RAISING HER CONFIDENTLY | Connecting with Teens, Parenting Styles, Family Communication, Raising Teen Daughters
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 that oat milk latte and let’s raise her confidently together!

Hey mama, it’s summer break—which means school’s out, routines are shifting, and your teen or tween might be bouncing between boredom and hanging out with friends. While it’s great that they’re old enough to make their own plans and have a little more independence, this season also offers a unique opportunity: the chance to really connect with your daughter.
So in today’s episode, I want to share 4 unique, family-friendly summer activities that go beyond the usual movie night or beach trip. These are creative, memory-making ideas that can bring some laughter, teamwork, and even a little bonding back into your home this summer.

Why does my teenage daughter shut down when she's in trouble? You try to talk to her, correct her, or hold her accountable, and instead of a respectful conversation, you get silence, an eye roll, or worse—a door slammed in your face.
Let me reassure you: You’re not alone, mom of teen girl. And more importantly, there’s a reason behind her shutdown—and it’s not just defiance. Today, we’ll explore 5 research-backed reasons why your daughter emotionally checks out when she's in trouble and 3 ways you can bridge the gap and get through to her heart.

Today we’re talking about a tricky — and honestly, frustrating — part of raising tween and teen girls: sneakiness.
Whether it’s sneaking the phone into their room after lights out, lying about where they’re going, or creating secret social media accounts — you’re not alone if you’ve caught your daughter bending the rules or working around your boundaries.
Before you react with frustration, shame, or punishment, let’s talk about what’s really going on. And more importantly, how you can respond with calm, connection, and clarity — instead of chaos.

“Am I the only one going through this?”
Have you ever thought that?
Maybe you’ve wondered if other moms are struggling to connect with their teen daughter. Maybe you’ve questioned if you messed something up along the way—if you were too strict, too soft, too emotional, too busy. Or maybe, you’re just plain exhausted and unsure who to even talk to about what you're facing at home.
Today we’re diving into a conversation I think we need more of. Because the truth is, you’re not the only one going through this—but it can feel like you are when you’re doing it alone.

Today’s episode is here to change that. We’re going to talk about how to prepare for summer break in a way that avoids major blowups, constant misunderstandings, and that classic “I don’t need to do anything—it’s summer!” attitude from your teen girl.

Today, I want to speak to the mom who has a daughter that seems totally fine chatting about school drama, friends, and what happened in science class—but clams up the second you ask her how she's really doing.
You’re not alone. I hear this often from moms of tween and teen girls—“She’ll tell me all about her friends' problems, but when I ask how she’s feeling or what's going on inside her own heart, it’s like pulling teeth.”
And if you're being honest, maybe you’ve started to wonder... “Why won’t she talk to me? Is she scared? Am I doing something wrong?”
Let’s talk about it.
