Let's Talk About - Micromanaging Your Teen

Is your teen pulling away—or are you holding on too tight? In this episode, we dive deep into the urge to micromanage our teens: where it comes from, how it impacts their confidence, and what you can do to shift into a more trusting, connected parenting space.

You’ll learn:

• The sneaky ways micromanagement shows up (even when you think you’re being “helpful”)
• When to loosen your grip—and why it matters
• A practical step-by-step process to shift from control to curiosity
• What to say (and not say) when you're tempted to take over
• How to reset if you've already gone too far down the micromanagement rabbit hole

If you’ve ever hovered over homework, double-checked every text, or felt panic when your teen doesn’t follow your plan—this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in now and start building a home where trust and independence thrive.
