    Eps 651: Rebuilding trust with our teens
    2026/04/21
    In this solo episode, I dig into what so many parents of teens wrestle with: rebuilding trust after your kid has hurt or scared you. I explore why hypervigilance is a trauma response and not a character flaw, the difference between earned trust and naive trust, why the body holds on even when our mind wants to move on, and how doing your own healing work matters as much as anything they do. Tender, real, and full of practical tools. Bio: Casey O'Roarty, M.Ed., is a Positive Discipline Lead Trainer, parent coach, speaker, and author of Joyful Courage: Calming the Drama and Taking Control of YOUR Parenting Journey. She's been supporting parents and families for over 20 years and hosts the Joyful Courage Podcast, where she holds space for parents of tweens and teens navigating the messy terrain of adolescence. She's the mom of two young adult kids and the captain of the adolescent ship at Be Sproutable.
