In this episode of Root & Reach, I’m inviting you to step out of the daily chaos and zoom way out—to the long view of parenting. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is anything I’m doing even working?” this episode is your reminder that the answer is yes… but the results don’t always show up on your timeline.
Inspired by the “Long-Range vs. Short-Range Parenting” model and the Slow Food movement, we’ll talk about how parenting teens is less about fast fixes and more about faithful, daily nurture. Teaching life skills, building character, and raising emotionally healthy young adults takes time—and that’s not a flaw in the system. That is the system.
You’ll hear:
🌱 Why long-range parenting feels slow (but works)
🧠 How short-range reactions are often fear-based (and what to do instead)
💡 A mindset shift that helps you breathe easier, even when the teen years feel bumpy
Whether you're in the thick of it or just bracing for the teen years ahead, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, steadier, and reminded of the quiet power of showing up over and over again.
👉 Listen now, then tell me: What helps you stay in the long game?
