Parenting Teens in the Age of Find My iPhone—Why More Information Doesn't Bring More Peace | Ep. 267

Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind fills in the blanks when you don't know what your teen or young adult is doing? In this episode, I share a very personal 3 a.m. story that revealed something surprising about my own parenting... and why having more information doesn't actually create more peace. We'll explore the hidden connection between anxiety, uncertainty, and our urge to keep checking, tracking, or seeking reassurance. If you're navigating parenting teens, an approaching empty nest, or learning the delicate balance of letting go, this conversation will help you build the self-trust that matters most. You'll walk away with a powerful mindset shift that can help you stop overthinking, ease anxiety, and experience motherhood with more confidence, connection, and peace even when you don't have all the answers. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
