Parenting teens has a way of surfacing everything we've been avoiding in our marriage. This week I'm talking with Shilo Minor about what happens when the connection thins out and you start feeling more like roommates than partners. We get into fawning, self-abandonment, boundaries that actually hold, and why the inner work is worth doing even when you're the only one doing it. If you love your person and still feel alone in the middle of the teen years, come listen. Guest bio: Shilo Minor is the founder of Your Real Life Love Story and the creator of the Real Love Method, a process that helps women build soul-satisfying marriages without couples therapy. Her heart is in guiding good women to break generational cycles of being emotionally neglected and taken for granted, so they can finally get the love, support, and affection they need from the partner they already chose. When she's not doing this work, you'll find her in the garden, in the sauna, or somewhere in the middle of a good conversation. She lives in rural Nova Scotia with her husband and their two small boys.

Before sitting down with Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Mya, Shawna and LaLa catch up on life. They celebrate Giulina's acceptance into a nature-based school (despite her dislike of getting dirty!) and discuss parenting in the digital age, including kids, Snapchat, social media, screen time, and why outdoor play matters more than ever.  Then, they're taking it back to the 2000s with Mya! The R&B icon opens up about her new album, Retrospect, staying true to herself throughout her decades-long career, overcoming challenges behind the scenes, and adapting from the MTV and CD era to today's streaming and social media landscape.  Mya also shares how she maintains her mental and physical well-being while balancing recording and touring, offers advice for aspiring artists, gives a behind-the-scenes look at creating a live concert, and previews what fans can expect from her Mohegan Sun performance.  If you grew up listening to Mya or love nostalgic 2000s music, this inspiring conversation is one you won't want to miss.Hosted by Shawna and LaLa, Life Beyond The Mic brings real conversations that go beyond the mic, lights, cameras, and stage.  Follow the show so you never miss an episode, and if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.  We feature real conversations, product experiences, and brands we genuinely love.  For interviews, product features, and media opportunities, visit www.shawnaandlala.com.

Hackadya's Elliot Williams and Al Williams were in a retro mood this week. There was a new '486 computer, a new mechanical TV, and a USB stick with a magnetic personality. Can you watch YouTube on a Game Boy? Maybe. For the can't miss articles, this week, Elliot and Al reflected on the awkward phase of 3D printers when they transformed from being expensive commercial machines, to where they are now. Meanwhile, Al was interested in how airplanes know how fast they are going. Along the way, there were musical hacks, precision machine tools, and a quantum 8 ball.

Send us Fan MailTeen defiance can be loud, relentless, and personal, especially when oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is in the mix. We pick up our ODD series with a clear focus on adolescence and family dynamics, because the teen years add jet fuel to conflict: independence seeking, emotional intensity, identity formation, and a hair-trigger sensitivity to authority. When a teen already struggles with emotional regulation, normal boundary testing can turn into skipped school, broken curfews, explosive arguments, and daily rule battles that leave everyone exhausted.We dig into one of the biggest misconceptions about oppositional defiant disorder in teens: the idea that the behavior is calculated or purely manipulative. What we often see instead is low frustration tolerance, rapid emotional escalation, and real difficulty calming down once the system is flooded. That doesn't excuse harmful behavior, but it does explain why harsh punishment, yelling, humiliation, public shaming, and inconsistent discipline tend to escalate the cycle. We also talk about how trauma and chronic stressors like bullying, neglect, criticism, and family instability can make a teen feel unsafe or powerless, and why trauma-informed therapy and skill-building matter more than winning a power struggle.You'll hear practical, evidence-based options like Collaborative Problem Solving (Dr. Ross Greene), DBT skills for anger and impulsivity, and why parents need support and coaching too. We also cover medication as a tool, not a cure, including common overlaps like ADHD and when SSRIs or other options may be considered. If you're parenting a teen with ODD, teaching, or trying to understand a young person who seems constantly on edge, this is a grounded roadmap toward calmer boundaries and better connection.

Episode 261 - Navigating the Teen Years - Connection Over Control. A Guide For Caring DadsIn this episode of Dad Space, Dave brings a grounded and personal perspective to one of the most challenging transitions in fatherhood: the teenage years. With humor and honesty, he reminds listeners that no dad is fully prepared for what happens when a child turns thirteen. While every father has experienced being a teenager, parenting one is an entirely different journey that requires learning in real time.Dave reflects on how the relationship between dads and their kids begins to shift during this stage. The closeness and dependence of childhood gradually give way to a push for independence, identity, and space. This change can feel like a loss for many fathers, creating tension between wanting to hold on and needing to let go. Rather than responding with tighter control, the episode reframes this moment as an opportunity to evolve the relationship into something deeper and more intentional.At the core of the conversation is a powerful mindset shift from control to connection. Dave explores how control often shows up as correction, instruction, or overprotection, even when rooted in love. However, these approaches can unintentionally shut down communication, especially with teenagers who are highly sensitive to feeling judged or micromanaged. In contrast, connection is built through trust, emotional availability, and a willingness to listen without immediately fixing or correcting.The episode emphasizes the importance of intentional listening as a foundation for maintaining a strong bond. Creating space for teens to speak openly without pressure or judgment helps build psychological safety and keeps communication lines open. Dave also highlights the need to balance guidance with independence, encouraging dads to allow their teens to experience natural consequences while remaining a steady and supportive presence in the background.Communication is another key theme, with a focus on shifting from interrogation-style questions to curiosity-driven conversations. By changing tone and approach, dads can invite openness rather than defensiveness, strengthening the relationship over time. Presence also plays a critical role, as consistent, small moments of showing up can have a lasting impact, often carrying more weight than advice.Ultimately, this episode reinforces that parenting teenagers is not about holding on tighter, but about staying close while letting go. As the relationship matures, influence does not disappear but transforms, with respect replacing compliance and connection becoming the foundation for long-term trust.Key Takeaway:Strong relationships with teenagers are built on connection, not control. When dads prioritize listening, presence, and trust, they create a space where their teens can grow independently while staying emotionally connected.___https://dadspace.caLeave Dave a voice message here!

But did you know that your teenage years are the single most important time to build bone density that will last a lifetime? In this episode of The Holistic Kids Show, Zane, Iman, and Kasim sit down with Dr. Doug Lucas — double board-certified physician in orthopedic surgery and anti-aging & regenerative medicine, and one of the world's leading experts on osteoporosis reversal and bone health. Dr. Doug shares his fascinating journey from professional ballet dancer to orthopedic surgeon to pioneering preventive medicine — and why he believes bone health is one of the most overlooked biomarkers of long-term health for young people today. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your teen years determine your bone health as an adult How bones respond to activity just like muscles do — and what that means for you The truth about milk, calcium, and dairy for bone strength Why ultra-processed foods are quietly harming your skeletal development The surprising #1 thing every kid should do right now for stronger bones What happens when kids don't build strong bones early — and why it's hard to fix later Early warning signs parents should watch for Why screen time is indirectly one of the biggest threats to bone health Whether you're a kid, a teen, or a parent, this episode will change the way you think about bones — and motivate you to take simple, powerful steps today.

One day you're their whole world… and the next, they're pulling away. In this episode, we talk about the emotional and spiritual tension of raising teens—why it feels like rejection, how God designed this season, and what it means to love your children enough to let them go. Register now for the ONE CONFERENCE:https://www.datenightfam.org/oneChat with Bre on Instagram@datenightwiththewoodsFollow Pastor Tony Wood on Instagram@tony.g.woodFor videos, old episodes, blog posts, events, and morewww.datenightfam.org

In this episode I am chatting with Munira Adenwalla, who is an occupational therapist and lives in London with her 14-year-old son. Munira realised when her son was young that school would not be a good fit for him. We talk about how our school conditioning runs deep and the worries that can come when we step away from it. And Munira tells us what unschooling looks like for her son, and how in hindsight she can see how his particular path has unfolded as he has followed his interests. We also talk about why unschooling allows neurodivergent children far more space to understand themselves and to forge a path that feels right for them. Connect with MuniraFB page: https://www.facebook.com/ot4kidswithmuniraParents' FB Group: www.facebook.com/groups/helpingkidswriteWebsite: https://www.ot4kids.co.ukIf you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories, you can do that here.   Thank you!The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.

Boundaries in Love: Discernment, Flattery, and Drawing Near to God Host Shirah Chante welcomes teens, parents, and youth leaders to Teens Draw Near to God and explains the show's purpose of helping teenagers know God through the Bible. Continuing her poem “Fair Love” from her poetry book Jaundiced View, she focuses on the lines about “sweetness of sound,” warning that flattering words can be insincere and used to manipulate, especially when teens feel insecure or rush relationships. She emphasizes discernment, giving relationships time, and honoring restraint through clear boundaries for one's body, mind, and soul, encouraging waiting for marriage and valuing friendship. She shares a personal story from Los Angeles about a night when a man respected her decision not to have sex, illustrating healthy boundaries. She closes with Ephesians 6:14–17, a prayer for teens, and a request for prayer.00:22 Welcome to Teens Draw Near00:56 Why This Podcast Exists01:57 Teen Years and Identity03:22 Why Read the Bible04:07 Introducing Poem Fair Love05:20 Reading the Full Poem07:34 Sweet Words or Flattery12:27 Restraint and Boundaries14:08 LA Story Testing Boundaries18:50 Practical Advice and Wrap Up19:39 Scripture Prayer and GoodbyeSupport the show

As we've parented our five children through the years, we've held them when the tears wouldn't stop flowing. We've listened as they questioned their worth, identity, and if the hard season they were walking through would ever end.We have spent plenty of time in the waiting rooms of counselors and therapists when our children were struggling. And we've spent even more time in prayer when we just didn't know what they needed or how to help.If you are a parent, you've likely found yourself in a similar position at some point. You may even be questioning how you can support your teen with their mental health right now.That's why we are so grateful to welcome Kristen Hatton to the podcast to have this important conversation. Kristen is a counselor, author, mother of three young adult children, and host of the Redemptive Parenting podcast, where she equips parents with wisdom and hope.

In this episode, Lisa reflects on what parenting her son through years of severe anxiety, OCD, aggression, and hospitalizations taught her as he transitioned into adulthood. She shares three principles that carried her through the darkest seasons—and continue to guide her as an autism mom today.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How acceptance evolved from a one-time idea into a moment-by-moment practiceWhy resistance to reality can interfere with decision-making during crisisWhat unconditional love looks like when your child feels unfamiliarHow holding hope differs from denial—and why it requires courageWhy clearer advocacy came only after facing what was actually happeningLisa's Takeaway:The teen years forced me to accept what was happening in real time, love my child without conditions tied to outcomes, and hold hope even when there was no evidence yet. Those three principles changed how I showed up as a parent—and as an advocate.Links Mentioned:Schedule a consultation: https://talkwiththeautismmomcoach.as.me/Email Lisa: lisa@theautismmomcoach.comIf this episode resonated and you're carrying a lot right now—whether you're in crisis or simply worn down—you don't have to navigate it alone.Schedule a one-on-one consultation at talkwiththeautismmomcoach.as.me and let's talk through what support could look like for you.

This is an honest conversation about prison survival, accountability, hip-hop, and building a future that doesn't lead back behind bars. _____________________________________________ #prisonstory #truecrime #prisonlife #statesprison #prisonsurvival #lockedin #realstories #rap _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode!

"I find so much incredible joy in serving the temple. And in this position, it has been mind blowing to me just the amount of testimony I've gained. And seeing people in their hard situations and now understanding that everybody's situation's hard. We don't see it 'cause they all hide it. Right? And we just need to let God in. We need to let Him approach us. And we all need to be that for somebody else.

Today we're diving into one of the most tender and complex stages of parenting—launching our neurodivergent young adults into independence, or more accurately, interdependence. My guest is Penny Williams, a parenting coach for neurodiverse families and the award-winning author of four books on ADHD, including Boy Without Instructions. In this episode Penny and I talk about the emotional challenges parents face during this transition, how to redefine what success and independence really look like, and why interdependence is often the goal that best supports our kids' thriving. We also explore the healing and acceptance this stage asks of us as parents—and how, even in the uncertainty, there's so much possibility for connection, growth, and joy. Also, this is part one of a two-part episode — listen to the rest of the conversation on Penny's Beautifully Complex podcast, which you will find here.  About Penny Williams A parenting coach for neurodiverse families, Penny Williams is the award-winning author of four books on ADHD, including Boy Without Instructions, producer and host of the Beautifully Complex Podcast, host of the annual Neurodiversity Summits, and co-creator of The Behavior Revolution Program, a parent training program designed to change the narrative on behavior and help parents celebrate and support their kids with ADHD or autism through neuroscience-backed insights, hard-won strategies, compassion, and guidance.  Penny empowers parents to help their neurodivergent kids — and families — thrive. Things you'll learn from this episode How parenting neurodivergent young adults can be both deeply complex and emotionally challenging Why redefining success for each individual young adult is key to healthier expectations How healing from our own experiences allows us to better support our kid's growth Why aiming for interdependence and self-determination, not independence, leads to greater emotional stability How launching into adulthood is often messy, nonlinear, and filled with opportunities for growth Why letting go of control, staying curious, and remaining open are essential during this phase of parenting Resources mentioned Penny Williams' Parenting ADHD and Autism website Beautifully Complex Podcast Part 2 of this conversation Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards on Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World (Tilt Parenting Podcast) I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World by Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards Dr.Dan Peters Discusses the Teen Years & Preparing for Navigating Launch (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Best Gap Year Programs for Neurodivergent Students (Thrive Autism Coaching) Dr Eric Endlich on Gap Programs for Neurodivergent Students (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Gap Programs Debbie Explored Gap at Glen Brook Parzival Academy Pure Life Adventure Program SOAR Sequin Land Institute   Learn more about your ad choices.

Luis Espinoza grew up in Waterbury, Connecticut, surrounded by crime, addiction, and chaos. With a mother in and out of jail, he dropped out of high school and started hanging around the wrong crowd. By 22, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison—but just three months in, Luis made a desperate move: he tried to escape. After being captured only hours later, he was forced to face the reality of life behind bars. In this episode, Luis opens up about his troubled childhood, his escape attempt, what prison was really like, and how he finally turned his life around after incarceration. #PrisonEscape #LifeAfterPrison #PrisonStories #PrisonEscapeStory #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #AddictionRecovery #redemptionstory Connect with Luis Espinoza on his instagram pages: @theknowledgegod @badshapeltd @saintsandsinnerstattoostudio Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & Childhood Overview 02:00 Growing Up Through Chaos 12:00 Early Influences & Life Lessons 21:00 Teen Years 29:00 First Brush With the Law & Probation 36:00 Life Spirals 47:00 Adulthood: Fatherhood & Setbacks 01:00:00 Escalating Trouble & Prison Time 01:14:00 The Infamous Prison Escape 01:27:00 Consequences: Administrative Segregation 01:38:00 New Bonds & Prison Politics 01:47:00 Transformation & Preparing for Release 01:56:00 Back To Freedom & Life After Prison 02:03:00 Family Tragedy & Turning Point 02:07:00 Redemption, Routine & Reflection 02:10:00 Advice for the Next Generation & Closing Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I'm joined by Zach Morris for a thoughtful conversation about the challenges of parenting neurodivergent teens who are approaching adulthood. We dig into a listener question about an almost-18-year-old who's still really struggling, despite years of support. Zach and I explore the pressures parents face, the grief that can come up, how to hold boundaries with empathy, and why we need to rethink what success and failure actually mean. We also talk about the importance of understanding each child's unique developmental timeline—and how to give ourselves and our kids space to pause, regroup, and keep going.   About Debbie: Debbie Reber, MA is a parenting activist, bestselling author, speaker, and the CEO and founder of TiLT Parenting, a resource, top-performing podcast, consultancy, and community with a focus on shifting the paradigm for parents raising and embracing neurodivergent children.

Learn more about Zach here   Things You'll Learn from This Episode Why parenting neurodivergent teens near adulthood requires extra patience, flexibility, and a long-view approach How societal expectations can increase stress and make it harder to trust our child's unique path Why processing grief is a necessary part of coming to terms with unmet expectations and ongoing struggles How setting and holding clear, compassionate boundaries helps support both safety and autonomy Why redefining success and failure can reduce pressure and create space for authentic growth How taking breaks, leaning on support, and staying attuned to our child's timeline can nurture long-term resilience  Resources Mentioned The Self-Driven Children with William Stixrud and Ned Johnson (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Dr. Dan Peters on The Teen Years & Preparing to Launch (Tilt Parenting Podcast) The Autistic Burnout Workbook: Your Guide to Your Personal Recovery Plan by Dr. Megan Anna Neff A Conversation with Dr. Megan Anna Neff About Autistic Burnout (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking about something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: how older kids and adult children experience and process divorce. Whether they're in high school, college, or fully grown, your children still need you to show up as a parent. Today, I'm joined by the one and only Christina McGhee to unpack the complexities of divorcing when your kids aren't little anymore. In this episode we dig into why older kids are so often overlooked during divorce, what happens when they start naming the dysfunction you shielded them from, and how to support them without spiraling into guilt or defensiveness. Together, we explore how to navigate these pivotal moments with intention, compassion, and a deep respect for your child's experience. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: Why we sometimes overlook the needs of our older children during divorce (3:57) Advice and insights for parents of adult children navigating guilt over past family toxicity (21:52) Supporting adult children as they come to terms with the divorce and their childhood experiences (22:34) What to do when kids align with the abusive parent and you feel them slipping away (27:25) How to validate your child's experience without lying or vilifying the other parent (28:38) Learn more about Christina McGhee: Christina McGhee, MSW, is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author of the critically acclaimed book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids and the founder of divorceandchildren.com. Christina adamantly believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. While it is undeniably hard, with the right kind of information and support, she feels parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource when families change. Currently, she maintains a select coaching practice and runs a The Co-Parenting Specialist Certification Training Program that teaches divorce professionals how to keep kids in the center, not the middle, when parents part. She also continues to serves as the Education and Training Director for The SPLIT Outreach Project, a non-profit organization responsible for two unique and deeply moving documentaries, SPLIT: The EARLY Years and Split UP: the TEEN Years. These films offer a eye-opening look at how divorce impacts children's lives over time. Whether training, coaching or creating programs, Christina is passionate about disrupting the status quo, changing divorce for the better, and keeping the focus where it belongs… on kids. She has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, NBC News, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine. Christina and her husband live outside Houston, Texas, and are the proud parents of four "adultish" children (two bonus, two bio.) When she's not busy restoring order to the universe, Christina spends her time taking in sunsets, searching for the perfect cup of coffee, and ordering more books than she can read.

GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   Academics is often what brings many families to homeschooling. But then, we realize that so much else is important in our parenting and the home education years. One topic that keeps coming up lately, even in conversations with my grown children, is the balance between rules and relationship with parents and children. And we can easily default to focusing on one over the other. But, in raising our children and reading tons of books, along with the guidance in Scripture, James and I have worked hard to find that balance. Today's episode scratches the surface of this topic and I hope that it is an encouragement for you to lean in to where God is calling you to make adjustments in parenting your homeschool children. ♥ Leigh   RECEIVE LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE UPDATES: https://littlebylittlehomeschoolconference.subscribemenow.com/   LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE INFO:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 10.
