How to Talk to Your Teens About Drugs, Alcohol, and S8x

Parenting tweens and teens is no easy feat, especially when navigating their rites of passage. Navigating teenage rites of passage can bring up questions like: How do I prepare my child to handle peer pressure around alcohol, drugs, or sex? How can I teach values without sounding authoritarian? In this episode, we address these and more by sharing personal stories, practical strategies, and actionable tips. We reflect on the importance of clearing our own emotional baggage to show up as the best version of ourselves for our kids, and discuss how to differentiate between helpful guidance and unintentional control.

As a parent, you will leave with tools to foster open communication and guide their teens toward a responsible and empowered adulthood. Whether you're dealing with the challenges of social media influences, the allure of risky behavior, or the need to address modern issues like vaping and early relationships, this episode is a must-listen for parents. It’s packed with relatable insights and empowering advice to help you parent with intention, compassion, and confidence.
