    # 395 Are you Parenting From Fear?
    2026/10/19
    What if the most powerful question you could ask yourself as a mom is, “What is the most courageous choice I can make right now?” Parenting teens can bring up so much fear—fear about their choices, friendships, and future. But what if instead of letting fear lead, we learned to parent with courage? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady talks with Dr. Jennifer Miller, author of Humanissance: Igniting Courage in Our Teens and Ourselves, about how courage can transform our parenting. Jennifer explains that courage isn't the absence of fear. It's the intentional choice to pause, listen to our inner wisdom, and act from our values. You'll discover why teens are naturally wired to take risks, explore their identities, and push boundaries—and how moms can encourage courage without becoming controlling or overprotective. Colleen and Jennifer also explore how to help teens move through social discomfort, stay true to themselves despite peer pressure, and build resilience through their mistakes. They discuss replacing fear-based conversations about technology with curiosity and collaboration, and why modeling courage is one of the greatest gifts we can give our teens. Jennifer, who has spent over 30 years helping families and educators support children's development, reminds us that courage is a skill we can strengthen every day—and it starts with us. 3 Key Takeaways Courage is a choice, not a feeling. Fear is a natural part of parenting, but it doesn't have to drive our decisions. Pausing to ask, “What's the courageous choice here?” helps moms respond with wisdom instead of reacting from fear. Help your teen move toward discomfort instead of avoiding it. Social anxiety, uncertainty, and risk-taking are part of adolescence. Encourage your teen to take small, courageous steps that build confidence and resilience. Model the courage you want to see in your teen. Whether it's having difficult conversations, navigating technology, or owning mistakes, your teen is watching. When moms practice courage, they teach their teens to face life's challenges with confidence and integrity. Learn More at: https://confidentparentsconfidentkids.org/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • # 394 Staying True to You

    # 394 Staying True to You
    2026/10/12
    Are you teaching your teen to be themselves—or unintentionally pressuring them to become who you think they should be? As moms, we want our teens to be confident, authentic, and true to their values. But what happens when their values clash with ours? How do we help them fit in without losing themselves? And how do we stay true to ourselves while protecting our relationship with our teens? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Patricia Hewlin, author of Staying True to You: Unlock the Power of Your Middle Self and Live with Confidence, Integrity, and Peace of Mind. Dr. Hewlin challenges the popular advice to "just be yourself" and introduces the concept of the middle self—finding a healthy balance between authenticity and conformity. She explains why being authentic isn't always helpful, why fitting in isn't always bad, and how knowing our core values helps us make wiser choices in our relationships. We explore how moms can unintentionally impose their own values on their teens, especially around achievement, friendships, college choices, and independence. Dr. Hewlin encourages moms to practice "vigilant curiosity" instead of reacting to resistance. When our teens push back, they may be protecting something deeply important to them. By asking better questions, we can discover what matters most to our teens instead of assuming we already know. You'll also learn the three essential practices for developing your middle self: introspection, discernment, and temperance. These skills help both moms and teens recognize their non-negotiables, avoid unhealthy extremes, regulate their emotions, and build relationships based on mutual respect. Instead of simply telling our teens to "be yourself," Dr. Hewlin encourages us to help them "be your empowered self." Three Key Takeaways Authenticity and conformity aren't all-or-nothing. Being true to yourself doesn't mean saying everything you think, and fitting in doesn't mean losing yourself. The middle self allows you to honor your values while respecting others. Get curious about your teen's resistance. When your teen pushes back, ask what value may feel threatened. Their need for autonomy, connection, or individuality may be different from yours. Understanding their values can transform conflict into connection. Model the middle self. Practice introspection to know your values, discernment to understand what a situation requires, and temperance to regulate your responses. When moms learn to navigate these tensions, they give their teens the tools to do the same.

  • #393 Is Anxiety Driving Your Parenting?

    #393 Is Anxiety Driving Your Parenting?
    2026/10/05
    What if the very thing you think makes you a good mom—worrying about your teen—is actually getting in the way of the relationship you want with them? In this episode, I talk with licensed professional counselor and anxiety and OCD expert Jenna Overbaugh about the difference between normal parental concern and letting anxiety take over your parenting. Jenna explains why motherhood can be the perfect breeding ground for anxiety: we worry most about what we deeply care about, feel responsible for, and ultimately cannot control. The problem comes when worry stops being constructive and starts driving our decisions. Instead of asking, “What could go wrong?” Jenna encourages moms to ask, “Is this constructive?” and focus on what they can actually do in the present moment. We also explore intrusive thoughts, rumination, and the ways anxiety can spill over into our relationships with our teens. When fear is running the show, moms may overthink, seek reassurance, micromanage, or make parenting decisions based primarily on preventing something bad from happening. Jenna offers a powerful image: imagine fear sitting at a conference table alongside your values, logic, instincts, and what you know to be true. Fear deserves a seat—but it doesn't get to run the meeting. And because our teens are watching how we respond to uncertainty, modeling a healthy relationship with anxiety can be one of the most important lessons we give them. Finally, we talk about accepting one of the hardest truths of parenting: we cannot control the outcome. We can do many things “right” and still face uncertainty, disappointment, or struggle. Instead of trying to engineer the perfect future for our teens, Jenna encourages moms to return to the present, tolerate uncertainty, and think about what will matter five years from now—not just what will relieve our anxiety in the next five minutes. Sometimes the healthiest choice is to put down the college application, the problem, or the worry and protect the relationship. Anxiety can come along for the ride, but it doesn't get to drive the bus. 3 Takeaways Ask, “Is this constructive?” Worrying and problem-solving are not the same thing. If your thoughts are simply circling the problem, come back to the present and ask what useful action you can take right now. Let fear have a voice, not the final vote. Consider your anxiety, but also listen to your values, logic, instincts, and what you know about your teen before making parenting decisions. Parent with the relationship in mind. You cannot eliminate uncertainty or guarantee your teen's future. Think beyond what will ease your anxiety for the next five minutes and choose what supports you, your teen, and your relationship for the next five years.
