Are you struggling to connect with your teen amidst the chaos of modern parenting? Do you feel like the constant demands of academics, extracurriculars, and social media have created a wall between you and your child? If so, this episode of Power Your Parenting: Mom's the Teen Podcast with Colleen O'Grady and guest Susan Caso offers invaluable insights into building trust and fostering meaningful relationships with your teen. In this episode, Colleen and Susan explore the challenges of parenting in today's high-pressure world and emphasize the importance of creating emotional safety and connectedness at home. They discuss how critical it is for teens to feel a sense of belonging and trust in their parents, not just as enforcers of rules but as compassionate guides who see and accept them for who they are. The conversation highlights the difference between addressing behavior and unconditionally accepting your child as a person. The hosts also delve into the concept of “secure attachment,” which can be nurtured through intentional listening, emotional regulation, and moments of true connection—even in the midst of life's busyness. Through relatable examples and practical advice, the podcast equips parents to create an environment where their teens feel safe to be open and transparent. Susan Caso, MA, LPC, helps people find the feeling of connectedness that creates heartfelt interactions. A sought-after therapist, consultant, and speaker with over twenty years in clinical practice, Susan has helped parents, teens, couples, and families create emotional safety to build stronger relationships. Susan holds a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education from the University of Colorado. Susan's work has been featured in media outlets such as Mother.ly, andThe Hollywood Reporter. She is the author of the Parent -Teen Connection: How to Build Lifelong Family Relationships. Here are three powerful takeaways from the episode: Shift from judgment to acceptance: Teens thrive when they know their parents accept them unconditionally, even when their behavior falls short. Separating the person from the behavior allows you to address issues without damaging the relationship. Listen to understand, not to fix: When teens come to you with concerns, resist the urge to jump straight into problem-solving. Instead, focus on listening, validating their emotions, and empathizing with their experience to build trust and connection. Model emotional regulation and introspection: Your ability to handle stress and reflect on your emotions directly impacts your teen. By staying calm and self-aware, you create a safe space where your teen feels encouraged to share and grow. This episode is packed with actionable advice for navigating the ups and downs of parenting teens while fostering lifelong connections.

Kristi is a wife, and a mom of two, Hendrix (3 years old) and Beatrix (1 year old). After the birth of her son in 2020, she began imperfectly creating change in her life. These changes, although for a better life, were met with many challenges along the way. Looking back it is clear that the breakdowns she faced were necessary to reveal the breakthroughs that continue to help her on her journey toward living in alignment with what her soul truly desires and to inspire others to do the same. As a certified bilingual teacher for the last 12 years, Kristi is beginning to truly embody what she is really passionate about teaching and sharing -- healing our bodies, minds, and souls, with practices that allow us to truly come home to our most authentic selves. Ways she loves sharing her gifts -- check out her podcast "Confident Teen" and her book "Body Bliss Book 2."

One day after school you stumble upon a Nintendo Switch listing. You really really really want to buy it but you look at your bank account and see that you don't have enough money. You think to yourself, "If I had enough money to buy the Switch, it would make me really happy." For the next couple of days, you keep thinking about how happy having a Switch would make you. Somehow you manage to get enough money to purchase the Switch. A few days later the Switch arrives at your house. You unbox it and start playing with it. A couple hours later, you find yourself getting bored with it and you feel nothing anymore. You think to yourself, “Does money really make me happy?” This episode was produced & hosted by Ada & Natalie.

In my last podcast episode about sustainability, I briefly covered the idea of gardening/ owning plants. I think there are many well rounded, eco-friendly aspects of plants and gardening. Whether or not you decide to grow some of your own food, or just have a pretty house plant. I think it is environmentally friendly, good for our mental health, and a great way to liven up our living space! Even though I have a rough past with plants, only grew 1 carrot, and severely water deprived my Covid plant..Im giving it a try! This is your sign to get a plant! Like I said in my last episode, I want to try gardening. These past few days I've bought some plants, potted them, and started this new plant owning era. I think It's all about doing what you can and trying new things. My goal is to one day grow some of my own food so that its less trips to the store and less plastic packaging. I hope you enjoy this episode!WEEKLY QUOTE: “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”– Robert Swan, AuthorSOCIALS: ( lets connect

Join Hailey in the first episode of SEASON 2 (!!) as she sits down with her friend Gigi Romano, a recent graduate of Florida State University and founder of clothing brand, I Love You More (ILYM). Although Hailey and Gigi's lives may look perfect from the outside in, we're diving deep about how life is so much more than our Instagram feeds and external appearances. College was a game-changer for Gigi--filled with lots of lessons on self-worth, personal growth, and how to bounce back from rock bottoms. Most importantly, the girls are here to say that everyone has struggled, and instead of being ashamed and trying to hide our imperfections, we need to normalize conversations around mental health, authenticity, and how we're REALLY feeling. Check back next week for PART 2, where Gigi shares about the messaging of ILYM, starting a clothing brand in college, creating her own designs, and her passions for mental health & fashion.
