  • Your Teenager Isn’t the Only One Growing

    The deep dive conversations on this show have at least one common thread running through them: our teenagers aren’t the only ones that are growing. Loving them well will require us to mature in our self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-expression. Highly recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to raise teenagers thoughtfully and bravely.

  • Best podcast!!

    This has helped me so much, to be a better parent. To let go more and to be more forgiving of myself and my teens. It is so helpful and honest. Heather knows her stuff!

  • Exceptional parenting help

    I have loved listening to this podcast. Heather covers a broad variety of topics that any and every parent can benefit from. Great guests, thought provoking and insightful questions and commentary. Highly recommend! Completely changed the ways I viewed and approached my role as a father to my kids. And everyone, myself included, has been better off for it.

  • Relationship gold

    EVERY single relationship in my life got better when I started listening to Heather! Her content is so relatable and makes you feel so “seen”. She has a gentle approach which struggling parents will appreciate but she is genius at helping you see how to shift perspectives and ultimately feel and act from a place of more personal peace and power. It translates into helpful insights for every relationship not just your kids.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

309. How to Stay Connected When Your Teen Triggers you, with Dr. Kelly Flanagan, PhD
Q: Dr. Flanagan, what is the practical first step parents can take when they feel themselves closing off during a triggering moment?
The practical first step is to cultivate calm in the body as a precursor to any difficult conversation; you slow down, notice the body's state, and use interoception to recognize when you're about to close, which creates the emotional bandwidth to respond instead of react.
292. Help! My Teen Is Using and I Don't Know What to Do, with Brenda Zane
Q: What do parents that come into your program typically come to you to solve for?
I would say the number one thing is boundaries. How do I, how do I, I have a 15 year old or 17 year old who lives with me and we have a rule in our house that there's no smoking weed in the house.
292. Help! My Teen Is Using and I Don't Know What to Do, with Brenda Zane
Q: What would you say to parents who feel like they've already severed the relationship?
I would say, first of all, take a huge deep breath and start taking care of yourself.
282. Power Moms and Daughters, with Aubin Palmer
Q: What is the first step between now and when parents get their book?
Separating emotions in relationships, understanding that parents are not responsible for their children's emotions is crucial.
276. "How Do I Help Her Launch?"
Q: What is the scariest thing for you when you think about her moving far away?
Cora worries about her daughter not being honest and making good choices while away at college.
