Are you constantly overthinking what to say to your teen—worried that one wrong word will spark another conflict? Do you second-guess every text, every tone, every conversation—wondering if you’re doing it “right”? Have you felt like your worth as a mom rises and falls with your teen’s behavior?

In this episode, we’re going deep into the first 3 secrets to stop walking on eggshells and start showing up with Spirit-led confidence and peace. These are practical, grace-filled shifts that help you reconnect with your teen—not from fear or pressure, but from your God-given identity as a mom who is already fully loved and equipped by God.

You’ll learn:

✨ How to create a safe space that builds trust with your teen

📵 Why unplugging (for YOU—not forcing them) is a powerful first step toward connection

🕊️ How to shift from anxiety to anchored peace when you remember who you are in Christ

Plus, I’ll share my own story of trying to “perform” my way into God’s love—and how that mindset spilled into my parenting. We’ll break down the “He loves me, He loves me not” lie and discover what it looks like to lead your home from a place of knowing: You are already chosen.

Grab a pen and notebook and your favorite latte—we’re rebuilding connection, one Spirit-led moment at a time.

✔️ Spend 5 quiet minutes with God—no performance, just presence.

Ask Him to show you how deeply loved you are, right now. Meditate on Psalm 139:1-18.

✔️ Reflect on a recent moment when you walked on eggshells.

Maybe you overthought a text, held your breath before bringing up a topic, or felt like you failed as a mom.

Then ask: “Lord, what do You want me to know about that moment?”

Write down what you hear Him say. If can’t write it down right now, ask Him to hold it in your heart until you can. Let His truth quiet your self-doubt. His voice is always kinder than your inner critic and offers the peace you need to approach your next interaction with calm and confidence.
