We can talk about acceptance at many different levels, acceptance of situations, acceptance of other people and how they are, self-acceptance.  When I myself or anyone else talks about acceptance as in just accept it, I think sometimes we can gloss over the frustration of acceptance and just skip to the part where we expect to be or where we expect others to be.

Today I want to talk about that messy middle part which is the frustration of acceptance.

Here’s what I will cover here

✅The best definition of acceptance

✅Why it makes sense and why it necessary to be in the frustrating messy middle

✅How acceptance alleviates suffering

Do you want to know how to help your teen not to feel sad? Of course you do right? That's your job as a parent.  What if it was better for your teen to help them learn how to feel sad or feel any of the so-called negative emotions.

In this episode I make a case for this as part of learning healthy emotional management and regulation.  

Remember, nothing has gone wrong when we are feeling a negative emotion.  This also helps save energy trying to fix things or emotions in ourselves and in our teenagers that don't need to be fixed.

I'm going back to basics.  I think it's worth making a case for the all that we can do to improve our relationships with our teenagers by working on what is going on within us.  There is tremendous power in learning how to remain CALM within ourselves.

We don't need to have all the answers and know everything to help lead ourselves and our teenagers through these often challenging times.  

By remembering to Connect, Accept, Love and Manage our emotions (as a good manager) we can equip ourselves with what we need to return to actual calm more easily.

The "perfect" holiday does not exist!  Does this statement relieve you or give you stress? We know this intellectually but actually letting ourselves enjoy the holiday season without the idea of perfection can be a different story.  Teenagers have a magical way of shattering our perfect holiday dreams like no other.

This episode will help reframe the holiday season and embrace the chaos and reality of this often stressful time in our lives.  Listen for tips on thinking about them differently and maybe even creating more joy for yourself during this special time of year.

Seeing our children at any age as "ours" seems reasonable right?  It makes sense why we see it this way but it is also very problematic from a standpoint of providing our teenagers with the autonomy they need to grow and become independent.

This weeks episode explores this further and the reason why we do this and why it is not helpful for either our teenagers or ourselves.

I know what you're thinking because I've thought it too. If I just accept things that means I like them, condone them or am not going to do anything about it?

This is not true and in fact the reality is when something has happened that we don't like, we spend so much wasted time and energy resisting it.  This does not help.   How do I know?  So much time spent arguing against reality.

In this episode I discuss how acceptance is not passive, how it helps us suffer less, save time and get to better actions sooner.  I also discuss the difference between passive acceptance and active acceptance.

Have you watched the shows about these programs that claim to help teenagers reform?  There is good and bad in every industry but what does this say about relationships?  

It's no wonder parents put their faith in this but there is something missing if a program you are looking at doesn't include both people in the relationship.  

I can help you improve your relationship with your teenager by looking at just you.  You are the person you have the most influence with FOR SURE.

I have been seeing a lot of posts on the socials lately from parents struggling as their teens leave to go away to college for the first time.  

What is the advice for how to deal with this? Do I get a dog?  Do I find a new hobby?  

Before you do any of that listen to this episode.  You can do these things but you need to let your absolutely normal feelings about this be there and feel what you are feeling.  In this episode I offer some of my own personal ways that I dealt with this.

Do you find yourself frustrated with your teenager because you have all the best advice but they just don't listen?  

There is a principle rooted in health education called the "righting reflex" and we do it all the time as parents.

Guess what? It doesn't work very well.

Listen to find out what can work better and how it has you doing less as a parent.  I love a principle that can help me do less :)

What if CALM is not somewhere we are trying to get to or strive for? I've been striving to be calm for awhile now and what I've come to realize is that our calm state is covered up by a lot of false thoughts that are disguising themselves as the truth. What if we can be like water and rest into calm. Allow ourselves to settle. The more we do this the easier it gets to come into that state of being.

Think of a lake or an ocean. When is it actually calm like glass with no movement? Very seldom, so don't judge yourself either if you are not calm. It takes some practise and some removal of old patterns to rest into a calmer state. The times when we are agitated are perfect teachers to help us learn and really unlearn our old worried and fearful ways of thinking.

This episode is all about that...... CALM waters ahead.

Have you watched the movie Inside Out? I just watched it and I know it's not new but I want to talk about it! It should be required watching for all humans.

Listen to find out why our job as parents is not to make our kids happy all the time or to keep them happy. As if that's even possible. This is the way our teenagers love to learn, by watching a movie. This is the perfect movie to learn about our emotions and the importance of them in all our lives.

What if you don't know how to handle a situation with your teenager? Does that mean you are not a good parent?

Not even close

This episode is all about releasing the pressure of needing to have all the answers and why our brain likes to tell us that we should.

When we are open to the fact that we can't be everything to our children and also we can't know everything, there is an instant pressure release.

Have you ever felt uneasy — or even jealous — about the friends or partners your teen is suddenly spending more time with?

It’s not just about “bad influence” — it’s about the shift in your role as a parent during a time when peers start having more sway. If you’ve ever felt powerless, disrespected, or pushed aside, this episode will help you navigate that tough emotional terrain without damaging your relationship with your teen.

• Learn why your protective instinct kicks in when your teen chooses friends you don’t like — and how to handle it with compassion.
• Discover why banning friends can backfire and what actually strengthens your influence.
• Hear role-play examples of real parent-teen conversations — and how a simple mindset shift opens up connection instead of conflict.

Press play to learn how to stop reacting from fear and start responding with calm confidence — so you stay connected even when you don’t approve of their friends.

I've been really ANGRY lately! I admit it and it took me by surprise. I haven't felt this way in quite some time and being faced with it was a good reminder about how important it is to make space for ALL of the feelings "good" and "bad".

In this episode I will highlight why this is so important and how actually letting it be there can allow you to move through the emotion faster.
