RAISING HER CONFIDENTLY | Connecting with Teens, Parenting Styles, Family Communication, Raising Teen Daughters
Jeannie Baldomero | Parenting Teens Coach Inspired by Brene Brown, Mark Gregston, Gary Chapman
Do you want to have open communication with your teen daughter? Do you find yourself up late at night constantly thinking about how to talk to your teen or why she’s not opening up to you? Do you wake up with confident intentions only to feel confused and frustrated when you get 1-word answers from your daughter or instead of the deep conversations you hoped to have, you end up in a yelling match?
Hi, I’m Jeannie. I think back to when I was 13. I was that teenage girl you are googling about! Rebellious, hard to figure out, “hard-headed” as my mom would call me. She even said, “I don’t even know who you are anymore!”
Several years later, I too found myself raising young teens. I too felt grieved by the loss of my sweet talkative little girl! I wanted her to come to me about anything even if she was scared and listen to my advice.
My passion for healthy families as a former educator, a homeschooling family for several years, and a zeal to impact young teen girls has led me to train in the Coach Model and partner with moms like you and guide them to create safe, healthy relationships with their teens.
In this podcast, I share tools and resources to help improve communication with your teen girl and strengthen your relationship with her. I’m providing you ways to talk to your teen through relationship-building exercises to make intentional connections, establish boundaries to create that safe space, and build a trust-worthy community of healthy friends and influence to confidently get you through this season of raising a teen girl.
So grab that oat milk latte and let’s raise her confidently together!

285\\ Growing Gratitude: 4 Ways to Practice Thankfulness with Your Daughter
It’s so easy to get caught up in the chaos of life — the schedules, the moods, the constant running around — that we forget to pause and simply say thank you. But gratitude isn’t just a seasonal thing; it’s a way to reframe how we see our lives and how our daughters see theirs.
When we model gratitude, our girls learn that thankfulness doesn’t depend on everything going right — it grows from recognizing what’s already good and meaningful, right where we are.
So today, I want to share four ways you and your daughter can practice gratitude together — especially this Thanksgiving week — and watch how it strengthens your bond and shifts both your perspectives.

283\\ Strategies to Keep Your Teen Safe From Online Predators with Cyber Security Expert Tom Arnold
Confused about when to let you teen girl have a TikTok account?
Is she old enough for an Instagram account?
Are you frustrated by your teenage daughter's constant use of her phone?
Today I have cybersecurity expert Tom Arnold on with some tips on keeping your teens safe from online predators and the conversations you can have with her.
Tom Arnold (CISSP, ISSMP, CISA, CFS, GCFE-Gold, GNFA, GWEB, GBFA) is a cybersecurity expert, digital forensics investigator, and educator. He lectures on digital forensics and incident response at San Jose State University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he is also helping to develop a new digital evidence and forensics degree program. A co-founder of Payment Software Company (PSC), now part of NCC Group, Arnold has led large-scale breach investigations—some involving more than 7,000 servers—and served as lead investigator in complex threat-hunting operations. He has testified before the U.S. Senate and House on cybersecurity legislation and sits on the steering committee for the Las Vegas branch of the USSS/Cyber Fraud Task Force. He also serves as Operations Manager at Cloud 10 Studios, a full-service animation studio that creates original series, long-form content, and commercial projects.
His novel The Digital Detective: First Intervention was inspired by a real-life cybersecurity scare when Arnold’s grandson was approached by a stranger on Roblox despite parental controls. That moment launched Arnold’s mission to help families and schools recognize hidden online dangers—and to give kids the tools they need to stay safe in the digital world.

282\\ How to Change the Pattern of Non-Communication with Your Teen Daughter
Remember when your girl was little and couldn’t stop talking? She told you everything — from what her friend said at recess to how her stuffed animal “felt” about nap time. You were her go-to person for everything.
But lately… things feel different, right? Conversations have turned into one-word answers. “Fine.” “Nothing.” “I don’t know.”
You want to talk, but she seems to shut down. And now, you’re noticing that even you are starting to talk less too. Maybe you’ve fallen into this quiet rhythm of coexistence — not fighting, but not really connecting either.
Today, I want to help you change that.
We’re going to talk about why communication changes during the teen years — and I’ll give you four ways to break the pattern of non-communication and rebuild a healthy rhythm where conversations can flow again.

281\\ How Much Is Too Much? Support vs. Enabling Your Teen Daughter
How much is too much? Specifically, how do you know when you’re supporting your daughter versus when you might be enabling her?
We want our teen girls to succeed, to be happy, to avoid pain. We hate watching them struggle, and sometimes… we step in just a little too much. Maybe we finish their homework “just this once” because she’s overwhelmed. But how much is too much? I'll give you ways to find the sweet spot between supporting and enabling your teenage daughter.
