Breast cancer transformed Terri Fedonczak’s life by creating clarity that helped her release her pursuit of money and status to focus on cultivating deep relationships with her four girls and her patient husband.
On a trip to South Africa, Terri witnessed the power of lionesses as they supported each other within the Pride; it was a lightning bolt of realization, leading her on a mission to bring the Power of the Pride to girls and their parents.
Terri’s book Field Guide to Plugged-In Parenting, Even If You Were Raised by Wolves pulls together her 22 year experience of raising children, and she shows the reader how you can be raised by wolves and still change your families’ trajectory by learning new skills and getting clear on your values.
Today Terri and I discuss how you can repair your relationship with your teenager. It’s never to late.
