Parenting Teens

Regardless of where you are at in your parenting journey, this is an amazing episode for you to listen in on (maybe take some notes). It has been such a joy to get to know Connie Albers over the years. She has been a great friend and a great mentor. What is beautiful about her new book, Parenting Beyond the Rules, is that she can be your mentor too! My copy of her book is such a mess. There is so much that I've stared and underlined. This is a book that I travel with — I have taken it literally everywhere.

I know that you're going to love this episode with Connie! Get ready to be encouraged!
