Today’s episode is a little different—an honest chat about something we’re both knee-deep in right now: parenting teen girls.

We’re not here to talk about business or design today. Nope, this one’s for the parents who are in the trenches, trying to figure out what happened to their sweet, chatty children who suddenly seem like strangers. 

In this episode, we get real about the struggle to stay connected with our children as they pull away to become their own people. We talk about the delicate dance between giving them independence and trying to hold onto those precious moments where they still need us. And let’s not forget the minefield that is social media—how do we protect our kids without turning into the “uncool” parents? We’ve got some thoughts on that, too.

And yes, we’re sharing a few laughs along the way because, let’s be honest, sometimes all you can do is laugh at the chaos.

But this isn’t just about our stories—it’s about creating a space where we can all share the challenges and victories of parenting through these tricky years. So, if you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I the only one who feels like they’re winging it?”—you’re not. We’re right there with you, figuring it out as we go.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know we’re all about keeping it real. So if you’re in the trenches of parenting a preteen or just want to hear how we’re navigating this crazy stage of life, this episode is for you. We’re all in this together, and we’re here to remind you that, no matter how tough it gets, you’re not alone.

Join us as we dive into the unfiltered reality of raising teen girls. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts and experiences too—let’s keep the conversation going.

Tune in to hear about the chaos, the confusion, and the small victories that come with raising girls on the cusp of their teenage years.
