Show Notes

The sleepless nights, the expensive feeding, the mess... Just when you thought you were done with those years, your child becomes a teenager. This episode we discuss all the things that surprised us about becoming parents of teens and why we found those to be the hardest years.

Plus, what happens when your teen starts to distance themselves? Ginni and Jo share their insights and tips on fostering meaningful connections without pushing too hard.
