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.

Our Goal-Setting Journey: Part 2 - The Life Wheel
Embark on a transformative goal-setting journey with me in the latest episode of Reframing Me! In this installment, we build on the foundational reflections from the previous episode, emphasizing the importance of SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timebound. Our initial dreams, goals, and objectives may feel vague but this raw and unfiltered vision is a crucial starting point. The focus shifts to a holistic life assessment using a life wheel, a tool employed by life coaches to identify and rectify imbalances. I will guide you through rating key life areas like Family, Social Relationships, Career, Finances, Wellness, Personal Growth, Environment, and Pleasure on a scale of 0 to 10. The goal is to understand the energy invested and satisfaction levels in each dimension. With a metaphorical pie chart in mind, the episode hints at the upcoming eight steps, promising manageable, bite-sized actions for each life area, using the life wheel strategy. The ultimate aim is to help you create a balanced, fulfilling life by setting goals aligned with your aspirations. Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes, where we will work through goal and objective setting for each area. Remember, balance isn't found; balance is created. Don't miss out on crafting the life of your dreams – start your journey to balance today!
