BattlePod

By Dr. Renea Skelton

BattlePod is about self-awareness. It's about YOU and your mental health. Sometimes you try so hard to get ahead in life that you find yourself fighting with the world; everything becomes a confrontation, like a constant battle. The harder you push the more difficult life becomes and then you feel alone and misunderstood. Listen as Dr. Renea shares strategies to deepen your connection within yourself and others from a perspective that may positively disrupt your thinking.

22. My Teen Won’t Talk to Me!

No parent enjoys the silent treatment from their teen, especially when you feel like you’ve enjoyed a close relationship - and nothing has changed on your end. Take a deep breath and understand that pulling away from parents is not only normal but also a necessary developmental stage of adolescence. Navigating this transition toward independence is difficult and as much as teens hate to admit it (and probably won’t), they still need you to stay connected and involved in their lives. Listen for practical tips to help navigate through this silent treatment.
