79. Why You Feel Overwhelmed as a Mom of Teenage Boys and What to Do About It

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, snapping at your family, or wondering why everything feels so hard right now, this episode is for you.

This time of year gets busy fast. School events, sports, work, home, and everything in between. It can feel like too much. And when your brain starts telling you there is not enough time, overwhelm takes over.

In this episode, I break down what is really causing that overwhelmed feeling. Spoiler alert. It is not your schedule. It is how you are thinking about it.

I also share three simple shifts to help you feel calmer, think clearer, and stay connected to your teenage son. Because when you feel overwhelmed, connection is the first thing to go.

If your teenage boy won’t talk, pulls away, or pushes back, this episode will help you understand why and what you can do differently.

You are not behind. You are not failing. You just need a few simple tools.
