8. Love The Phase You're In: Derek and Jamie Phelps

For the first time ever on the show, I got to sit down with a married couple, Jamie and Derek Phelps. The ex-Austinites tell us what motivated them to move to Colorado to parent their now 5 ½ year old son. We discuss the struggles of managing fight or flight when our kids yell at us, and how a little perspective can help you love the phase of parenthood you’re in, no matter how frustrating it can sometimes be. Derek is a comedian known for having a sense of humor drier than a Texas summer, so grab a tall glass of iced tea and enjoy the show. As always, thank you for listening!

5. Fear, Failure & Parenting Teens: Kelly Kent

You’re listening to Juggling Joy, a podcast for parents who know... the juggle is real. I’m your host Karen Jane DeWitt and in this episode I got to sit down with Kelly Kent, a mom of 4 teenagers. I love this interview because as a mom of a kindergartener and a toddler, I got to hear the wisdom of someone who’s ahead of me on their parenting journey. She talks about what led to a sharp turn in her relationship with her eldest daughter, the impact of fear on their relationship, and what she would do differently if she had to do it all over again. Stick around to the end for a bonus two-minute interview with my five AND A HALF year old son, who tells me what it’ll be like to be a teenager. Just a warning before we get started, this episode has mentions of eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide.
