Being called a Positive Mom, Elayna shares her story of one day laying down and having a head full of suicidal thoughts, being almost homeless, with no money as well as her family being far away from her which was an agonizing situation. At that moment when she didn’t know what to do, she just took a paper and wrote about who she wanted to be not who she was in that moment, this worked as a motivation to carry on with life. And from that moment onwards she decided to “be positive” and help mothers in that dark place to stand up for themselves.
She also talks about Ephebiphobia which is the fear of teenagers. The representation of teens by media for decades has shown teens as being shallow, careless, lazy, rude, etc.. But it’s quite the opposite, their brains are growing and they are trying to prove themselves and seeking identity from adults who are often parenting from their own trauma and judge them and hurt them when they need them the most. We talk about how to change old patterns and Elayna offers some really great suggestions for parents of teens.
