School Gets the Best of Them, We Get the Rest of Them with Dr. Lisa Damour

In this episode, I sit down with one of my favorite guests, Dr. Lisa Damour—psychologist, teen whisperer, and New York Times bestselling author—to talk about what’s really going on when your tween or teen turns you into their emotional dumping ground. We break down what’s typical versus when to worry, how to respond without absorbing it all, and simple scripts that actually help. We also explore Dr. Lisa’s signature ideas like “school gets the best of them, we get the rest of them,” how to spot rumination, and ways to listen without fixing—so you can stay steady while your teen works through the ups and downs of growing up.
