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.

Jen is Zen - What if it's not good?
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. You are better, stronger, and smarter than you think you are. If you are going to make assumptions about your abilities, why not assume the best?
This week, I launched my book - Reframe the Moment: Choose Your Zen. I was so excited to share it with everyone that I posted a super cute reel announcing the book, and the response was amazing! So many kind words. So much support. People liked and commented and shared – they sent me so many amazing messages – they even bought lots of copies. I was so very happy, excited, and proud of myself all day.
And then… the spiral hit.
Because now? All of a sudden I realized – ummm… People I know are going to read this. What if it's not good? But you know what? It IS good. It IS powerful. It WILL help people.
We all doubt ourselves, but we are better, stronger, and smarter than we think we are. So, if we are going to make assumptions about our abilities, why not assume the best?
