Eps 645: Parenting from Trust with Debbie Simmons

from Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens · host Casey O'Roarty

Are you parenting from trust—or survival? In this episode I sit down with Debbie Simmons, mom of thirteen and leadership strategist, to explore the hidden defaults that hijack our parenting when pressure hits—control, silence, over-functioning, people pleasing. We talk about why being the "strong one" in your family might actually be costing you your health and your connection with your teen. Debbie shares her T.R.U.S.T. framework and we dig into how letting go of control opens the door to the relationship your teen actually needs from you. This one will shift something in you. About Debbie Simmons: Debbie Simmons is a keynote speaker, author, leadership strategist, and CEO of Anchor Point. Known as The Legacy Architect, she guides high-capacity leaders from success into significance through her Architecture of Trust framework. A mother of thirteen—four in heaven, nine through adoption—Debbie is the author of The Heart of Legacy and creator of The Vision Day Experience. Learn more at thedebbiesimmons.com.
