Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens
Welcome to the Joyful Courage Podcast - a place where parents of tweens and teens come to find inspiration, information and encouragement in the messy terrain of adolescence
This season of parenting is no joke - and while the details of what we are all moving through might be slightly different, we are having a collective experience.
This is a space where we center building relationship, nurturing life skills, and leaning into our own personal growth.
My name is Casey O’Roarty, I am a parent coach, Positive Discipline LEad Trainer, and captain of the adolescent ship over at Sproutable. I am also a speaker and published author. I have been working with parents and families for over 20 years and continue to navigate being a mom with my own two young adult kids.
I am honored that you are here… Please give back to the pod by sharing it with friends, or on social media, and rate and review on Apple or Spotify - work of mouth is how we grow!
Thanks - enjoy the show!
