Summary

How do we help our kids navigate the most difficult parts of life? What role does connection play in making sure that we are who our kids come to when they are facing hard things?Amy Betters-Midtvedt knows how hard it can be to help kids through the tough stuff. As a parent of five and an educator, Amy has worked with kids and adolescents for over twenty-five years and has seen the pain, the struggles, and the triumphs that kids and teens go through as they grow up. Navigating her own children's difficulties like mental health issues and an eating disorder taught her what kids need most from us as adults: connection and relationship. In her book, You’ll Make It (and they will too): Everything No One Talks About When You’re Parenting Teens, she shares the good, the bad, and the ugly about raising teens, especially with the challenges that can come in the digital age. In this conversation, Aubrey and Amy talk about how to give teens what they need, the ways we can help kids navigate this digital world, and why it is important to learn the art of letting go. If you are raising a teenager or love one, this episode will give you permission to take a deep breath and focus on what matters the most when it comes to helping kids grow and flourish.

0:00.0	Hey guys, Davey here. Before we jump into this conversation, I wanted to make you aware. Maybe you've been hearing us talk about this past few weeks about our new coaching program and some of the offerings that we have with it. And we've specifically designed these offerings to be more accessible to you. So in the past, if you haven't been able to afford our coaching or you haven't been able to take the time to do it,
0:23.2	investment.
0:24.4	We have tried to do our very best to eliminate those barriers because we believe everybody needs to be matched with a coach.
0:31.3	See, our coaching opportunities were birthed out of my own experience with someone I've come to call a guide.
0:36.5	I've actually had a few guides on my
0:38.5	journey. And these were people who were further along in their healing journey, who had both the
0:42.4	capacity and the tools to help me navigate my own healing journey. Maybe for you, the holidays have
0:48.3	stirred up some unprocessed trauma, some unresolved grief. And I want to encourage you to approach this new year with a
0:56.0	different kind of resolve, not the self-help version, but the real help version, the kind that we all
1:03.5	need to get unstuck by partnering with one of our biblically centered, spirit-empowered,
1:09.8	and trauma-trained coaches. There is no better time
1:12.9	to take this next step because we've added a whole new coaching track alongside our flagship
1:17.8	pain to purpose program. And that new coaching track is called trauma recovery coaching.
1:22.5	Now you have two options based on your season of life regarding where you want to focus your healing.
1:29.4	If today you find yourself circling your grief, I'm sure how to move forward, our pain
1:32.7	to purpose coaches are prepared to help you journey through that distinctive curriculum.
1:37.6	I never would have chosen the road I found myself on through Amanda's death, but what I did choose
1:42.6	was to discover the hidden path of purpose within it.
1:46.4	We'd love nothing more than to help you discover your own.
1:49.7	If right now you're realizing it's time to face the ramifications of past or present trauma,
1:53.4	circumstances overwhelming your soul and holding you back, our newest trauma recovery program may
1:58.0	be right for you.
