What does it really mean to hold boundaries with compassion, and why do so many parent-teen power struggles miss the mark?
Parenting a teen comes with hard decisions, especially around discipline. Do we let kids face the natural consequences of their actions, or do we step in with structure to guide them? In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl is joined by Carl Baisden to explore how parents can strike the right balance between guidance and autonomy.
Together, they unpack how to create a supportive family framework, when natural consequences can be most effective, and when more intentional interventions are needed. They also explore how understanding your teen’s temperament can shift your approach for lasting change.
In this conversation, you'll learn how to:
* Turn conflict into connection
* Create structure that supports, not stifles, autonomy
* Build emotional intelligence and resilience in your teen
* Step back without losing influence
* Redefine failure as part of growth
Whether you're dealing with screen time battles, school stress, or emotional ups and downs, this episode offers practical strategies for building trust, accountability, and emotional growth at home.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
