Show Notes

Ever feel like you're lost in the maze of parenting? Well, guess what? It might be because you're not exactly sure where you want to go or who you want to be as a parent. Yep, that could be the key to your unhappiness too. The author of this text offers a free audio course, Parenting from the Inside Out, where they dive into the first big thing – your identity. If you're not clear on who you want to be, it's like trying to navigate without a map.

One of the keys to being lost as a parent is dwelling on what you don't want. Apparently, it's a buzzkill for both teens and parents. Instead of obsessing over the no-nos, the advice is to figure out what you actually want. 

Stop fixating on things you can't control. Want to be the coolest parent your teen wants to chat with? Well, that might not be entirely in your hands. 

You focus on what you can control, like showering your teen with love and respect no matter what.

And here's a big one – live in alignment with your true desires by experimenting. Yep, parenting comes with those "what the heck do I do now" moments.

Take some blind action, see what works, and adjust course as needed. It's all about learning from the messy, sometimes icky moments to figure out the parent you want to be.

Every tough moment is a golden chance to practice Being the Parent of your Dreams!
