Summer is here, and if you're dreading the potential for power struggles, mood swings, and disconnection with your teenager, this episode is essential.
Heather shares her tried-and-true framework for creating genuine connection with your teens—not just during summer break, but all year long.
Listen in as Heather breaks down how to:
🩶Trade control for curiosity by learning how to ask the right questions
🩶Create micro-moments of presence (learn how 5 - 10 minutes can change the energy of an entire day!)
🩶Let your teen lead and take ownership (even when things don't go perfectly)
If you're tired of walking on eggshells around your teen or feeling like you're losing them as they grow up, learn the 3 connection anchors Heather is sharing that will help you show up in ways that actually work—without sacrificing your sanity or their independence.

| 0:00.0 | We are diving into today's episode of Emotionally Uncomfortable and summer is coming. |
| 0:06.8 | And during summer, there's always like a huge, it's a completely different season. |
| 0:13.1 | Um, I notice a huge shift in the questions that I'm getting from clients when it comes to |
| 0:19.2 | seeing and understanding their children's behavior. When it comes to seeing and understanding their children's behavior, |
| 0:21.6 | when it comes to cultivating and creating connection. And also like creating space for themselves. |
| 0:28.6 | So there's, you know, summer energy and the sun is shining, depending on where you are in the |
| 0:33.4 | world. For some of you, it's not summer. You're headed into a winter season, depending on, you know, where you are in the world. For some of you, it's not summer. You're headed into a winter season, |

| 1:29.4 | with them but you still feel connected to them like energetically spiritually emotionally you still |
