Reframing Me - Self-Development & Parenting Teens for Midlife Moms

Your kids are growing up - but so are you. Reframing Me is the podcast for moms of teens ready to reframe family, identity, and self-development in midlife.

Parenting teens is hard -and parenting while rediscovering yourself in midlife can feel even harder. Reframing Me is the parenting podcast for moms raising teenagers who are also navigating the transition out of hands-on motherhood, identity shifts, and the search for balance, fulfillment, and self-development.

Hosted by Dr. Jennifer Brubaker, a Communication Studies professor, mom of three teens, and intrapersonal communication expert, each episode blends family communication strategies, honest conversations about parenting teens, and self-reflection tools to help moms strengthen family relationships while rediscovering who they are as women.

Together we’ll talk about the issues moms face but don’t always say out loud: changing family dynamics, feeling invisible, letting go of control, and creating new purpose. Through research, theory, and compassionate conversation, you’ll find support, strategies, and a sense of community in this season of parenting and personal growth.

Join the Reframing Me community to connect with other midlife moms, share your stories, and reframe how you see yourself, your family, and your future.

Happy World Menopause Day - although most of us celebrate every damn day by feeling 20 degrees hotter than everyone else around them – and spending way too much time trying to remember what we were doing or thinking or saying – by having random aches and pains and itches that seem to come from nowhere – seem absolutely crazy – and then disappear – or by crying or yelling or snapping because… well you don’t even know why – the irritability and the mood swings – and tired, so very tired. So to all of you here in perimenopause or maybe menopause, good job girl, you deserve a day!! Yay on you. I thought it would be an excellent time for us to just take a moment to acknowledge us and the powerful transformations we experience during perimenopause and menopause.
