Steady in the Storm
Find Your Way Back to Calm and Connection in Tense Moments with Your Teenager
with Lori K Walters
Master Coach, Writer, Mother
Are you overwhelmed, on edge, and over-reacting with your teen?
Raising teenagers can feel like living in a storm of unpredictability.
​
One moment, things seem like they're going well, but you’re kind of just waiting for the next thing to happen…
​
And then you’re pulled into a tidal wave of emotion - a sharp exchange, a slammed door, or an icy silence that stretches on and on.
​
​
​
You try so hard to get it right.
To say the right thing, in the right way, at the right time.
​
But it lands wrong and, before you know it, you're reacting again.
​
​And afterward, you’re left with the ache of knowing you didn't show up how you intended.
​
​​
​
​Each time it happens, the distance between you grows.
You can feel the tension in the space between you. There's a chasm even when you’re standing in the same room.
​​
​
And beneath it all, there’s something even more tender.
​
A quiet fear that this distance will keep growing, that the ease you once had together is slipping away and the closeness might not come back, especially when they're out living on their own.
​​​
There is another way to meet these moments.
​
There is a steadiness within you, a calm center.
​
Learning how to return to that grounded place when you’re triggered is essential when raising an emotional, unpredictable teen.
​
It allows you to stay with yourself and truly meet your teen, even in their testiness and turmoil.
​
And from there, something new becomes possible.
​
-
You take the time to really listen to them, instead of following the urge to jump in to fix or take control.
​
-
You witness their experience without making it mean something about you and how you're doing as a mom.
​
-
You offer understanding, mentorship and collaboration, while keeping your hearts connected.
​
-
You build a relationship that doesn’t just survive this stage, but deepens into one that will endure all the tough stuff in years to come.​
Let me guide you there.
Join me for this free 75-minute workshop. It's a space to slow down, turn inward and begin again.
​
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s happening beneath your reactions
and open the door to your more grounded, intentional way of parenting.
​
Not by striving to be a different mother, but by coming home to yourself.
​
Because this season of mothering matters.
​In this Workshop, You Will:
​
-
Understand exactly what happens inside you when you get triggered, so you can stop the cycle instead of repeating it.
​​
-
Create a personal tool that helps you shift, in the heat of the moment, from your same old automatic reaction (yelling, crying, pleading, blaming...) into a grounded response.
​​
-
Reconnect with the steady, grounded part of you that can meet your teenager in their most emotional states and objectionable behaviors, without losing your cool, or yourself.

About Your Guide
I’m an internationally-certified Integral Master Coach™ and devoted guide for mothers walking the tender, tricky path of raising teens.
​
There was a time when I was anxious, reactive and caught up in patterns I didn't know how to change. I felt disconnected from my kids, and I didn't know how to reach them in the way I longed to.
​
So, I began the quiet work of learning how to return to my inner calm, even in the most stressful moments, and began meeting them from a place of steadiness instead of fear.
​
That path changed everything.
​
Now, with a blend of coaching expertise, intuitive energy work and deep listening, I help other mothers become grounded, confident and really connected to their teens and young adult children.
​
If you’re tired of worry and tension driving your parenting…
​
If you sense that there’s a better way you can show up for your teen…
​
If you long to feel close to your teen again, before more time slips by…
