Episode Notes

Is parenting your teen leaving you lost in translation?

Today’s teenagers are navigating a world that looks nothing like it did 20—even 10—years ago. In this episode of What Do We Do Now? from AMFM Healthcare, Robin Lovell sits down with experienced clinicians Ashley Peña and Ari Drosman to explore what’s truly changed, why old parenting playbooks often backfire, and how parents can reconnect with kids growing up in the digital era.

Robin Lovell, Ashley Peña, and Ari Drosman break down the speed and saturation of today’s world, the rise of self-diagnosis culture, and what to do when boundaries fall apart. You’ll learn how to build trust, how to keep conversations open even about tough topics, and the importance of rituals, resilience, and being present even when you feel shut out.

Listen in for actionable tips, real-world stories, and hope for parents ready to strengthen their connection, stay curious, and show up for their teens, no matter what’s trending online.
