Ep 18: The Shift From Resisting to Celebrating Agency

My oldest son is about to turn 20. Over the years I have shifted my mindest from being frustrated that my kids have the ability to make choices I wouldn't make, more toward honoring and celebrating their god-given right to decide how they will live their lives and who they want to be. In today's episode I share a piece of my journey in the form of a letter I wrote to my son a few years ago.  If you are raising teenagers, or are in any other situation where you find yourself reaching over wanting to control other people ("just do what I want you to do, dang it!")this episode is for you.
