“I Feel Like I'm Failing as a Mom”—Thoughts Moms Parenting Teens and Adult Kids Are Ashamed They Think | Ep. 270
About this episode
In this episode, Jennifer Collins discusses the feelings of inadequacy that mothers may experience while parenting teens and adult children, offering insights on mindset and self-care.
Do you ever wonder what the difficult moments with your teen or adult kid says about the kind of mom you are? When your big kid pulls away, shuts you out, or struggles, it's so easy to believe you're somehow getting motherhood wrong. In this episode, I unpack why these thoughts feel so convincing, and why they aren't the truth. I'll help you understand the difference between feeling helpless and feeling hopeless, how your mindset can fuel anxiety and stop overthinking, and what it really means to practice letting go without caring any less. If you're navigating the empty nest years or parenting teens, this conversation will help you release unnecessary guilt, show up with more confidence, and discover a steadier way to love your child while also taking care of yourself. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
