Damage-Free Discipline | Discipline Teenagers, Reparent Yourself, & Heal Relationships
If you’re a frustrated mom of teenagers and you’re ready to stop worrying that you’re going to drive your kids away, lose your mind, or end up being a pushover, it’s time to start building the skills that will help you do discipline differently—without crushing spirits, killing connection, or creating resentment. I’m Tunisha—life coach, educator for over two decades, author of The Real Pain of Stress: What to Do When Bubble Baths Won’t Fix It, and mom to a teenage boy just stepping into the empty nesting stage. This podcast is for moms who want to lead their kids with God’s wisdom. I share what I’ve learned to reconnect with my teenage son after realizing I had turned into my parents (with a little something extra). I’ve developed skills that got him to be more responsible AND break generational patterns of emotional trauma and I want to share how we healed our relationship and the principles that transformed our home.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
