If criticism from your teen—or even from someone you deeply love—shakes your confidence, this episode is for you. You don’t need thicker skin or a perfect track record to have peace in conflict. Instead, I’m sharing a life-changing truth from God’s Word that will anchor your heart no matter what’s said… and when you live from this truth, connection with the people you love becomes effortless.

What if the secret to effortless connection with your teen had nothing to do with what you said to them… and everything to do with what you believed about yourself? In this episode, you’ll discover the truth that will free you from self-criticism and make peace possible—even in conflict.
