How My Messy Teen Is Helping Me Heal #183

This week I share a story of how my messy teen helped me discover some deeply unhealed parts of myself. Learning to parent our children in a completely different way than we were parented can be so exhausting, confusing, and difficult.I discuss:- my relationship with constant, high stress- the book I am reading that is helping me change my brain- how journaling opened my understanding - why messes trigger me so bad- the importance of setting boundaries- the incredible conversation we had with our teen- how I am learning to balance the things I "see"- my advice to other parents who want to break the unhealthy parenting cycle and write their own story
