Some days, parenting a teen feels like standing on the beach at the edge of the water, watching the tide go out. They used to cling to you… now they drift toward their own waters. It’s both beautiful and terrifying.

Because here’s the truth: Teens might act like they don’t need your guidance, but they’re still scanning the horizon for your light - your calm in their storm, your belief when they doubt themselves, your love when they’re not sure they deserve it.
So even on the days when they roll their eyes, when the conversations are short, when you wonder if any of it is sinking in - keep showing up.

And your steady motherly light will have a way of bringing them safely home.
