When your teenage son is struggling, it's easy to spend all your energy on the problems. The eye rolls, the arguing, the slammed doors. In this episode, Heidi does something a little different. She shares the five things she loves most about raising boys, the ultrasound moment that changed everything, and a simple challenge that will help you enjoy your son again, even on the hard days.
Takeaways:
- The surprise at the ultrasound that taught Heidi her experience as a mom comes down to a choice.
- Why your 14-year-old still loves you, even when it sure doesn't feel like it (and the small ways boys show it).
- The day a yelling stranger showed up on Heidi's porch, and what her sons did next.
- How laughter and food can open doors with your son that lectures never will.
- Why the "front row seat" to his struggles is actually one of the greatest gifts of being his mom.
- Your homework: the easiest assignment Heidi will ever give you, and why it helps your brain find more of the good.
