Letting Go of Resentment when Parenting Teens Feels Thankless | Ep. 263

from The Almost Empty Nest—Letting Go, Redefined: Parenting Teens and Finding Yourself Again—with Small Jar Coach · host Master Coach Jennifer Collins

Do you ever feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone else's needs while your own go unseen? If you're a mom navigating parenting teens or the empty nest, resentment can become part of daily life...showing up as frustration, exhaustion, disconnection, and the feeling that no matter how much you do, it's never enough. In this episode, I'm exploring why resentment is so common in motherhood, what keeps it simmering beneath the surface, and why it can have such a powerful impact on your relationships, confidence, and emotional well-being. Letting go of resentment isn't about caring less. It's about creating more peace, freedom, and connection for yourself and the people you love. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
