From conflict to connection

For mothers who have completely lost their grip on their teenager and long for peace, trust, harmony, leadership, and lasting change.

MY STORY — Juliana Lagadeau

MY STORY

Due to the challenges I experienced in my connection with my mother during my teenage years, I left my family home at the age of sixteen. At eighteen, I became a mother myself. From the very beginning, I felt a deep desire to provide my child with a loving and secure foundation. This motivation led me to become an educational professional.

“The secure foundation I so desperately wanted to give my son proved more challenging in practice than I had imagined.”

While raising my son, I realized how challenging it was for me to live up to this. I was emotionally unavailable, tried to keep all the balls in the air, and unresolved experiences kept me in survival mode. This came with feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness, and helplessness.

“Instead of feeling supported, it often felt as though I was facing an entire front of professionals.”

As my son grew older and his behavior became increasingly challenging, we found ourselves struggling with various systems. Instead of feeling supported, it often felt as though I was facing an entire front of professionals.

This intensified my feelings of failure and helplessness. The countless support programs offered no solution; in fact, the problems only became bigger.

“My whole world was turned upside down, and I no longer knew where to turn.”

In 2020, my life reached a low point. I lost my home, my job, and my relationship, and my connection with my son seemed to have completely broken down.

As he entered adolescence, received incorrect diagnoses, was expelled from yet another school, and I lost all sense of control and trust, he was also placed under supervision. This was especially confronting because I myself worked as a youth protection professional. My whole world was turned upside down, and I no longer knew where to turn.

The Turning Point

Since we had already tried everything within the conventional frameworks, seeking spiritual support felt like a logical next step for me. I found myself in a warm and welcoming environment, without judgment. Through a consultation, it became clear which moments in my life had contributed to “the pattern” that was repeating itself without me being consciously aware of it.

After each session, I felt myself becoming lighter. I found my way back to myself. That was where the real transformation began. It brought peace and trust, and my soul’s mission also became clear. As a result, the connection with my son was able to heal on a deeper level and begin to flow again.

“Real change doesn’t come from fixing your child’s behavior, but from getting to the root.”
