Turn The Lens Inward
Turn the Lens Inward is for parents of teens and adult children who feel overwhelmed, disrespected, or afraid of losing the relationship. In this podcast, I guide you to understand your triggers, release fear-based and codependent patterns, and learn how to respond instead of react. This work is about emotional responsibility, healthy boundaries, and self-leadership so you can feel calmer, steadier, and create space for real reconnection. It may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility.
