094: How to Help your Teen Live a Better Story
Do you have a teen who is struggling, floundering, or fighting with you constantly? If so, do you find yourself wondering how to help your teen see within themselves the hero of a truly great story?

- Trust the story that your teen wants to create.
- Create an opportunity for your child to live a better story.
- Improve your current story with your teen by embracing whimsy and adding in memorable scenes.
