Really grateful I came across episode 31! I need it right now and although I’m already doing most of what Heidi shared I can do much better and I plan to share this with my husband in hopes that it will help his connection with our son. Thank you, Heidi!
Heidi is a phenomenal speaker and woman. Learning from her is nothing short of amazing and hearing her guidance is so very helpful in showing up best for my family!
I found this podcast at just the right time! I have a 12 year old and have been feeling a lot lately like I am not doing this right. Feeling like I don’t know how to parent a tween, and losing my connection I have had until now. Your podcast shows me that I am not alone in feeling this way. I feel more confident now that I have the tools to continue being a great mom! Thank you so much!
Heidi is very knowledgeable and an effective commentator. It's about time we focus on raising teen boys!
Relatable, there are very valuable tips. Wish it were longer and some deeper dives into some specific situations.
