50: The Real Reason You Feel Anxious and Powerless | Parenting Teens

from Think New Thoughts · host Emily Ricks

Have you ever tried to run your teenager's life—and ended up running yourself into the ground? You worry about their choices, think about what they should be doing, and try to steer them toward what you believe is best. But even with the best intentions, that pressure can leave you feeling anxious, lonely, and powerless. In this episode, you'll learn the sneaky way we step out of our own business and into our teen's—or even God's—and why it costs us so much peace. You'll also discover how to return to the one place where you actually do have power, let go of what was never yours to control, and show up with more calm, connection, and influence.   Come join me for 8 weeks of 1:1 coaching and trade guilt and self-doubt for peace, confidence and purpose.  Now is the time, my friend!  Learn more at www.emilyrickscoaching.com/coaching --------------------------------------------------- Helping LDS moms of teens navigate parenting with more connection, trust, joy, and inner peace through gospel-centered life coaching, thought work, and practical tools from a parenting coach that align with LDS doctrine and scripture.
