Have you ever looked around your life and thought: Is this it? Am I really just a mom? As our kids grow into teens—or leave the nest altogether—it's easy to feel both grateful and yet strangely empty. I've been there too. For years, I measured my worth through my kids' needs, my to-do list, or the approval of others. But underneath it all, I was constantly asking myself, Am I enough? In this episode, I open up about my own journey through motherhood—those moments of folding laundry while everyone else was out chasing their dreams, and the dissatisfaction, and even resentment, that crept in when the house got quiet. I'll share how this struggle shows up for so many moms of teens and empty nesters: the endless busyness, the invisible labor, the resentment, the guilt, and the anxiety. I also talk about the ways we chase “enoughness”—and why it never lasts. What if you could stop chasing “enough”? Your worth isn't tied to grades, chores, or anyone else's approval—it's already within you. In this episode, I'll show you how to shift your mindset so you can let go of doubt and rediscover yourself beyond motherhood.

This week, I'm sharing unfiltered, never-before-heard moments recorded right after my interview with my son Beau. I open up about parenting—what's worked, what hasn't, and what I'm still learning. I talk about helicopter parenting, the pressures teens face today, and how parents can better support their kids in a social media world. We'll also explore learning to care less about what others think, how your calling shows up in unexpected ways, and how you can find perspective through hardship. If you're a parent, a leader, or just want deeper connections, this episode is full of honest stories, real encouragement, and lessons you can use today.In this episode:Unfiltered thoughts after my interview with my son, BeauHonest reflections on parenting style, challenges, and lessons learnedInsights on helicopter parenting and raising teens in the age of social mediaHow your calling reveals itself A reflection on the California wildfires and finding perspective through hardshipWhether TikTok should be banned and what AI might mean for our futureThe decline of real human connectionHere is my favorite quote from this episode:“In life you have to toot your own horn.

In this episode of Redwood Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis dive deep into the pressures kids face today—friendship struggles, social media comparison, cultural messages, and overwhelming school demands. They share honest stories from their own family and equip parents with practical, faith-based strategies to help their teens stay grounded, confident, and connected.

When my third oldest son was little he was a screamer.  Like multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes at a time and we spent years trying to figure him out.  We tried parenting trick after parenting trick, with very little success. Ultimately, you know what worked? Patience, love, compassion, and a willingness to be in the hard part with him, instead of wishing it was over. That's what helped us build a foundation of trust that allowed him to learn the tools that could help him have a good life. But the real trick was that I had to learn them for myself first. And like Jacob shares in our conversation on today's podcast, he had to decide to go first in his own way, too.  And now here we are 10 years later and we want to share our journey with you! I am so excited to share an inspiring and powerful conversation that I had with my incredibly brave 15 year old son, Jacob on the podcast today. So please grab your earbuds and join us for: Building a Foundation of Trust, a Conversation with My Homeschooled Teen Son. Join RECLAIM: The Stop Yelling Challenge HERE TODAY!  

This week, I'm answering three listener questions from the podcast hotline that tackle some of the most challenging aspects of emotional life.    From understanding why certain people trigger unexpected tears, to navigating the complex world of parenting teenagers and setting boundaries, to exploring what it really means to process versus neutralize emotions, each question reveals universal struggles we all face when trying to make sense of our inner experiences and relationships.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/526

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I want to enjoy this, but it's just not going how I hoped”—whether it's a family dinner your teen bails on or the quiet ache of the empty nest creeping in before it's even here? In this episode, I explore what it really means to be present in your life—especially during the messy, emotional seasons of parenting teens and letting go. As a mom, it's so easy to miss the moment you're in—not because it's gone, but because your mind is already spinning with frustration, disappointment, or fear about what's coming next. We often think presence is about savoring the good moments, but what if it's really about how we show up when things don't go the way we imagined? I'll walk you through how mindset plays a powerful role in helping you stay grounded, why resisting reality only makes things harder, and how to hold space for your feelings without letting them take over. You'll hear the story of a client who anchored herself in the mindset “I don't want to miss this,” and how that intention helped her stay centered—not because everything went perfectly, but because she was clear on how she wanted to feel. By the end, you'll have a new way to approach your own life—whether you're navigating distance with your teen or facing the transition of the empty nest—with more clarity, more presence, and more peace. Let's stop missing this stage of motherhood and our lives.

Understanding the Dynamics of Raising Boys In the realm of parenting, the relationship between a mother and her son is both unique and crucial. As children transition from adolescence into adulthood, fostering a healthy mother-son relationship can be pivotal in shaping well-rounded, compassionate, and confident young men. The journey of parenting boys is filled with distinct challenges and joys. Raising sons is not just about addressing their basic needs but also about understanding their intrinsic masculine traits. It's crucial for mothers to be consciously involved in their sons' emotional and social development, which can directly influence how boys perceive their role within the family and society. The Critical Role of Mothers in Building Relationships A striking point raised is the profound impact a mother's relationship can have on her son's development. Contrary to some societal narratives, celebrating masculine traits doesn't have to come at the expense of femininity. Instead, nurturing these traits while fostering empathy and kindness is key. Key Strategy: Open Communication One of the simplest yet most transformative strategies for fostering a healthy mother-son relationship is through open communication. Asking your son questions like, "How do you know I love you?" can open the door to better understanding and communication. This simple question encourages sons to express what actions or words make them feel loved and supported—information that is invaluable for any parent striving to connect more deeply with their child. Addressing Societal Messages About Masculinity It's no secret that boys today face a barrage of mixed messages about masculinity. Many boys are led to believe that their natural inclinations to protect and provide are undesirable or even toxic. However, it's essential to help them embrace these natural traits while also learning to express emotions in a healthy manner. Read the full show notes and access additional links.

At your wits end with trying to find effective consequences for your teen's behavior? Maybe loosening the reins rather than tightening them might work better! (Hint: Stop 'helicopter parenting' your teen!) On this episode of the Brainy Moms podcast, Dr. Amy and Sandy interview Ann Coleman, an attorney, parent educator, and host of the podcast, Speaking of Teens.  Ann shares a deeply personal journey that many parents might find all too relatable. Imagine discovering that your child, already grappling with anxiety and ADHD, has turned to marijuana. Anne's initial reaction was to tighten the reins through control and punishment, only to watch her relationship with her son deteriorate. However, a transformative encounter with a family counselor led her to embrace empathy and understanding, an approach she now champions through her podcast and Parent Camp program.Ann's story prompts us to question the long-held belief in helicopter parenting and its impact on teen autonomy. As we talk about societal pressures that push teenagers to behave beyond their developmental capabilities, there's a stark reminder of the importance of mutual respect. The conversation veers into the pitfalls of projecting perfect family lives on social media and the real harm it can cause by stigmatizing parenting struggles. We emphasize the need for balance—between stepping in to guide teens and allowing teens to face natural consequences—a critical factor that can significantly influence adolescent development.Through personal anecdotes and expert advice, we explore the pressures surrounding academic success and the value of redefining what it means to "succeed." From managing the distractions of college life to understanding the significance of setting and negotiating boundaries, this episode offers a comprehensive look at fostering resilience and independence in teenagers. Ann's insights, enriched by her own family experiences, serve as a guide for parents eager to connect with their teens in more authentic and supportive ways. Listen in to discover strategies that respect and nurture your teenager's emerging identity while maintaining a safe and supportive environment.CONNECT WITH US: Website: www.TheBrainyMoms.com Email: info@TheBrainyMoms.com Social Media: @TheBrainyMoms Our sponsor's website: www.LearningRx.comSandy's TikTok: @TheBrainTrainerLadyDr. Amy's brand new IG: @DrAmySaysGraceDr. Amy's website: www.AmyMoorePhD.com

In today's increasingly connected world, it's nearly impossible to shield our children from political discourse. As parents, our role is to equip our children with the tools they need to navigate political conversations with our kids in the safety of our home. When we teach our children how to have these conversations with friends and family in a respectful manner, their confidence and critical thinking skills grow.  I'm Connie Albers, a veteran homeschool mom who is married to Tom. Together, we have five grown children (three married) and many grandkids. I am committed to strengthening families through live TV, radio, podcasting, writing, and speaking. My book and audio, Parenting Beyond the Rules, Raising Teens with Confidence and Joy, helps parents navigate a critical season of parenting with a focus on building relationships.  Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/political-conversations-with-kids-part-2// To become a sponsor of Equipped To Be, email contact@conniealbers.com.   If you enjoy listening to Equipped To Be, would you kindly leave a review and a five-star rating?

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Does your teen seem overly concerned about how they look? Do they seem to overeat or restrict their food intake without worrying about the consequences? This interview with Dr. Charlotte Markey will help. Dr. Markey is a professor of psychology and chair of the Health Sciences Department at Rutgers University, and a research scientist who has published over 100 scholarly articles and chapters about mental health issues. She has been conducting research on eating behavior and body image for over 25 years. She is the author of The Body Image Book for Girls, Being You: The Body Image Book for Boys, and most recently, Adultish: The Body Image Book for Life.In this episode, we cover:What do you include when you speak of body image?I think of it now more about weight, but wouldn't it include having straight teeth, fewer pimples, and a cute haircut?Have young people always struggled with body image, or is this something new to our modern times?When should parents begin to worry that a teen's concern over body image is becoming too much?My 17-year-old is beginning to gain quite a bit of weight, and her doctor is concerned. She doesn't seem to be worried about it, but I am worried that she is establishing bad habits. We eat “normal,” relatively healthy food at home and have some “treats,” but not a huge amount, so she's not gaining weight from what she is eating at home. She is driving now and stops frequently to eat fast food and then doesn't eat much of what we serve for our meals. She also buys a lot of chips, sodas, and cookies and eats them in her room all evening. This is beginning to feel like disordered eating to me. Parents worry that if they say anything, they are drawing attention and casting too much emphasis on weight.I have a 16-year-old girl who is very aware of her weight. I think some degree of that is normal, but I see that she is adding more exercise to her routine even though she has always been active in sports. I also see that she is eating less and less at our meals, but then she eats an entire pint of ice cream. She loves clothes and is very pleased when she drops a size. Should I be worried?What is intuitive eating?Are the body image issues for boys different than for girls?What teens are at the greatest risk of developing an eating disorder?Are youth who have experienced trauma or food insecurity at greater risk?Are teens with ADHD at greater risk for eating disorders, especially overeating? What protective factors should we add to our kids' lives when we see them struggling?Where do you go first for help when your teen is in trouble?The impact of GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy on body image of teens.What are the impacts of social media and mainstream media on body imageSupport the Show.Please leave us a rating or review.

Yes, it really has been 25 years since Ralph's Party was released! You are that old! Here to talk about that book, and all the brilliant ones she's written since, is best-selling author Lisa Jewell. She tells us about her writing process, and how she cured herself of imposter syndrome. Lisa shares her top tips for budding authors, and introduces us to our new favourite website, doesthedogdie.com. We talk discuss true crime, and why so many of us women like it so much. Then there's some chat about raising adolescents - Lisa reveals why her parenting style differs from her partner's, and offers some advice on getting through the teenage years. We finish with a Scummy Mummy Confession from Helen that leaves Lisa more horrified than any of the terrible things she's written about in her books.

We are over the moon excited to introduce you to two brilliant parents of some amazing Stage 5 kiddos—who also happen to be two of David's very best friends.

All the topics! We can't wait for you to listen in on this one! . . . . .
