Ep 9: Graduation Recap, how I broke trust, & then gained trust with my son Apr 27, 2024

Show notes

My son just graduated college! My friends on Instagram saw me travel to his graduation on Thursday this week, and you may remember how I've shared in the past that he chose not to participte in high school graduation (and how I eventually became ok with that) but that he dediced to indeed walk in his college graduation.

I shared a video on IG about him growing up, and the things I EXPECTED him to do that he didn't, and my growth process in all of that. Watch that video here.

I then had follow up questions from other mama's asking me, "How is your relationship now?" which I touch on here, and delve deeper into here in this podcast episode.

It's a little choppy towards the end, because as I was chatting on my porch into my voice memo (where I record these episodes) my neighbor came over to talk to me, and I had to stop. Since I had to stitch on the ending part 2 anyway, I cut that part out.

As always, I share about the benefits of Team Trusted, and how they have helped me and others on the team become a more trusted, safe space for their kids, and we'd love to have you join us.

Ep 5: Teen birthday & DRIVING! Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

Today is my daughter Cali's 15th birthday, and I share what we like to do for birthdays AND about getting her drivers permit with some stories of my experience with teaching my teens to drive.

Dropping 2 episodes today because the one I shared this morning was supposed to be shared yesterday (I recorded it then) and I want to share 7 episodes in 7 days on this kickoff week.

THEN when I announce that I've pulled out the podcast again, I'll have 7 quick episodes to listen to. I love the number 7, my birthday is 7/7, so it's just a THING with me.

If you're not feeling super connected with your teen, I'd love to invite you to join Team Trusted to become more TRUSTED by your teenager, that SAFE place they can come talk to you.

#101 Moms Words of Encouragement: Shawni Pothier May 22, 2020

Show notes

I have admired Shawni's parenting from afar as I've read her blog 71Toes.com for many years. She is just about 3 years ahead of me in this parenting gig, and I felt inspired seeing how she mothered just a few steps ahead of me.

I was so delighted to hear her words of encouragement for teens, words she hopes her kids will know before leaving the home and under her roof. She came up with a list of 5 all encompassing hopes for her kids, which I loved hearing her thoughts.

For more on my thoughts, I shared about Episode 41 of 10 things I want my kids to know.

If you are new around here, I encourage you to scroll and listen to past episode, and join the teen topic discussions on Instagram: @KristenDukeChats
