  • 275. "She Needs to Prioritize Getting up on Time"
    If your teen struggles to wake up, follow through, or seems totally oblivious to your family’s priorities—you’ll feel seen in this one. In this live coaching session with Kat, we dig into the frustration of having a teen who won’t just get it together… and what’s really happening beneath the surface. We unpack: Why your teen’s “irresponsible” behavior might actually be age-appropriate How well-meaning expectations can backfire (and make mornings miserable) Why it’s okay for both of you to be human and imperfect Practical ways to build better communication without constant battles If you’ve been telling yourself, “She just needs to care more / try harder / be more responsible,” this episode will shift how you see things—and bring way more peace to your mornings. ✨ Ready to parent with more clarity and calm (even when your teen’s a mess)?

  • 273. From “Us vs. Them” to “We the People”—Starting at Home
    Let’s be real—courage usually feels awful. It’s uncomfortable, risky, and it often costs us something. But if we’re not showing our kids what it looks like to stand up for truth and love people well (especially the hard ones), then we’re teaching them to stay silent. And silence is complicity. In this episode, I’m getting bold about the values we need to be modeling at home. From passive-aggressive parenting to political name-calling to the subtle ways we teach our teens to judge instead of love—we’re digging into all of it. We’ll cover: How we accuse others of being un-Christlike while doing the same ourselves What it looks like to be provoked and kind Why love isn’t a reward for good behavior—it’s a calling How to help our teens move beyond stereotypes and lead with compassion And the hard truth: You might be smarter than someone, but that doesn’t make you better If you want to raise a kid who tells the truth, loves their neighbor (yes, even that one), and doesn’t lose themselves in the noise of the world—this episode is for you. And if this message hits home, my book Mom Got Jesus Wrong, Hallelujah is packed with lessons on what real Christlike love looks like when religion, parenting, and pain collide. 👉 Preorder here and give your family a better legacy to live out.

  • 272. "Safe" Parenting
    Is your parenting actually keeping your teen safe—or just an attempt to keep you comfortable? In this episode, we unpack the hidden fears that drive so many of our rules, reactions, and routines as parents. From fear of physical harm to fear of emotional disconnection, we all create “safety systems” that can backfire—leading to control, resentment, and emotional distance. You’ll learn: The 2 main types of fear that shape parenting (and the one question that will tell you the difference) How “safe” parenting can actually feel unsafe to your teen Why overprotection and overreaction erode trust—and what builds it instead If you’ve ever said, “I just want to keep them safe,” but still feel anxious, disconnected, or constantly in conflict, this episode will give you a fresh lens—and real tools—to parent from clarity instead of fear.
