If you're exhausted from the daily battles. The nagging, reminding, and repeating yourself isn't working it's actually creating MORE resistance. You want peaceful mornings and a son who takes responsibility, but you're stuck in a cycle of control that's damaging your relationship.

In this episode we are talking about the real reason your teenage son is acting out during back-to-school season (hint: it's not what you think), why your well-intentioned hovering is making everything worse, and the game-changing shift that will transform your relationship from chaotic to connected in just a few weeks.

Today you will:
  • Discover what's really happening beneath your son's "attitude" during school transitions
  • Learn the difference between leadership and micromanaging (and why it matters)
  • Get the exact script for transferring power without losing your mind
  • Understand why connection before correction changes everything
  • Walk away with actionable steps to reduce drama starting TODAY
