Mindset Traps of Parenting Teens and the Empty Nest—Trap #8: The Should Trap. Why You Never Feel Like You're Doing Enough | Ep. 241
About this episode
The episode discusses the 'Should Trap' in parenting teens, exploring feelings of inadequacy and how to overcome them.
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do as a mom… it’s just not enough? Like you should be more patient… more present… handling everything better, but you’re never quite getting it right? Today, I’m continuing the Mindset Traps of Parenting Teens and the Empty Nest series with a focus on what I call the Should Trap . It's when your mind is constantly telling you what you "should" be doing that's different, but the result is that you stay stuck in guilt, pressure, and self-doubt, especially in this stage of raising teens and navigating the empty nest. You’ll start to see where these “shoulds” come from, why they feel so true… and most importantly, how to step out of them so you can feel more confident, more at peace, and actually trust yourself again. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
