Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

The Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens Podcast is a place for inspiration, education and entertainment. You are not alone, the terrain of adolescence is messy. There are so many challenges for parents to move through - from chores, screentime, grades and sneaking out, to teen anxiety and college applications. We don't hold back here, all topics are on the table.


I am your host, Casey O'Roarty, Positive Discipline Lead Trainer and parent coach, honored to share the space with you as we examine our parenting styles and impact on our relationships with our middle school and high schoolers. I’ve been in the trenches myself and embraced the opportunities for self help that raising my own kids offered me. The podcast includes interviews and solo shows centering risky behavior such as substance use and sexual development, as well as convos that deep dive into mental health and nurturing family relationships. 


If you love what you hear, leave a review! This helps others find the show. If you are looking for more, head over to my website www.besproutable.com/teens/ for more information about coaching and classes. Thank you for listening!
