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!

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.

If you’ve ever felt like summer brings out a whole new level of tension or disconnection between you and your teenage daughter, you are not alone. So many moms of teens feel like they walk into summer unprepared—and then spend the whole break reacting instead of enjoying it.
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.

You know just how real things can get—especially when it feels like you and your teenage daughter are speaking two different languages. Maybe she’s ultra sensitive and you’re more direct. Or she wants all the details and you just want to get to the point. Maybe she’s outgoing, full of drama and expression, while you recharge with peace and quiet.
Today, we're going to talk about navigating different personalities to create close bonds with your teen daughters—even when those personalities seem to clash. And if you’ve got more than one daughter, oh girl, you know the challenge multiplies. One size does not fit all. But here’s the good news: it’s possible to grow close even when you’re completely different.

Mom of teen girl,We are talking about tips to create lasting relationships with your teenage daughter AND ways you can take care of you in the season of raising her full of JOY! Special Guest: Lilly Brodbeck "Living in Southern California as a wife and empty nester, I navigate the world of finance by day. But my true passion lies in people! As a ministry leader and the writer/author of the "Joy in Every Season" devotional, I love connecting with women over coffee to explore their purpose, passion, and potential in Christ. People are definitely my jam!"You can find Lilly and her journal and devotional on Instagram.
Are you looking for a supportive mom community?
The common thing I ask the moms I work with to be most valuable is having a community with other moms who get it. Who are in the weeds too. Moms who are also in the season of raising tween & teen girls. We need each other to vent, laugh, encourage and support on another.
If that’s you too, I have a free mom community I invite you to be a part of. You can join going to www.raisingherconfidently.com
