About this episode

Diane Sorensen discusses the transformation of motherhood into a lifelong relationship and the importance of boundaries in parenting teens.

I loved this convo! My guest, Diane Sorenson shares what shifts when you stop performing motherhood and start treating it as a lifelong relationship. We talk boundaries as an expression of your truth, why holding a firm line is connection rather than its opposite, and how to stay steady when your teen is furious with you. If you've ever folded to make the bad feeling go away, press play. Guest bio: Diane Sorensen has spent over 30 years working with kids and families. A former teacher turned boundary and empowerment coach, she hosts the Chaos to Connection Podcast. Her daughter's mental health crisis at 17 became the catalyst that moved Diane from the "lens of good and right" toward the "lens of connection," work she now shares with parents everywhere. find more show notes and info at https://www.besproutable.com/podcasts/eps-661-diane-sorensen-on-lifelong-motherhood/ Learn more about your ad choices.
