Show notes

Coming-of-age celebrations are a powerful tool to use when raising teenagers.

If you’re not sure what a coming-of-age celebration is, you are in for a treat! A coming-of-age celebration is a special occasion where you invite all of the important people in your teen's life to come together, celebrate your teen, and offer words of wisdom.

My son Noah turned 13 this past summer, and we hosted one of these celebrations. It was an incredible experience for him.

In today's episode, Jennifer Brimhall gives us 3 reasons why we should hold these coming-of-celebrations for our teens.

Do you have a teenager who is struggling, floundering, or fighting with you constantly? My older sister Sarah had a few rough years in high school. My parents worried about her a lot.

But then, Sarah found a new story - a story where she knew she was playing an important and meaningful role. She didn’t want to return to her cliché story of struggling teenager rebellion. She wanted to be and do something better.

Listen to hear how you can help your teen find and live a better story.

395: What to Do if Your Teen is Exhausting You // Andee Martineau Oct 21, 2024

Show notes

I recently taught a free masterclass all about mom rage. Toward the beginning of the class, I asked the women in attendance to share something that makes them feel angry on a regular basis. One mom shared: “Feeling rejected by my teen who wants nothing to do with me. This is not the mother-daughter relationship I envisioned.” 💔

This comment stopped my breath for a second. How painful for this mom! No wonder she feels angry about it a lot. I'm guessing she feels a lot of other things, too: sadness, despair, loneliness … I’m guessing she feels tired! Tired of the disconnection with her daughter, tired of the feelings of failure, tired of the nagging and conflict in her home.

And I'm also guessing she's not alone in all these feelings. Parenting a teenager can feel exhausting, grueling, and just plain hard!

If you can relate, today’s conversation with Andee Martineau is for you.

394: Kids and Technology: Helping Children Develop an Internal Filter // Emily Jones Oct 14, 2024

Show notes

Protecting my kids from the dangers in the online world is a high priority for me. My son is 13, and I’m still holding off giving him a phone, even though he insists he’s the only one in eighth grade who doesn’t have one.

(And I want to say here that it's okay if you have a different view on what's best for your child, so no judgment on when you decide to make a phone available to them!!)

When he does get a phone in the next year or two, he will definitely have limits and filters to help him navigate his phone safely. But unfortunately, we all know that even the most adept filters and limits aren’t foolproof. In fact, the best internet filter of all will come from Noah! The only way I can fully protect him from online danger is to help him develop his own internal filter.

My guest, Emily Jones, is a writer, speaker, author, and mother of 5. She and her husband Dave co-founded Family Tech University, which is a movement dedicated to helping parents prepare their children for today's tech in new and powerful ways. Emily shares with us today how to help our kids use technology wisely as they develop their own internal filters.

392: How to Have Grace-Filled Political Conversations with Family & Friends // Sarah Stewart Holland & Beth Silvers of Pantsuit Politics Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

Are you wondering how to have political conversations with your friends and loved ones without things turning, well... hostile?

Election time is here, and the political atmosphere is so divisive that it can feel impossible to have political conversations without things getting heated.

So does this mean we just avoid talking about politics altogether? 🙊

Sarah Stewart Holland & Beth Silvers of Pantsuit Politics say, “No!”

Their book I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) has helped me so much in my personal life as I’ve learned to navigate tricky political conversations, and I’m so excited to share their three takeaways for how to have grace-filled political conversations. I hope you find it helpful as you navigate this election season!

391: Parenting a Child with ADHD: How to Stay Calm and Connected // Rachel on The Childhood Collective Sep 23, 2024

Show notes

Parenting a child with big emotions, big reactions, and a neurodiverse brain can be a real challenge. 🫠

I know this firsthand because my son Noah has always been spicy and spirited, and he was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of 5th grade. His formal diagnosis has been a huge blessing for our family, as it has given us a way to research ways to support him and to help him understand his own unique brain and body.

One of our biggest sources of education has been The Childhood Collective, a website hosted by three moms who are experts in child development. Lori and Mallory are both child psychologists, and Katie is a speech-language pathologist. They offer incredibly helpful online courses, social media content, and a podcast called Shining with ADHD.

I was honored to be a guest on their podcast earlier this year, talking about what I have learned in my journey as the parent of a child with ADHD, and they graciously allowed me to re-air the audio from that interview here on 3 in 30.

390: Living with Grief without Losing Yourself // Shelby Quinlan Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

Living with grief can feel heavy, dark, and confusing. It's a time when it's easy to lose ourselves. Grief looks different for everyone, and if you are in the middle of grieving, my heart aches for you.

I have experienced loss, and I know the deep ache of grief. It's a tender topic that's close to my heart. That's why I'm honored to share Shelby Quinlan's story with you.

Shelby is a former teacher and SAM alumni. She's mom to three girls, and she and her family have been navigating their grief this past year through the loss of a beloved grandparent and also Shelby's sister.

I am so impressed with Shelby's courage to share how she's navigating living with grief while being still in the middle of it. I hope you find her story as inspiring and healing as I have.

389: I'm a Seasoned Mom. Is SAM for me? // Wanda Opitz, SAM Alumni Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

I always get asked who my Self-Assured Motherhood program is designed for - young moms? moms with young kids? stay-at-home moms? My answer is always emphatically: it’s designed for all moms!

SAM is for all mothers - all ages, all stages, all walks of life. In fact, I often have the women in my program tell me it should be called Self-Assured Womanhood or Self-Assured Personhood because the principles apply so universally. (However, the acronym SAW and SAP don’t have quite the same ring as SAM. Don’t you agree? 😆)

If you’ve been asking yourself if SAM is a good fit for you, you will love my interview with SAM alumni Wanda Opitz.
