty, Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste, Turn the Lens Inward podcast_________________________________⭐If this episode resonated with you, I invite you to subscribe and continue this journey with me.

  • Is Your Teen Struggling? The Warning Signs Parents Shouldn’t Ignore with Michele Pilon | EP 17

    Is Your Teen Struggling? The Warning Signs Parents Shouldn’t Ignore with Michele Pilon | EP 17
    2026/09/16

    When your teen starts pulling away, becoming more emotional, or acting differently, how do you know what’s normal adolescence and what could be a mental health warning sign?


    In this episode of Turn the Lens Inward, Lisa Taylor sits down with mental health clinician and Mental Health First Aid trainer Michele Pilon to talk about what parents need to know about teen mental health, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and crisis intervention.


    Michele shares practical ways to recognize changes in your teen, start difficult conversations without blame or shame, and know when it’s time to seek professional help. Lisa and Michele also explore why helping a struggling teen often requires parents to turn the lens inward too, examining their own communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and family patterns.


    If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this normal teenage behaviour, or is my child actually struggling?” this conversation will help you know what to look for and what to do next.

    _________________________________

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    • Look for changes, not just “bad” behaviour. Social withdrawal, loss of interest, intense emotions, and changes in everyday functioning can signal something deeper.

    • Connection starts with curiosity, not correction. Instead of immediately trying to fix the problem, label the behaviour, or tell your teen what to do, start with what you’ve noticed.

    • Supporting your child may require changing yourself, too. Therapy can give teens incredible tools, but lasting change is difficult when they return to the same family patterns.
