RAISING HER CONFIDENTLY | Parenting Teens, How to Talk to Teens, Family Communication, Raising Teen Girls
Do you want to have open communication with your teen daughter? Do you find yourself up late at night constantly thinking about how to talk to your teen or why she’s not opening up to you? Do you wake up with confident intentions only to feel confused and frustrated when you get 1-word answers from your daughter or instead of the deep conversations you hoped to have, you end up in a yelling match? Hi, I’m Jeannie. I think back to when I was 13. I was that teenage girl you are googling about! Rebellious, hard to figure out, “hard-headed” as my mom would call me. She even said, “I don’t even know who you are anymore!” Several years later, I too found myself raising young teens. I too felt grieved by the loss of my sweet talkative little girl! I wanted her to come to me about anything even if she was scared and listen to my advice. My passion for healthy families as a former educator, a homeschooling family for several years, and a zeal to impact young teen girls has led me to train in the Coach Model and partner with moms like you and guide them to create safe, healthy relationships with their teens. In this podcast, I share tools and resources to help improve communication with your teen girl and strengthen your relationship with her. I’m providing you ways to talk to your teen through relationship-building exercises to make intentional connections, establish boundaries to create that safe space, and build a trust-worthy community of healthy friends and influence to confidently get you through this season of raising a teen girl. So grab your glass of merlot and throw off those fuzzy slippers and let’s raise her confidently together!

We're diving into our last topic for our build trust with your teenage daughter series which is a powerful way to build trust and deepen your connection with your daughter—sharing personal experiences.
We all want open communication with our girls, but sometimes they put up walls. One way to break those barriers is by letting them see that we, too, were once teenagers with our own struggles, doubts, and emotions. Sharing personal experiences, when done in the right way, can be a game-changer in how your daughter views and trusts you.
Let’s talk about why this works, what’s appropriate to share (and what’s not), and three simple tips for sharing your stories in a way that strengthens your relationship.

Moms, I know what some of you are thinking—“Respect her boundaries? What about mine? Shouldn’t she be respecting me too?” And I hear you! It’s completely valid to want respect in return, and we’ll talk about that. But today, I want to challenge you to look at trust-building from a different angle. Mark Gregston once said, "Truth with judgment pushes her away, truth with relationship draws her to you." And that’s exactly what we’re going to focus on. Building trust isn’t about giving up authority or letting her run wild—it’s about creating a relationship where she feels safe, valued, and heard. That’s the foundation that will lead to mutual respect. So, let’s work on this relationship from the inside out.

We are continuing our "Build Trust with Your Teenage Daughter" series. Today, we’re diving into a powerful but often overlooked key to trust-building: by Following Through on Promises. If you say you’ll do something—whether it’s picking her up on time, respecting her privacy, or handling a situation discreetly—stick to it. Your daughter needs to see you as reliable and dependable to truly trust you. Let’s explore why keeping promises matters, when to make them, when to hold off, and how you can set an example of integrity in your home.

Do you remember your teen years? In the teen years we start grow fickle in our relationships - especially friendships. It's a stage where they are discovery themselves, their identity, their values and who the are. This also means things change, clothes, appearances and friendships. As your teenage daughter is testing the waters of self-discovery, it can make any mama nervous when it comes to their choice of friends.
So, how can you help guide her toward healthy, life-giving friendships without pushing her away? And what exactly makes a good friend? That’s what we’re unpacking today.

Moms, have you noticed your daughter becoming more self-conscious, comparing herself to others, or struggling with self-esteem? You’re not alone.
