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.

Thank you so much for listening! I'm so happy you're here!
Most people spend more time thinking about what they don’t want than thinking about what they do want.
The overall narrative to focus on what we don’t want – avoiding the bad – or thinking in terms of the negative – quite often overshadows what we do want. And that tends to create a vacuum in our present because we don’t really find ourselves with anything to hold on to. And focusing on what we don’t want can actually end up directing us down the wrong path.
Where our attention goes, energy flows.
This fear-based thinking about the things that we don’t want to have happen actually end up leaving us little space to create the life we want.
But what about what you are trying to move towards? What you want to achieve? What you want to manifest? We can’t attain any of that if we’re stuck on what we DON’T want.
What would happen if you let yourself want?
