Reset Series (Part 3 of 3): The Three Selves — Self-Compassion
In this final episode of the Reset Series, Ashley walks parents through the third and often overlooked piece of sustainable change: self-compassion. Because awareness without compassion can quickly become shame. And regulation without gentleness can still leave parents stuck in cycles of self-criticism, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm.

Reset Series (Part 2 of 3): The Three Selves — Self-Regulation
In Part 2 of the Reset Series, we move one layer deeper—from awareness into regulation. Because awareness helps you see the pattern… but regulation is what helps you shift it in real time.
And this matters, especially in the moments that feel the hardest—when your teen says something sharp, when your patience is thin, when your body reacts before your mind can catch up.
Key Podcast Topics
(aka My Specialties)Â
#1
Relationships
The relationship you have with yourself (and to parenthood), coupled with the relationship you have with your adolescent is the #1 way you have influence in their life. You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be covering this topic a lot.
#2
Skill-Development
I'd argue everything is a skill: self-awareness, communication, accountability, time-management, and self-advocacy...you guessed it: all essential skills to thrive in life. Inside the TG podcast, I show you how to get clear and take action to guide your t(w)een to develop these skills and more.
#3
The Intersection of Science + Soul
The 3-D world is really cool (hello, neuroscience!), and when you integrate it with the powerful world of 5-D (hello, intuition and spirit!), you've got yourself an unstoppable combo of science and soul to elevate your mind, build bridges of understanding between you, while guiding them to take action that's in alignment with their highest good.
