Podcast appearances and mentions of Shannon D South

Are you feeling unprepared for the intense emotions and challenges of raising teens? Do you wonder if other moms are going through the same struggles with friendships, independence, and emerging adulthood? In this special 300th episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady invites four close friends—moms who've been through it all—for an honest and heartfelt conversation. Together, they reflect on the middle school and high school years, navigating everything from shifting friendships and social media pressures to the bittersweet milestones of teenage independence. They share raw and relatable stories about the struggles, like dealing with broken hearts, driving privileges, and different parenting values. Beyond the challenges, they celebrate the moments of joy, laughter, and growth that come with watching their teens mature into young adults. Sue Ludwig is a mom of two grown kids, ages 27 and 25. She is the president and founder of the national association of neonatal therapists, an occupational therapist by background, and author of the book, Tiny Humans, Big Lessons.   Dr. Shannon D. South, aka the “Joy Doctor”, is an award winning therapist, an amazon best-selling author, and an inspirational speaker. She is an expert in the field of spirituality and healing trauma for over 25 years and the Founder of the Inner Counselor Certification Program.   Sara Dickison Taylor is President and Founder of Celebrate Life by Design, LLC. As a certified Executive Leadership Coach, she has helped countless individuals maximize their life potential and turn their wildest dreams into reality.   Sherry Duson is a family therapist who has been in practice since 1999. She has specialized in the needs of new mothers, focusing on perinatal mental health, both as a practitioner and the founder of The Center for Postpartum Family Health in Houston, Texas.   Here are three powerful takeaways from the episode: First, let go of perfection and trust the process—it's okay if the journey isn't linear; your kids will find their way in their own time. Second, focus on building connection over control—your relationship will matter far more than the pressures of grades, college, or success. Finally, prioritize yourself as a mom—taking care of your emotional well-being models resilience and self-love for your teens. Whether you're in the trenches of middle school drama or navigating the complexities of launching young adults, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone, and there's joy in the journey. https://sueludwig.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sue.ludwig/ https://drshannonsouth.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drshannonsouth/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-dickison-taylor-21681010/ https://www.instagram.com/celebratethebestu/ https://www.sherryduson.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sherryduson/ Learn more about your ad choices.

IN THIS PODCAST:Helping therapists align their dream lives and businesses (08:56) Traps that can stop people from moving forward (15:20) Your intuition is your soul's calling (24:32) Helping therapists align their dream lives and businessesStudies show us that when we have an external focus of control, we have more anxiety and depression, so when we bring this in and become the solution and align with our real needs … when we align with [them] … we can tap into that flow better. (Dr. Shannon South) You can tune yourself, like an instrument, to your needs and desires so that you are better able to care for yourself. This happens by working on your healing. By focusing your control on your internal self you have more confidence, peace, and ability to cope with fluctuations in the external world. Step into parts of [yourself] that are beyond the mind, [so that you] are not just all mental. (Dr. Shannon South)Make use of visualization, meditation, breathwork, and many different modalities that help you to connect your physical body and your conscious mind. Have this unison and compassion between mental and physical instead of having your mind work against your body and your sensations. Traps that can stop people from moving forwardThere are different subconscious survival traps that people can fall into which keep them stuck in the past, blocking their attempts and progress at moving forward. Some of them are: Perfectionism The not-enough trap The spiritual bypass and running after any quick solution Depression and burnout Your intuition is your soul's callingIntuition is your soul [speaking] … that part of us that is longing [for] us to grow, that's pulling us, luring us to the soul [to grow] towards our callings and our passion … and passion is the pipeline to the soul. (Dr. Shannon South) Find your passions, because they are the bridges that can take you to the things that are nourishing for you. Allow space for the things that are healing and nourishing to you once you find them. Schedule time for them in your days and weeks to improve your self-connection.

So, I want to really dig in today, and you should learn a lot from her. And we'll talk about things that if you're a patient of mine, you know, we talk a lot about. But, of course, these are things that are outside of my area of expertise and that's why I want to have around today so that we could really dig into that. So, Dr. South, welcome to the show. Dr. South: Thank you. I'm honored to be here. I've been following your work for some time and watching your amazing healing and supporting of other people, so I'm thrilled to be a part of that. Dr. Hedberg: Great. Before we jump in, why don't you just tell us a little bit about yourself and what you're focusing on these days? Dr. South: Absolutely. I am a licensed professional counselor and an author, and I do trainings for therapists on bringing more soul and spirit into their practice. But I also have been working with trauma and spiritual psychology for over 20 years. And I, of course as you know, we get into the field sometimes because of our own personal journeys. And when I was in my 20s, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder,
