Understanding the difference between introversion, extroversion, anxiety, and innate confidence is crucial for any parent of a teen.

Introverted behavior can often be misconstrued as shyness or a lack of social skills, leading to negative labels and self-perception… and increased anxiety.

And even if you have an extroverted teen, this does not necessarily mean they will be a confident one…

With my guest Sarah Bryer, an Introversion Coach & Mentor, we unpack the specific challenges an introverted teen may face in this extroverted world.

Learn how to recognise introversion, how to best support your teen to navigate social situations and help every teen embrace their authentic self in this must-listen episode.

In today's episode:

• How to better understand your teen’s personality
• Why you should NEVER call your child ‘shy’
• The importance of self-awareness
• The power of knowing your values (and your teen’s)

Listen today to gain valuable insights and to help you unlock your teen’s true potential!

As the parent of an anxious teen, do you feel largely unsupported, alone, and like no one truly understands?

And do you find yourself putting your own stuff on hold because you are all consumed by what is going on for your teen?

Parenting an anxious teen can be an isolating & overwhelming experience and you do not have to face it alone.

But quite aside from the practical help we try to secure for our teen, how much do we seek out the support that WE need? And what is the price we pay if we don't?

Tune in today to find ways that you can build an emotional support-system to power you through the hard times.

And by bolstering your own well-being, also create stronger foundations for supporting your teen.

It can feel soul-destroying can’t it – when you extend offer after offer, invite after invite and your teen just doesn’t want to know.

They are happier on their own / with their mates / in their room / out of the house – happier anywhere it seems, other than with you!

And it is a really hard thing to experience but also such a normal part of the parent-teen journey. And one that they need to go through.

So with this episode, I will give you my top tips and recommended do’s & don’ts of how to navigate it as a parent  – and even how to achieve a stronger connection with your teen, regardless of the time factor!

So listen in now to learn how to fully support your teen whilst also giving them the space they need.

Do you feel like you are making things worse rather than better?

If so, it’s time to hit pause, take a breath, and join me in exploring the  transformative power of self-compassion in this Powertool episode.

Introducing my unique AMEN Method, I guide  you through the step-by-step process of how to be more self-compassionate to help you feel more resourceful as a parent and improve your relationship with your teen.

You will learn to:

• tap into your self-awareness
• understand your own situation with a fresh perspective that brings clarity and calm
• say goodbye to that inner critical voice and start speaking to yourself with kindness & support
• identify & fulfill your own needs whilst remaining attuned to the needs of your teen

By prioritising our own well-being through self-compassion, we can start to accept where we are, create a safe and nurturing environment for our teens and approach challenges with grace, resilience, and a deeper understanding.

Tune in today to unlock the power of self-compassion, witness its positive impact on your teen’s well-being, and discover how it can truly transform your parenting journey.
