This week’s episode is something special—a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation with parenting coach and podcast host Amy Fraughton, created especially with single moms in mind.
If you’re parenting on your own—and feeling worn out, worried, or unsure how to really help your older child—this episode will speak right to your heart. Amy shares the powerful truth she discovered after years of parenting from anxiety and control: the key to real influence isn’t what you say… it’s the energy you bring into the relationship.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why your “helping” might be backfiring—and what to do instead
- The difference between control and true connection
- How to stay calm and confident when your child is struggling
- Why showing up differently can shift everything—even if they don’t change
Whether you’re raising teens, co-parenting post-divorce, or trying to reconnect with an adult child, Amy’s wisdom will help you create more peace and connection at home.
