In this episode we sit down with Kirsten Cobabe, a former therapist turned family coach who brings over two decades of experience in guiding parents through the complexities of adolescence. Drawing from her unique perspective of working closely with families while choosing not to have children herself, Kirsten offers fresh insights into the delicate balance of protecting and empowering teenagers in today's digital age.
Our conversation explores everything from the impact of social media on teen relationships to the critical role of emotional intelligence in parenting. Kirsten challenges conventional wisdom about academic success, shares practical strategies for maintaining connection during the teenage years, and offers a compelling perspective on how parents can navigate their own anxieties while fostering their teen's independence. Whether you're currently parenting a teenager or preparing for those years ahead, this discussion provides actionable insights for creating stronger, more authentic family bonds.
