Summary

In this episode of OG Therapy, we explore how to influence teenagers positively without relying on strict rules or constant conflict. Through a real-life story, we share how setting boundaries with respect and understanding creates a mutually beneficial relationship between parents and teens.

What is real power? It’s the ability to influence others in a way that lasts—and we break down how parents can use that power to guide their kids while still being “the cool parents.” From setting boundaries on things like vaping to making your home a safe and welcoming place, this episode is packed with insights on connection, trust, and influence.

Whether you’re a parent, mentor, or just someone who cares about the next generation, this conversation will give you tools to lead with respect instead of control.
