| ~188~"ADHD Medication: What Parents of Neurodivergent Teens Need to Know" with Lisa Richer Part 2 | 21 oct. 2026 | 00:40:41 | |
Video is not supported by this plan. Upgrade to add video files. #ParentingTeens #NeurodivergentTeens #ADHDParenting #ADHDMedication #NeurodivergentParenting If you’re parenting a neurodivergent teenager and struggling with questions about ADHD medication, diagnosis, anxiety, school supports, or what your teen actually needs, this conversation is for you. In Part 2 of my conversation with Lisa Richer, we take a deeper look at one of the most emotionally charged decisions parents of neurodivergent kids can face: medication. But this episode isn’t about telling you whether medication is right or wrong. It’s about helping you make decisions from a place of information, curiosity and connection rather than fear, shame or pressure. Lisa and I talk openly about our own experiences with ADHD, parenting neurodivergent children, diagnosis, medication and the importance of looking at the whole child—not just the most obvious behaviour or diagnosis. One of the biggest takeaways? There is no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting a neurodivergent teen. What works beautifully for one child may not be appropriate for another. And sometimes what looks like ADHD, anxiety, defiance, lack of motivation or poor behaviour may actually be connected to an underlying learning difference, communication challenge, sensory need or another unmet need. In this episode, we explore:
You don't have to choose between “medication” and “no medication.” The bigger question is: What does my teen need, and what combination of supports will help them understand themselves, function more effectively and become a stronger self-advocate? As Lisa says, we don't know what we don't know. Sometimes the missing piece is another assessment. Sometimes it's a school support. Sometimes it's a different intervention. Sometimes it's medication. And sometimes it's bringing the right people together to finally see the complete picture. For parents of neurodivergent teensIf you're thinking: “Something isn't working, but I don't know what we're missing.” You're not alone. You don't have to figure it out by yourself. The goal isn't to find the perfect parenting strategy or make the perfect decision every time. The goal is to stay curious, keep learning, ask better questions and make informed decisions based on your teenager's unique needs. ABOUT LISA RICHERLisa Richer is a Neurodivergent Success Partner and Advocate who helps transform “stuck” into success for students, athletes, parents, professionals and families. Through her Clarity, Confidence, Courage Journey Map, Lisa helps clients navigate internal, relational and systemic roadblocks while connecting them with the tools, resources and people they need to move forward.

| ~198~"AI, Phones, Failure & Accountability: Are We Preparing Teens for Adulthood?" with Michael Scheller | 07 oct. 2026 | 01:08:05 | |
Are We Raising Capable Teens—or Making Life Too Easy for Them? What if one of the biggest things standing between our teenagers and independence… is us? In this no-filter conversation, Cheryl sits down with Michael Scheller, founder of Astute Academics and an educational consultant with more than 15 years of experience working with students and families. And fair warning: this conversation goes everywhere. From phones and social media to AI, academic pressure, gentle parenting, failure, accountability, resilience and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes our teenagers need us to step back rather than step in. Michael and Cheryl don't agree on everything—and that's exactly what makes this conversation so good. Because parenting teenagers isn't about finding the one "right" answer. It's about being willing to question what we're doing, examine our own values, and ask: Are we actually preparing our kids for adulthood—or are we making their lives so manageable that they never get the chance to manage them themselves? In this episode, we talk about:
You can have your teen's back without carrying them. You can acknowledge that something is hard without removing the hard thing. You can say: "That sucks. I know you're disappointed. And I'm still not fixing it for you." Because sometimes the most powerful message we can give our teenagers is: "I know you can handle this. And I'm not going to take that opportunity away from you." About Michael SchellerMichael Scheller is the founder of Astute Academics and an educational consultant who has spent more than 15 years working with students and families. His work focuses on academics, educational strategy, student development and helping families navigate the increasingly complicated world of education.

| ~197~"When Your Child Is Diagnosed With ADHD or Autism: The Grief, Identity Shift & Parenting Reset" with Nadia Patel | 30 sept. 2026 | 00:43:48 | |
Parenting Teens Advice Redefined for Today’s World with Cheryl Pankhurst What happens when your child receives an ADHD or autism diagnosis—and suddenly the future you imagined for your family feels uncertain? In this deeply honest conversation, Cheryl Pankhurst talks with Nadia Patel, high-performance identity coach, speaker, and mother of two neurodivergent children, about the emotional side of parenting that doesn't get talked about enough. Because a diagnosis doesn't just change what you understand about your child. Sometimes, it changes how you see yourself. Nadia shares her personal journey through parenting ADHD and autism, including the shock of diagnosis, parental grief, burnout, fear about the future, financial and family pressures, and the realization that she needed to work on her own emotional regulation before she could fully support her children. And this conversation gets real. We talk about the thoughts parents may be afraid to admit: What does this mean for my child's future? What does this mean for my career? What will this do to our marriage? Will our family ever feel normal again? Those thoughts don't make you a bad parent. They make you human. But what we do with those thoughts matters. Nadia explains how shifting her own identity changed the way she experienced her son's autism and ADHD—and how she moved from seeing the challenges as something that was bigger than her to becoming someone who could hold both her family and the life she still wanted to create. Cheryl and Nadia also discuss why parents need to be careful about spending too much time in online parenting groups, consuming worst-case scenarios about autism and ADHD, and worrying about problems that may never happen. For parents of neurodivergent children and teens, this episode is a reminder that your child's diagnosis is not the end of their story—and it doesn't have to be the end of yours either. In this episode, we talk about:
If you've ever thought, “I don't know how we're going to do this,” you're not alone. And if you've had thoughts or feelings that you don't feel comfortable admitting out loud, that doesn't automatically make you a bad parent. You may simply need somewhere safe to process what you're carrying. As Nadia says, getting support for yourself can be one of the most important things you do for your child. And Cheryl's reminder throughout this podcast is simple: It's not them. It's you—and that's where the magic happens. Not because your teen or child is the problem. Because sometimes changing the way we understand ourselves, our children and the situation we're facing changes everything. About Nadia PatelNadia Patel is a high-performance identity coach, speaker and mother of two neurodivergent children. Her work focuses on identity, self-belief, confidence and the internal shifts that can help people create meaningful change in their careers, relationships, businesses and lives.

| ~196~ Why Your Teen Can Game for Hours but Can’t Do Homework: Executive Functioning, Time Blindness & Motivation Anna Levy Warren | 23 sept. 2026 | 00:40:06 | |
#ParentingTeens #TeenParenting #ExecutiveFunctioning #ADHDParenting #NeurodivergentTeens #TeenMentalHealth #TimeBlindness #ParentingADHD #TeenDevelopment #ExecutiveFunctioningSkills #ParentingSupport #NeurodivergentParenting #ParentingPodcast #Teenagers #EducationalAdvocacy Have you ever wondered how your teenager can spend hours gaming, scrolling TikTok, or hanging out with friends—but somehow can't get ready for school, start their homework, remember what they need, or get out the door on time? And then you find yourself thinking: “They can do it when they want to. So why won't they do it?” What if the problem isn't motivation, laziness, defiance, or not caring? In this episode of Parenting Teens: Advice Redefined for Today's World, I sit down with Dr. Anna Levy-Warren, licensed clinical psychologist, speaker, founder of Organizational Tutors, and an expert in executive functioning, to unpack what's really happening underneath these everyday struggles. With more than 20 years of experience working in psychology and education—and as a parent herself—Anna brings both professional expertise and lived experience to this conversation. What you'll learn about executive functioningExecutive functioning isn't one single skill. It's an interconnected set of cognitive processes that help us manage things like:
And when these skills are developing differently, the impact can show up everywhere—not just at school. Why can your teen remember every song but forget three instructions?We talk about the difference between long-term memory and working memory, and why a teenager can remember an incredible amount of information but still forget what you just asked them to do. “Go get ready for school” might sound like one simple instruction to a parent. For a teen with working-memory challenges, it can actually contain a whole series of steps that are difficult to hold onto and execute. Is your teen experiencing time blindness?If you're sitting in the car with the engine running while your teenager is still inside getting ready, this part of the conversation is for you. Anna explains time blindness and why some teens don't experience time in the same way their parents do. We talk about:
One of the biggest themes in this conversation is the difference between “won't” and “can't yet.” A teen may genuinely want to do something and still struggle to initiate it, organize it, estimate the time required, or shift away from something they are deeply engaged in. And yes, your teen may be able to play video games for three hours. That doesn't necessarily mean they are capable of transferring that same level of attention and executive functioning to a math assignment. Motivation isn't the whole storyWe also challenge the idea that a teenager is simply “motivated” when they want to do something and “unmotivated” when they don't. Adults work this way too. There are things we can do for hours because we enjoy them—and things we procrastinate on despite knowing they need to be done. So what happens when we stop treating our teenagers like they're deliberately making our lives difficult and start looking at what support the task actually requires? Your teen's chronological age isn't necessarily their developmental ageA 16-year-old is chronologically 16. But their executive functioning skills don't necessarily develop in a perfectly linear way. Your teen might be incredibly mature in one area and need significantly more scaffolding in another. We talk about why parents need to look at the developmental skill required by the task, rather than simply assuming that a teenager should be able to do something because of their age. Executive functioning affects more than schoolWe also explore how executive functioning can affect:
This conversation is packed with practical strategies, including: Collaborate instead of command. Instead of putting the problem between you and your teen, put the problem in front of both of you and work on it together. Use visual cues. Post-it notes, calendars, written instructions, alarms and other visual systems can reduce the endless parent-teen verbal ping-pong. Talk less when everyone is activated. When your teenager's nervous system is overwhelmed, more talking usually isn't the answer. Work backwards. Start with the time your teen needs to be somewhere and work backwards to determine when they need to begin getting ready. Build the system with your teen. The goal isn't for you to become your teenager's external executive functioning system forever. It's to gradually help them develop systems they can eventually use independently. The family calendarAnna has a particular obsession with the family calendar—and after this conversation, I can see why. A shared visual calendar can help teenagers anticipate what's coming, understand competing demands, see how much time they actually have, and participate in planning their own lives. Instead of: “You have a test Monday!” Try: “Let's look at the week together. You have a test, you want to see your friends, and we have Grandma's birthday. How can we make all of this work?” That's the shift. From control → collaboration. From consequences → curiosity. From telling → problem-solving together.

| ~195~# Your Teen’s Phone Is Changing More Than You Think: Social Media, Identity & Parenting Teens with Dr. Michelle Machado | 16 sept. 2026 | 00:55:50 | |

She empowers high-achievers to reclaim attention, presence and fulfilment beginning with reconnection to self. Her practical approach has made her a sought-after advisor to leaders worldwide who are ready to transform how they live, work, and lead in a rapidly changing world. In her upcoming book, Alive Again: 4 Steps to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World, Dr. Machado makes the case that high-performance leadership and lasting impact are impossible without first mastering internal alignment, because the way we lead ourselves ultimately defines how we lead others. LinkedIn and IG (drmichellemachado). Website: https://michelledmachado.com What if the biggest influence on your teenager isn’t what you’re saying to them—but what they’re watching you do? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Michelle Machado and I get into the messy, complicated reality of parenting teenagers in a world that neither of us grew up in. We talk about social media, screen time, comparison, authenticity, resilience, human connection, nervous-system regulation, and the pressure parents feel to keep their kids constantly busy and entertained. And yes, we talk about phones. Because today’s parents are navigating something completely different from the world we grew up in. Our kids can carry school drama, friendship problems, comparison, cyberbullying and social pressure straight into their bedrooms—and onto the dinner table—24/7. But this conversation isn't about blaming parents. It's about getting curious. Dr. Michelle shares why she believes human connection has three critical layers: connection to self, connection to others, and connection to the world and a greater sense of purpose. We also talk about what authenticity actually looks like for our kids—and how easily we can confuse our idea of who they should be with their emerging identity. In this episode, we talk about:
One of my favourite moments is Michelle's reminder that we don't have to force our children to change. We can invite them to consider another perspective. That distinction matters. Our teenagers are becoming their own people. Our job isn't to control every choice they make. It's to give them the values, critical thinking, self-awareness and relationship with us that they can carry with them when we're no longer standing beside them. And sometimes, that means knowing which hill is actually worth dying on. A conversation every parent of a teenager needs to hear.If you've ever found yourself wondering: “Did I already screw this up?” “How do I get my kid off their phone?” “Why are they comparing themselves to everyone?” “Am I parenting from my values—or from fear?” “What am I actually modeling for my teenager?” —you are not alone. And you're not failing because you're still trying to figure it out. About Dr. Michelle MachadoDr. Michelle Machado is an international speaker, TEDx presenter, medical educator and founder of the Human Connection Framework. With more than two decades of experience in education and leadership across multiple countries, her work focuses on the connection between mindset, identity, human potential and meaningful human connection. Her book, Alive Again: Four Steps to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World, explores what happens when our external lives look successful while internally we feel disconnected—and how we begin to reconnect with ourselves.

| ~194~"Girl Drama and Mean Girls: How to Help Your Teen Navigate Friendship Problems" with Sheri Gazitt | 09 sept. 2026 | 00:31:31 | |
#ParentingTeens #TeenFriendship #GirlDrama #ParentingTeenagers #TeenMentalHealthGirl Drama, Mean Girls & Teen Friendship: What Parents Get Wrong (And What Actually Helps)Your daughter comes home crying because she was left out. She wasn't invited. The group chat is exploding. Someone said something hurtful. And every instinct in you wants to fix it. Call the other parent. Contact the school. Tell her those girls are awful. Tell her to find new friends. But what if some of the ways parents try to help are actually making teen friendship problems worse? In this episode of Parenting Teens Advice Redefined for Today's Complex World, Cheryl Pankhurst sits down with internationally recognized friendship expert Sheri Gazitt, founder of Teen Wise and author of Girl Drama Decoded.

This is not about blaming parents. It's about giving parents better tools. In this episode, we discuss:

But avoiding the conversation doesn't protect our kids. Knowledge, connection, boundaries, and open communication can. In this important episode of Parenting Teens: Advice Redefined for Today's Complex World, Cheryl Pankhurst sits down with Jenny Coleman, Director of Stop It Now!, to talk honestly about preventing child sexual abuse without parenting from a place of fear. This conversation goes beyond "stranger danger" and explores what parents, caregivers, educators, and communities can do proactively to create safer environments for children and teenagers. Together, Cheryl and Jenny discuss:
One of the most powerful messages in this episode is that prevention is not about frightening our kids or making them afraid of the world. It's about helping them develop language, confidence, boundaries, self-awareness, and trusted relationships. Because the goal isn't to make our teenagers scared to tell us something. The goal is to make sure they know they can. Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeStop It Now!

| ~150~"Creating a Safe Home for LGBTQ+ Teens: Shame, Language, and Healing" with Stef Vachon | 25 févr. 2026 | 00:58:56 | |
What do you say when your teen comes out as LGBTQ+? In this powerful conversation, Cheryl Pankhurst—special education specialist, teen advocate, and creator of Parenting Teens Advice Redefined Podcast—sits down with Stef Vachon, host of Together Moving Forward, to talk about what LGBTQ+ teens really need from parents. We talk about the words that create safety, how shame shows up in teenagers, signs your teen may be struggling with identity, and how parents can respond with calm, clarity, and connection—even if you don’t get it perfect. Stef shares his story of growing up in an unsafe environment, surviving bullying and homophobia, and learning how healing, therapy, and community helped him reclaim his life. Together we unpack what parents and educators can do right now to create a home where teens feel safe, seen, and valued. Because your teen isn’t asking for perfect language. They’re asking to feel chosen. This episode is for parents who are searching things like: • “How do I support my LGBTQ teen?” • “What do I say when my child comes out?” • “Signs my teen is questioning their identity” • “How to create a safe home for LGBTQ kids” • “How to help my teen with shame or anxiety” If you’re worried about saying the wrong thing… this conversation will guide you toward connection instead of fear. And remember what we always say here: It’s not about fixing your teen. It’s about doing the inner work so you can be the safe place they come home to.
