Episode Description from the Publisher

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸🌸🌸In this episode, Cynthia and Dr. Ken talk through some of the lies so many moms carry—especially when it comes to their teens. They unpack that nagging thought that if a teen is struggling, it must mean mom has failed, the pressure to hold everything together, and why a child pulling away might actually be a sign things are going more right than it feels.Today’s show is an honest conversation around the exhaustion, the comparison, and that underlying fear that one misstep could ruin everything. But more than anything, this episode is meant to be a reminder that so many moms feel these same things—and we’re all in this together! If a little reset and reassurance is needed this Mother’s Day… this one is for you.If you have a minute, please leave us a review.
