Jen KatsevThere are 11-year-olds spending $200 on anti-aging serum at Sephora, and we're calling this a phase. I do want to gently push back on that, because it isn't just a phase.
Jen KatsevYour teenage daughter doesn't need you to be her friend. She doesn't need you to be her 17-year-old peer. She needs you to be her safe place. Here's how.
Jen KatsevIf you've ever felt like your teenager is living in a separate world you're no longer invited into, you are not alone. Lack of love is not the problem. Never was. It's that being loving and creating emotional safety are two entirely different things.
Jen KatsevIf you're someone who struggles with overthinking, there's nothing wrong with you. Your mind is trying to protect you the best way it knows how. But there's a better way. The next time you find yourself caught in an overthinking spiral, remember: you can't think your way out. Take a breath. Reset your nervous system. And then listen to what emerges from the quiet. Your clarity is there, beneath all the noise. It's time to give it space to surface.
