How to Navigate the Chaos: From Teenage Turbulence to Meaningful Connections

Wednesday Oct 09, 2024

Hey friends! It's your favorite occupational therapist from Adulting with Autism here, and I've got a special episode for you today. We're diving into the world of family dynamics with the amazing Elizabeth Bennett, who has over 35 years of experience in helping parents and teenagers connect.

So, if you're living at home, maybe in your early twenties, and still have those teenage arguments with your folks, this one's for you! Elizabeth shares her wisdom on bridging the communication gap and moving from chaos to conversation. She's a former award-winning principal with a passion for empowering people, and she's here to offer some incredible insights.

We also chat about the challenges of social media, the importance of courageous conversations, and how to keep that connection with your parents as you transition into adulthood. It's all about understanding, listening, and finding that balance.

Join us in this heartfelt discussion, and don't forget to share the podcast with anyone you think might benefit from it. Also, check out our Facebook group and grab some cool t-shirts from our website at adultingwithautism.com. Let's keep growing together!
