Mastering Parenting Teenagers with Confidence & Connection
Stop nagging and start connecting. The Positively Healthy Mom is the essential resource for moms of teens and preteens who want to navigate the "messy middle" of adolescence without losing themselves. Hosted by Teen & Young Adult Well-Being Coach Laura Ollinger, this podcast is built on a singular truth: a healthy, regulated mother is the secret to a thriving home.
Do you find yourself asking:
- How do I connect with my teen without them shutting down or exploding?
- How do I support my teen’s mental health and anxiety without making it worse?
- What do I need to know about the teen brain to communicate better?
Every Wednesday, Laura brings you deep-dive conversations with neuroscientists, child therapists, coaches and academic strategists to provide real-time answers to the complex issues families face today.
What We Solve Together:
- Teen Mental Health & Resilience: Research-backed strategies for raising resilient teenagers in high-pressure school and sports environments.
- Neurobiology & Positive Parenting: Understanding the teen brain to move from a relationship of control to one of deep, lasting connection.
- Maternal Well-Being & Burnout Recovery: Tactical time management and emotional regulation tools (EFT, HeartMath, and breathwork) to help you reclaim your identity.
- Digital Wellness: Navigating social media boundaries, cell phone contracts, and screen time.
- College & Academic Strategy: Expert insights on college admissions and academic pressure.
