Why do parents react so emotionally when teens make mistakes? How do we balance authority with empathy without robbing kids of their self-worth?
In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl talks with Carl Baisden about what really happens in the heat of parenting challenges. From late-night gaming arguments to school stress and emotional shutdowns, they explore how these moments often reveal deeper emotional patterns and unmet needs.
Through stories from the field and grounded clinical insight, they dive into:
- Why failure is essential to growth for both teens and parents
- How to use structure in a way that avoids shame
- What identity clashes look like between parents and teens
- Why letting kids face natural consequences builds long-term resilience
- How to reconnect after conflict and encourage agency and trust
Whether you're supporting a teen in treatment or just trying to get through the week, this episode offers practical tools and fresh perspective on how connection can shift everything.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
