25. How a Year of Stumbles and Insights Reset My Life and My Parenting

This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior.

What happens when life forces you to stop, take stock, and hit reset?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Tess Connolly, LCSW, opens up about her own reset over the past year — the wins, the setbacks, and the lessons learned. She shares the breaking point that made her step back, the grief of a relationship ending, and how honest conversations with trusted friends helped her find clarity. From reconnecting with her partner to rediscovering the teachings of Jack Kornfield, Tess walks you through the shifts she’s made to align with her values, slow down, and focus on what matters most.

• Learn how to navigate overwhelm and major life changes with compassion for yourself.
• Discover practical ways to reflect and reset when you feel stuck or depleted.
• Hear how slowing down can help you realign with your values and create more meaningful connections.

Listen now and be inspired to find your own moments of pause, reflection, and intentional reset.
