Parenting an adolescent: The secret sauce in 5 steps

Raising teens isn't easy, and parenting today isn't anything like our parents did! As a mom of 4 teens+, I did this podcast candidly and unscripted. I just wanted to talk to the audience about some things I have learned over my many years as a parent. My thoughts are scattered. 🤯 My words aren't perfect. 🫣 But I was speaking from the heart. 💜 Listen and Discover my 5 steps to raising an awesome adolescent. These 5 things I focus on in my own parenting. They are literally my SECRET SAUCE to having a good relationship with my kids. I hope you can benefit from these tips too.

Getting ready for life after high school doesn't have to be stressful! Tools like Loper, a free app that helps students explore options for continuing their education after high school in a personalized and engaging way, can make your journey easier!

Discover answers to questions like:

-When should parents start talking to their children about college and career exploration?

-What are some of the most common mistakes parents make when starting college or career conversations?

-How can parents encourage exploration and early preparation without making every activity feel like it’s about building a résumé?

-What are some meaningful steps students can take in 9th or 10th grade to set themselves up for future success—and how can parents support that without taking over?

I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a video by @nate.b.jones where he described a future where everyone had A.I. companions as the norm. Of course you need to check out his video, but it got me thinking.... What if we do have AI companions in the future? We aren't that far from that now. Teens use their phones for companionship more than ever before. What will this mean for my grandkids? What does this mean for my own children when they have to parent with A.I.? Join me as I explore the idea of parenting in the future with Artificial Intelligence at the forefront. The good, the bad, and the scary!

The Mother Load: The hidden load of the primary caregiver of children.

In this podcast, I examine what I call The Mother Load. The Mother Load is an often unseen burden on the primary caregiver of children. It consists of the collection of responsibilities of parenthood, coupled with the mental load of NEVER having a break from being a parent. Discover more about the Mother Load and how moms can better their situation.

This episode is for all the moms out there who are tired but still doing their best. The ones who selflessly and with love take on the whole Mother Load for their family.
