This week we’re thankful to welcome the incomparable Britney Dent to the studio! Britney is a powerhouse of wisdom, compassion, and community leadership — and honestly, we could’ve talked with her for hours.

Britney holds a B.A. from UNC Greensboro and is a certified Life Coach for parents and teens. She’s a Hands On Northwest & Wake Forest Women’s Emerging Leaders graduate, a City of Winston-Salem University alum, and a United Way Women United Transformational Leader. With a decade of experience in the public school system, years in the nonprofit sector, and features across multiple media outlets, Britney is a voice you want in your corner.

She currently serves on the board of Triad Restorative Justice and as Program Director at LEAD Girls of NC, volunteers with organizations across the community, and somehow still finds time to enjoy reading, watching Jeopardy, and beating her family at board games.

In this conversation, we dive into:

✨ Her experience as a mom — especially parenting teenagers (blink and we’ll be there, too)
✨ Grounded, practical advice for navigating the teen years with connection and grace
✨ Her “260 Movement” and how it encourages intentionality in spending time with our kids
✨ Digital safety and how to equip—not scare— our children
✨ Her published book and the many impactful paths her career has taken (this woman stays busy)
✨ And so much more wisdom we’re still unpacking

Britney brings truth, directness, and a refreshing sense of empowerment to every topic she touches. Whether you’re parenting teens, working with young people, or simply trying to be a more present adult in a child’s life, this episode is a gift.

🎧 Tune in for an episode full of heart, honesty, and hope — and walk away feeling like you can absolutely do this.
