| 5/26/26 |  196. Understanding ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation in Teens & Young Adults With Debbie Murad | Simple tasks that seem easy to you become overwhelming battles for your teen or young adult with ADHD. One small request turns into a massive blow-up. And when we don’t understand the ADHD brain, it can feel like they’re being disrespectful, lazy or even manipulative. In today’s episode, I’m joined by therapist and ADHD expert Debbie Murad to unpack what’s really happening underneath ADHD and emotional dysregulation in teens and young adults. Debbie explains why so many ADHD behaviors a... | 43m 27s | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | 195. Summer Scaffolding: Supporting Your Teen’s Transition Home From Treatment During Summer Break With Hilary Moses | Summer can feel terrifying when you’re parenting a struggling teen or young adult. The routines disappear. Structure falls away. And suddenly you’re left wondering how to support your child without slipping into control, conflict, or constant anxiety. And if your teen is coming home from treatment? The pressure can feel even heavier. Today, I sit down with Hilary Moses to talk about what parents often misunderstand about summer break, especially when supporting a struggling teen during summer... | 47m 24s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | 194. What It Feels Like to Come Home From Treatment (And Why Your Teen Is Struggling) With Casie Fariello | You bring your child home from treatment and expect things to get better. But instead, everything feels off. They’re overwhelmed. Irritated. Withdrawn. Maybe even struggling more than you expected. You don’t understand. Why is this so hard? Did we do something wrong? This special episode will help you understand something most parents never fully see… until now. Because what your teen experiences coming home from treatment isn’t just a transition. It can feel disorienting, overstimulating, an... | 38m 22s | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | 193. Is This ODD or Normal Teen Behavior? With Brittney King | Is your child pushing back, arguing over everything, ignoring rules, or seeming impossible to parent right now? It’s easy to wonder: Is this normal teen behavior… or something more serious like ODD? When conflict becomes the norm at home, many parents start fearing they’re losing their child. You might even feel like you’re failing as a parent. But not all defiance is ODD. Sometimes, what looks like defiance is actually normal development, emotional dysregulation, stress, or a family dynamic ... | 39m 51s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | 192. When Your Teen Is Self-Harming: What Parents Need to Know With Courtney Deadman | When you find out your child is harming themselves, you’re thrown into a world you don’t understand. Fear hits first. Then confusion. Maybe even anger. Is this a cry for help? Is it manipulation? Is my child suicidal? And most of all… what am I supposed to do? If your teen is self-harming, you’re not alone in these questions. And you’re not failing as a parent. In this conversation, I sit down with therapist Courtney Deadman to unpack what teen self-harm actually is, and what it isn’t. Becaus... | 52m 42s | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | 191. The Boy Brain Explained: Why Your Teen Manipulates, Complains, and Plays the Victim | Your teen’s behavior might feel confusing, frustrating, or even manipulative… but when you understand the boy brain, it starts to make a lot more sense. In this episode, I sit down with Mark Spalding (LCSW) to unpack what’s really going on beneath behaviors like complaining, blaming, or playing the victim, and why so many parents feel emotionally pulled in when it happens. We start with a situation many parents know all too well: your teen calls home (especially from treatment), and everythin... | 36m 08s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | 190. Dealing With the Negativity of Your Weekly Treatment Call | You wait all week for that call… and then it comes. But your child sounds miserable. They’re complaining about everything. The food, the people, the program. They tell you it’s not working. That they shouldn’t be there. Maybe they even promise they’ll do better if you just bring them home. And suddenly, you’re right back in it: confused, overwhelmed, and questioning everything. Did I make the wrong decision? Is this actually helping them? Should I be doing something different? In this episode... | 26m 46s | ||||||
| 4/7/26 | 189. What Is in Your Control as a Parent? - The Circles of Control, Influence & Concern | You’re lying awake at night, running through every possible scenario. Should I step in? Should I say something? Should I let this go? When your teen is struggling, it can feel nearly impossible to know what’s actually yours to handle and what isn’t. And without clarity, it’s so easy to slip into overthinking, overfunctioning, and trying to control things that were never yours to begin with. In this episode, we’re introducing a simple but powerful framework: the Circles of Control, Influence, ... | 29m 30s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | 188. The Anatomy of Trust for Parents - A Breakdown of Brené Brown’s Work With Danny Frazer | Trust is one of the most fundamental parts of every relationship. If you don’t trust your teen, or you notice they don’t trust you, it will be hard to build the kind of parent-child relationship you want to have with your struggling teen or young adult. But sometimes it can feel like an impossible task to ‘just trust’ your teen again, especially if that trust has been broken before. So how does trust actually work and more importantly… how do you begin to rebuild it when it feels broken? In t... | 57m 09s | ||||||
| 3/24/26 | 187. The Mind F*ck of Tracking Your Adolescent’s Location on “Find My” | You check their location, just to make sure they’re okay. Then again. And again. And suddenly, your entire nervous system is tied to a blinking dot on a map. In this episode, Seth and I talk about something that so many parents are quietly struggling with right now: the urge to track, monitor, and stay one step ahead of your teen or adolescent… and how it slowly starts to take over. Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: It never ends well. And just because we can track our kids, doesn’t mea... | 34m 28s | ||||||

| 3/17/26 | 186. Raising Boys: Video Games, Anxiety, and Raising Independent Young Men With Jarrod Hoffman | Is your son glued to his screen and telling you, “you just don’t get it”? But as a parent nowadays, you are navigating a world that looks very different from the one you grew up in. Video games double as social spaces. Screens shape friendships and status. And many teen boys are quietly struggling with anxiety, uncertainty about the future, and pressure they don’t always know how to talk about. So how do you stay connected to your son when it feels like you’re speaking completely different la... | 40m 59s | ||||||
| 3/10/26 | 185. Learned Helplessness: When Helping Your Struggling Teen Is Actually Hurting Them | You step in because you love your child. You pay for treatment again because you’re scared. You cover the rent because you don’t want them on the street. You call to check in because something feels “off.” You offer solutions because you can’t stand watching them struggle. Of course you do. But here’s the hard question: What if, sometimes, the helping is reinforcing learned helplessness? What if the message, completely unintentionally, becomes: “You can’t handle this without me.” Learned help... | 24m 24s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 | 184. Should You Just Let Your Teen Fail? Parenting Without Helicoptering or Micromanaging | You’ve heard me say it over and over again: You have to let go of what is out of your control. But does that mean you just stop parenting? Are you just supposed to sit back and watch your teen or young adult fail and make mistakes? When you start stepping back from micromanaging, rescuing, and constantly stepping in, it often doesn’t feel like relief. It feels like you’re doing something wrong. You’re not the only one feeling like this. Today’s society reinforces helicopter parenting and lett... | 27m 28s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | 183. Wilderness Therapy for Struggling Teens: What Open Sky Founder Danny Frazer Wants Parents to Know | The thought of wilderness therapy for your struggling kid can feel simultaneously hopeful and terrifying. Is it too extreme? Is it necessary? How do you even know? And how do you trust the people who would be caring for your child? In this episode, I sit down with Danny Frazer, one of the founding partners of Open Sky Wilderness Therapy, to talk honestly about what makes wilderness therapy work, and what doesn’t. We explore why Open Sky stood out in the field, what parents should look for in ... | 50m 55s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | 182. Letting Go of Expectations for Your Teen (and Trusting Their Process) | Every day, you’re watching your teen or young adult make choices you wouldn’t make, and feeling the constant pull to intervene. You see the risks. You imagine the consequences. And somewhere along the way, hope for progress turns into pressure for outcomes. Today, Seth and I talk about what happens when parents become attached to how growth is supposed to look: sobriety first, independence next, emotional maturity on a timeline that makes sense to you. And how easily those expectations, even ... | 28m 07s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | 181. Understanding Self-Destructive Behaviors in Teens & Young Adults With Therapist Katie May | When your teen is engaging in self-destructive behaviors, what you usually see is the tip of the iceberg. You see the cutting, the substance use, the school refusal, the shutdowns or blowups, and it’s scary, confusing, and exhausting. But what’s happening underneath those behaviors is often invisible. Big emotions. Overwhelm. Shame. Anxiety. A nervous system that’s trying to survive. And when all you can see is the behavior, misunderstanding and frustration are almost inevitable. In thi... | 32m 50s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | 180. The False Hope of ‘Rock Bottom’ in Parenting a Struggling Teen or Young Adult | Have you ever found yourself thinking, “This has to be rock bottom… surely it can’t get worse than this,”? As painful as that thought is, it can also feel strangely comforting. Because if this is the worst of it… then maybe things will finally start to get better. When your teen or young adult is making painful, risky, or destructive choices, the idea of rock bottom can feel like a lifeline. A way to survive the moment. A way to believe that relief, change, or recovery must be just around the... | 21m 43s | ||||||

With Jessica Stewart | You’re doing everything you can, and yet you feel like you’re failing as a parent… Believe me, you’re not alone, and today, I’d even like to offer you a change of perspective: What if you’ve been giving the wrong job description as a parent? You might believe your role is to keep your kids happy, safe, and “on track.” And when it inevitably becomes clear that you don’t have any control over this during the teen years, the shame comes creeping in fast, right? You start questioning every decisi... | 39m 24s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | 178. When a Child Dies by Suicide: What Parents Miss When We Only Focus on Behavior | Recently, we lost a dear friend to suicide. One of my son’s best friends, who had become a part of our family. This is a tender and deeply personal conversation in which Seth and I talk about the loss of a young man who mattered deeply to our family, and what witnessing his death taught me about struggling teens, their ‘yellow’ or ‘red friends’, pain, and connection. This is not an easy conversation. There are tears. There is grief. And there is also something profoundly important here for pa... | 28m 10s | ||||||

Learning to Trust Yourself Again After Trauma and Conditioning, For Teens & Parents, with Jake Wood | What if the behaviors you see in your struggling teen aren’t just “problems,” but signs that the identity they were given no longer fits? What if their resistance, shut-down, or self-destructive choices are really the early stages of something Jake Wood knows all too well: the painful beginning of learning to trust yourself again after trauma, addiction, and conditioning?
