• 281. "Why do I Even TRY!" When Parents Feel Like Nothing They do Makes a Difference
    Aug 19 2025

    We've all been there. You limit screen time, cook healthy meals, set boundaries... and your kid still finds garbage to watch, makes terrible choices, maybe even walks away from everything you've tried to teach them. So you throw your hands up and think: Why do I even bother?

    I get it. My oldest loves telling people they couldn't watch SpongeBob growing up because I didn't want them seeing parents portrayed as idiots. And guess what? They found trash media anyway. A lot of good that did me, right?

    You'll learn:

    • The 3 ways we mess this up (spoiler: we're all guilty)
    • Why trying to "fix" your kid always backfires
    • The one thing we get wrong that creates this exhausting cycle
    • How to parent without losing your mind or your relationship
    • Why your kid's choices aren't about you (even when it feels personal)
    This episode is for you if:
    • You're tired of feeling like a failure when your teen makes bad choices
    • You've tried everything and nothing seems to work
    • Your kid has walked away from church, family values, or just basic respect
    • You're ready to stop the micromanaging madness
    • You want to love your kid without enabling them

    Look, this isn't about giving up or becoming a pushover. It's about getting honest about what you can actually control (hint: it's not them) and focusing your energy where it actually makes a difference.

  • 280. How to Tell Your Teen of SO Well, They Thank You
    Aug 12 2025

    Most parents dread “those” moments — the heated arguments, the eye rolls, the slammed doors. But what if you could handle those situations so well that your teen actually thanks you afterward? In this episode, I’m sharing my five-step process for turning any blow-up into a breakthrough. You’ll learn exactly how to diffuse the tension, communicate so your teen feels valued and understood, and still hold your boundaries — without walking away frustrated or full of regret.

    Whether it’s curfew drama, messy rooms, or an attitude that’s pushing every button you have, this framework works. You’ll feel seen and respected as a parent, and your teen will feel safe and heard. The best part? Everyone leaves the conversation feeling closer, not further apart.

  • 279. Teens Need to be Bored Sometimes
    Aug 5 2025

    Let’s be honest—most of us feel a little panicked when our teen says, “I’m bored.” It triggers something, right? We start signing them up for more, pushing them to be productive, filling every gap… but why?

    In this episode, I’m sharing why boredom is actually a gift—and how our discomfort with it says more about us than them. You’ll learn:

    • The real reasons we try to keep our teens busy (spoiler: it’s not all about them)

    • What chronic activity and distraction actually creates in your teen

    • A simple 3-step process to allow boredom in a way that builds connection, resilience, and creativity

    If you’re ready to stop managing your teen’s schedule like a cruise director and start raising a grounded, thoughtful human, this one’s for you.

  • 278. How We Fail Ahead of Time with Our Teens
    Jul 29 2025

    Ever think to yourself:
    “It’s too late.”
    “Why even bother?”
    “Nothing I do makes a difference.”

    You’re not alone—but you are believing a lie.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most heartbreaking ways I see good parents unintentionally give up: they fail ahead of time. Out of fear. Out of burnout. Out of guilt. Out of believing their situation won’t change.

    We’ll talk about how to recognize this quiet kind of surrender, why it happens to even the best parents, and the three mindset shifts that reignite hope and healing in your relationship—no matter how late in the game it feels.

    If your teen is heading into senior year and you’re silently spiraling about the countdown, their future, or how disconnected you feel—this episode is your sign.

    🟡 I have 11 spots in my 2025–26 Senior Year Parent Group. One of them has your name on it.
    Let’s make this final year one you’re proud of.

  • 277. "What Could I Have Done Differently?!"
    Jul 22 2025

    When your teen makes a big mistake—like coming home high—it’s easy to spiral into shame, blame, or panic. In this raw coaching session, I sit down with two parents navigating that exact moment with their daughter. Together, we unpack what good parenting really looks like when the stakes are high.

    We explore how to lead with love and follow through with consequences, how to grow into the 2.0 version of your parenting self, and the crucial shift in understanding which emotions and responsibilities belong to you—and which are your teen’s to carry.

    If you've ever asked yourself, “Did I screw this up?” or “What else could I have done?”—this episode is for you.

    Plus, if you're parenting a high school senior, now is the time to prepare for the most emotionally complex year of their life—and yours.

  • 275. "She Needs to Prioritize Getting up on Time"
    Jul 8 2025

    If your teen struggles to wake up, follow through, or seems totally oblivious to your family’s priorities—you’ll feel seen in this one. In this live coaching session with Kat, we dig into the frustration of having a teen who won’t just get it together… and what’s really happening beneath the surface.

    We unpack:

    • Why your teen’s “irresponsible” behavior might actually be age-appropriate

    • How well-meaning expectations can backfire (and make mornings miserable)

    • Why it’s okay for both of you to be human and imperfect

    • Practical ways to build better communication without constant battles

    If you’ve been telling yourself, “She just needs to care more / try harder / be more responsible,” this episode will shift how you see things—and bring way more peace to your mornings.

  • 274. "My Son Just Needs to Do it Better..."
    Jul 1 2025

    Ever find yourself thinking, “If my kid would just get their act together, life would be so much easier”? Yeah… you’re not alone.

    In this live coaching session, we dig into what’s really going on when we get stuck in that headspace—whether it’s schoolwork, bedtime routines, or the everyday grind. You love your kid. You’re trying your best. But when their struggles drag on (and on), it’s SO tempting to believe that if they would just change, everything would fall into place.

    Here’s the hard truth:
    Sometimes the real shift has to start with us.

    In this episode, we unpack:

    • Why telling your teen “how to fix it” often backfires

    • How to spot the sneaky ways we (yep, even us) get stuck in old patterns

    • What to do when your routines stop working and everyone’s frustrated

    • The pivot that helps you AND your teen move forward without power struggles

    If you’re exhausted from circling the same problems—and starting to think nothing works—this is for you. Spoiler: it’s not about doing more. It’s about seeing it differently.
