Reframing Me
So many prepare us for the transition to motherhood, but no one prepares us for how hard the transition out is, and once our kids become teens, it also can feel very solitary. The issues we face with teens are often ones we need to talk about, yet feel we can't or shouldn't. Together, we can create a community of women who, faced with growing children and changing families, are relearning how to mom, and relearning who they are as women. Grounded in family communication theory, join Dr. Jennifer Brubaker to have those conversations to help you better understand this new chapter of your life. Episodes focus on both family communication with our teens and reflection and self discovery. Dr. Brubaker has her Ph.D in Communication Studies and is an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where she has taught for 17 years. Prior to UNCW, she taught at The Ohio State University, Kent State University and the University of Toledo. Originally from Ohio, Jen lives in Wilmington, NC, with her husband, three children, three dogs, cat and a menagerie of small animals. She loves spending time with her family, traveling and all things fitness, sports and wellness. Reach out with your questions, issues or experiences to begin the conversation. Or reach out to say hi and let me know you’re listening :) Join the Reframing Me: The Podcast Community Facebook group to connect with others who are looking to relearn how to parent, now that their kids are teens, and rediscover who they are as women, beyond the framework of motherhood.

Jen is Zen - Leave it in 2024
Thank you so much for being here! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! As we wrap up another year together and enter 2025, I want you to reflect on all that you've done this year - thank yourself for showing up for you. As you move into a new year, now's the time to leave anything behind that you don't want to carry with you. What would your future look like if you started it free? Free of your doubts, your limitations, your worries, and your fears – free of any self limiting beliefs or emotional baggage of the past and of other people’s expectations of who you should be. What if you started 2025 free? What would that look like and who would you be?
