Negotiation isn't a boardroom skill—it's a parenting skill, and every hard conversation with our teens is a training ground. In this episode, I talk with negotiation expert Atiya Qureshi about asking for what we need, managing our own emotional storms, and finding the relational middle ground between passive and aggressive. We dig into understanding interests over positions, the internal negotiation we have with ourselves first, and why being listened to opens our kids up to hearing us. Come learn alongside me. Guest Bio: Attia Qureshi is the founder of Attia Qureshi Consulting and an adjunct at the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy. A former instructor at MIT Sloan and the Ross School of Business, she has worked on behalf of the US State Department in conflict zones around the world.

When a teen is in crisis, the behavior is not the whole message. In this conversation, I talk with Katie May about what she calls "fire feelers," kids and teens who are biologically sensitive, highly reactive, and slow to return to baseline once emotions get big. Katie explains how these kids often grow up hearing some version of "you're fine" when they are very much not fine, and how that repeated mismatch can teach them to distrust their own internal experience. We talk about why self-destructive behavior is often an attempt to make overwhelming emotion stop, and why behavior has to be understood as communication before it can really change. We also get into one of the most important parts of the episode for me: what happens to parents when things escalate. Katie talks about the shame and blame cycle, the grief that sits underneath so much of that, and why parents need their own support if they are going to stay steady in the middle of a crisis. We unpack the revolving door of hospitalization, what keeps families stuck there, and why healing is not about making all the stress disappear. It is about learning how to live inside a life that is hard and still build something meaningful, connected, and hopeful. Key Takeaways Some kids are biologically more sensitive. They feel emotions intensely, react quickly, and take longer to calm back down. Katie calls these kids "fire feelers." Repeated dismissal teaches kids to doubt themselves. When a child keeps hearing "you're fine" while feeling overwhelmed, they may start to believe their own internal signals are wrong. Self-destructive behavior is often a solution, not just a problem. It may be an impulsive attempt to make unbearable emotion go away fast. Behavior is communication. If the outside looks chaotic, there is usually something painful and dysregulated happening on the inside. Validation is not approval. It is a way of saying, "I see how hard this is for you," without reinforcing harmful behavior. Parents do not need a perfect script. Sometimes the right response is words, and sometimes it is simply staying present without minimizing what the teen is feeling. Beneath blame and shame, there is often grief. Parents are grieving the gap between the life they imagined and the life they are actually living. You cannot just remove a coping strategy without building something else. If a behavior is serving a survival function, there has to be a different way for that person to get through the day. The hospitalization cycle can become its own trap. Parents and clinicians feel temporary relief, but the teen often comes back to the same triggers without enough targeted support. Parents need real support too. This is heavy, isolating work, and families need spaces where they can talk honestly without being judged or panicked at. About Katie May Katie K. May is a licensed therapist, author, speaker, and group practice owner. She founded Creative Healing, a multi-location teen support center in the Philadelphia area, and wrote the #1 Amazon best-seller You're On Fire, It's Fine.

Have you ever felt your heart break watching your daughter come home devastated by friendship drama—and wondered if helping might actually make things worse? In this episode of Power Your Parenting Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady sits down with friendship expert and author Shari Gazitt to unpack the emotional world of girl drama, exclusion, group chats, and friendship struggles. Together, they explore why moms often feel pulled into the pain of their daughters' social struggles and how our own teenage experiences can get triggered in the process. Shari shares practical wisdom for supporting girls without rescuing, fixing, or escalating the drama. Shari Gazitt is an international friendship expert, speaker, founder of Teen Wise, and author of Girl Drama Decoded: Empower Your Daughter Through the Ups and Downs of Girl Drama and Friendships. With a background in counseling psychology and over 30 years of experience, she has helped thousands of girls navigate friendship struggles, social anxiety, exclusion, and the emotional ups and downs of growing up. Through coaching, workshops, and her Mom Wise Collective, Shari equips both moms and daughters with tools to build resilience, confidence, and healthier relationships. In this conversation, Colleen and Shari discuss the biggest mistakes moms make when their daughters are hurting—such as becoming overly dramatic, dismissive, or intrusive. They talk about why moms must “stay above the drama” instead of jumping into the trenches with their daughters, how group chats intensify social pain, and why trying to control other girls, parents, or schools often backfires. The episode also dives into emotional resilience, cognitive distortions, boundary setting, role modeling healthy friendships, and the importance of helping girls believe they are strong enough to navigate difficult social situations. One of the most powerful themes throughout the episode is that moms don't need to fix every problem—they need to help strengthen their daughters. Three Takeaways 1. Your daughter needs calm support more than rescue. Validation and listening often help more than immediately fixing the problem. 2. Moms can accidentally intensify girl drama when their own emotions, fears, or past wounds get activated. 3. The goal is not to protect daughters from every hard friendship experience, but to help them build confidence, resilience, boundaries, and healthy relationship skills.

Parenting struggling teens is one of the most difficult and challenging seasons of life, and it is no surprise that it is correlated with decreased marital satisfaction. Problems with teens become problems in the family, and according to Brandon Joffe, licensed clinical social worker and founder of Inspired Resolutions Counseling, solutions need to involve the family.     In this interview, Brandon answers Karla's questions on homework, disrespect, anger, emotions, drugs, suicidal threats, discipline disagreements, and more. His practical solutions and experience-based insights give parents hope and help, whether they are at a crisis point or just typical teen struggles.     Brandon Joffe is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly two decades of experience assisting teens, families, and marriages through challenging times.

He offers multiple support groups, including support for parents of struggling teens and anger management for families. He also offers online courses for ADHD, boundaries, parenting, court-ordered co-parenting, and anger management.     Joffe began his journey as an addiction counselor at the Substance Abuse Foundation, gaining insight into substance abuse's impact on youth.

Later, he served as a Drug Court therapist at the Central Justice Center, collaborating with legal professionals to aid recovery. In 2010, Joffe transitioned to private practice with CIFT, engaging with schools and churches in Brea, Anaheim Hills, and Placentia.

Teens are getting hit hard by one of the weakest summer job markets in decades, and experts say it's more than just bad luck. With businesses tightening budgets, cautious consumer spending, and even older workers competing for entry-level roles, seasonal jobs for 16–19-year-olds have dropped to historic lows, reshaping what summer work looks like for an entire generation.

Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta are joined by Tamara Hubbard, MA, LCPC, a licensed clinical professional counselor and food-allergy parent. Together, they dig into what food allergy anxiety actually looks like in teenagers, why some teens take more risks as they get older, and what parents can do to support their teens without making things worse. What we cover in this episode is about food allergy anxiety in teens: What makes teenagers a high-risk group for food allergy reactions. Independence is increasing at the exact same time parental oversight is decreasing, and that combination creates real safety concerns. What food allergy risk-taking actually looks like. It is not always what parents expect, and some of it is just teens figuring out how to belong. Food allergy social anxiety is its own distinct experience. The fear of looking different, being a burden, or standing out can drive behavior just as much as the fear of a reaction. Why parental anxiety matters more than most parents realize. The way parents talk about food allergies often directly affects how teens handle them. How to build confidence and ownership in your teen. What to do when a teen is either too anxious or not anxious enough. *********** Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

If you listened to part one of my conversation with Tania Johnson, you already know how powerful it was to understand what is happening inside the teenage brain. In this second half, we move from the “why” into the “what now?” We talk about the practical side of parenting teens in today's world, including chores, emotional intelligence, resilience, family connection, and of course… technology.One thing I really appreciated about this conversation is how balanced and hopeful it felt. Tania does not come from a place of fear or perfectionism. Instead, she reminds us that parenting teens is about relationship, repair, and helping our kids gradually build the skills they need to become capable adults. We also talk honestly about screens and smartphones, and I think every parent of tweens and teens will feel seen in this conversation.In this episode, we cover:Why emotional intelligence may matter more than IQ long-termHow parents teach EQ through everyday conversations and reactionsWhy family dinners and chores build confidence and connectionHow to hold expectations without constant power strugglesThe reason more teens seem afraid of failure and independenceWhy resilience grows through small risks and mistakesWhat parents often get wrong about smartphones and social mediaWhy it is okay to “rewind” and change tech decisions laterResources We Mention for Raising Resilient TeensCheck out Tania's book: The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient Children by Tania Johnson and Tammy Schamuhn (Amazon / Bookshop.org)The Kimball Family Chores SystemRaising Digital Citizens conversation cardsPassing along ownership to your teensSome more thoughts on teens and tech from me and one of my interviews with Andrea Davis of Better Screen TimeDon't miss #LifeSkillsNow - register right now!Kitchen StewardshipRaising Healthy Families follow Katie on Instagram or FacebookSubscribe to the newsletter to get weekly updatesYouTube shorts channel for HPHFind the Healthy Parenting Handbook at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/podcastAffiliate links used here.

Every episode is designed to help you stay calmer, feel more confident, and make parenting feel a little less overwhelming.If you're tired of second-guessing yourself during tantrums, meltdowns, bedtime battles, or emotional outbursts, subscribe and follow along. The goal here isn't perfect parenting—it's helping you understand your child well enough that hard moments start feeling easier to navigate.

Simple tasks that seem easy to you become overwhelming battles for your teen or young adult with ADHD. One small request turns into a massive blow-up. And when we don't understand the ADHD brain, it can feel like they're being disrespectful, lazy or even manipulative. In today's episode, I'm joined by therapist and ADHD expert Debbie Murad to unpack what's really happening underneath ADHD and emotional dysregulation in teens and young adults. Debbie explains why so many ADHD behaviors are misunderstood as intentional defiance when they're actually rooted in brain development, executive functioning challenges, dopamine regulation, and overwhelm.We also talk about the emotional toll ADHD takes on teens themselves. Because behind the missed assignments, emotional explosions, forgotten responsibilities, and impulsive behaviors, many teens are silently carrying shame, self-loathing, anxiety, and the exhausting feeling that they can never quite keep up with everyone else.This conversation is especially important for parents who feel burned out, triggered, confused, or stuck in constant conflict with their teen. Because understanding what's happening neurologically can completely change the way you respond, and ultimately strengthen the relationship with your child.In this episode on ADHD and emotional dysregulation in teens, we discuss:Why ADHD behaviors are often mistaken for disrespect or defianceWhat emotional dysregulation actually looks like in teens or young adults with ADHDThe difference between supporting your child and over-accommodating themWhy teens with ADHD can become overwhelmed by seemingly “simple” tasksHow ADHD impacts self-esteem, shame, and relationshipsWhy parents often take ADHD behaviors personallyThe connection between ADHD, impulsivity, dopamine, and addiction riskHow hyperfocus can become both a strength and a challengeThe link between ADHD, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and burnoutHow parents can become better advocates for their neurodivergent childWhy mindfulness and emotional regulation work for parents matters tooThe importance of helping teens build executive functioning skills instead of doing everything for themHow understanding your child's brain can transform your relationship with themMore about Debbie MuradDebbie Murad brings over 30 years of expertise as a Clinical Social Worker, having worked with a wide spectrum of clients, including adolescents struggling with executive functioning, mental health and addiction issues. As the founder and CEO of Beach Cities Gateway, a transitional program for emerging adults, Debbie specializes in guiding young people through the challenges of mental health, addiction, and executive functioning.Looking for support?

Join Jim and Greg for this special 3 Martini Lunch as they look at some important stories that did not rise to martini status in recent weeks but deserve attention. Today, Jim looks at three different stories that leave him optimistic about young Americans. Greg also spotlights a story involving young people but devotes his other two choices to horrible actions by Democrats.After Greg shares some thoughts about Memorial Day, they shift to their discussions for the day. Jim cheers data showing very positive results from schools banning cell phone use by students for all or part of the school day. And while usage goes down, we're seeing significant progress in other areas. Meanwhile, Greg sounds the alarm on new research showing what impact hours of screen time have on young brains.Next, Jim applauds the low teen birth rate, which has plummeted over the past few decades. Greg focuses on the recent Supreme Court decision on racial gerrymandering to point out how Democrats claim to be defending norms and institutions, but want to abolish or radically alter institutions that don't do what they want them to do.Finally, Jim takes us inside his very positive experience with high school robotics competitions and the great lessons those students learn. Greg talks about a recent Justice Department report explaining just how much the Biden administration discriminated against pro-life Christians and other conservatives of faith.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinFor a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday. 

Have you ever looked at your adult child and wondered, “How did we get here—and how do I love them without losing myself in fear, grief, or control?” In this powerful episode of Power Your Parenting Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady sits down with bestselling author and parenting expert Jim Burns to talk about one of the most painful and confusing seasons of parenting: when an adult child begins to drift—whether from family values, faith, responsibility, or even the relationship itself. Jim shares practical wisdom and deep compassion for parents navigating estrangement, emotional distance, poor choices, or the heartbreak of watching a child struggle in their 20s and 30s. Together, Colleen and Jim discuss how to shift from controlling to connecting, how to set healthy boundaries without pushing your child away, and why staying in the “messy middle” matters more than perfection. Jim Burns is the founder of HomeWord, a ministry dedicated to helping families thrive, and the author of multiple bestselling books including Doing Life with Your Adult Children and When Your Adult Child Strays: Trading Heartache for Hope. He speaks around the world on parenting, marriage, faith, and leadership, and has more than three million resources in print in over 20 languages. Jim and his wife Kathy have three adult daughters and several grandchildren, giving him both professional expertise and lived experience in navigating the emerging adult years. In this conversation, Jim explains why parenting adult children requires an entirely different skill set than parenting teens. He discusses the importance of “giving your child the passport to adulthood,” why unsolicited advice often feels like criticism, and how fear can quietly drive unhealthy parenting patterns. Colleen and Jim also tackle difficult topics like estrangement, deconstruction of faith, enabling versus helping, codependency, and the grief many parents experience when their dreams for their child don't unfold the way they imagined. Throughout the episode, Jim emphasizes that the goal is not controlling your adult child—it's preserving connection, becoming a safe person, and building bridges instead of walls. 3 Takeaways from This Episode: Parenting adult children requires letting go of control while staying emotionally connected. Fear-based parenting often damages relationships, while warmth, listening, and boundaries foster trust. Estrangement and struggles do not mean you failed as a parent—healing and reconnection are still possible.

Before You Refer to the Hospital: De-Escalation, Safety Planning, and Wraparound Care for Teens in Crisis When a suicidal teen is in crisis, is the hospital really the safest call? What outpatient therapists need to know. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, leads this episode from his work running a comprehensive DBT private practice in Los Angeles that specializes in higher-acuity adolescent cases, including teens with serious suicidality, self-harm, and emotional dysregulation. These are exactly the clients most often routed toward psychiatric hospitalization or platform-based care, and Curt argues the default-to-hospital reflex frequently makes things worse, not better. Drawing on recent research and his clinical experience, Curt walks through the iatrogenic harms of adolescent psychiatric inpatient care, why post-discharge is the highest-risk window for completed suicide, and how clinician anxiety can drive premature 5150 holds and crisis referrals. Katie Vernoy, LMFT, joins with years of LPS-designated assessment experience from community mental health, naming what really happens when a teen gets sent in, including the relational rupture that often starts the moment a crisis evaluation is requested. Together they show outpatient therapists, including solo practitioners, how to build the clinical infrastructure that makes hospital diversion a real option: standardized risk assessment, collaborative safety planning that starts at intake, verbal de-escalation, family-integrated care, and wraparound treatment teams that include both formal providers and informal natural supports.

Dr. Veronika Mesheriakova is an adolescent medicine physician, addiction specialist, and founder of the Northern California Adolescent Specialty Center. She previously served as an Associate Professor in the Division of Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine at University of California, San Francisco, where she founded the UCSF Youth Outpatient Substance Use Program and conducted research focused on adolescent substance use and addiction. Dr. Mesheriakova completed her pediatrics residency at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital, followed by a fellowship in Adolescent Medicine at UCSF. She will also be a featured speaker at the Human Potential Conference.In this timely episode of Shrinks Rap, Dr. James Bramson speaks with Dr. Veronika Mesheriakova about the growing mental health and addiction crisis facing today's teens. Together, they explore the rise of high-potency cannabis, fentanyl exposure, vaping, and polysubstance use among adolescents—many of whom appear outwardly “fine” while quietly struggling emotionally.Dr. Mesheriakova explains how today's cannabis differs dramatically from earlier generations, with higher THC concentrations linked to anxiety, depression, psychosis risk, emotional dysregulation, and addiction in developing brains. The conversation also examines the growing danger of fentanyl contamination in counterfeit pills and recreational drugs, making experimentation increasingly life-threatening.The episode highlights practical ways parents can approach teens without escalating shame, secrecy, or power struggles around substances and screen time. Dr. Mesheriakova emphasizes the importance of family involvement, the role medications can play in treatment, and how recovery ultimately depends on helping adolescents reconnect with hope, purpose, belonging, and a future worth showing up for. The conversation balances science, compassion, and humor—because parenting teenagers sometimes requires both evidence-based care and an excellent breathing practice.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here
