Does every conversation with your teen end in an argument?

Let’s change that!

Your teen’s selfie game is strong. Let’s work on their respect game too.

Does this sound familiar?

Is the disrespect out of control?

The eye rolls, sarcasm, and attitude are constant. Sure, you know some of this is “normal,” but this?! It’s next level. Being asked to do the dishes shouldn’t end in a screaming match but somehow, it always does.

Do they barely talk to you anymore?

Remember when they used to tell you everything? Maybe you even thought, “does this kid ever stop talking?”. But now? it’s one-word answers, closed doors, and endless scrolling on their phone. You’re not even sure how to reach them anymore and some days, it feels like you barely know who they are.

Do you feel like you’re always the “Bad Guy”?

You don’t want to nag, yell, or lay down the law 24/7 - but how else are you supposed to get through to them? You’re stuck between being too strict or letting everything slide. This isn’t how it was supposed to be. Heck, you even thought, "I’m not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom!" (At the very least, you didn’t think you’d end up as the villain in your own house.)

Have you tried everything…and NOTHING works??

Seriously. Literally. Everything. The books…the advice…taking their phone…grounding…yelling…being nice…! But nothing changes. You’re frustrated, exhausted, and completely stuck.

Do you just really miss your teen?

In the end, you just really miss them. The version of them who talked to you, laughed with you, and actually wanted to be around you. And maybe - just maybe - you miss yourself too. The person you were before the constant battles, the exhaustion, and the second guessing. You just want to feel like you again.

Does EVERY conversation turn into an argument?

No matter what you say, it feels like your teen pushes back, shuts down, or storms off. Even the simplest conversations turn into full-blown battles. You just want one normal conversation that doesn’t end in eye rolls, slammed doors, or silence.

Now, imagine that…

They just said, ‘Okay, Mom’!

Conversations no longer end in yelling or silence. Instead of fights, frustration or passive-aggressive sighs, you and your teen could talk - and they listen without acting like you just ruined their life.

Your teen listens and talks to you!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

There is no more sarcasm, defiance, or feeling unappreciated. Instead, your teen actually listens, respects your rules, and actually follows them!

Your teen respects and appreciates you!

Peace at home - is NOT a luxury

No longer walking on eggshells or bracing for the next meltdown. Instead, you actually enjoy time with your teen, and you have a solid relationship with them as they head into adulthood.

Your home is peaceful, and you both enjoy being there!

Team on Three!

The distance between you and your teen no longer feels so impossible. They know you’re on their side - someone they can trust, confide in, and seek out advice from.

You and your teen are a solid team and enjoy each other!

You no longer feel alone

You have support, friendships, and community, with backup, not judgement. You can vent, laugh, cry, and be connected with moms who are where you are in life and who totally get it.

You belong here, we’ve been waiting for you!

This isn’t just wishful thinking…It’s Possible!

Hi! I’m Rachael!

Your new best friend - who just happens to be a PhD (abd) specializing in teens.

Think of me as the friend you’d invite over for coffee when parenting feels like its giving lemons. Because let’s face it - raising teens sometimes sucks … ahem … is challenging.

I would know - I have raised three and built my career on helping parents understand their teens and make life easier for everyone.

At Teen Parent Coach, I create a supportive, judgment-free, faith-friendly space where you’ll find real strategies, encouragement, and a community that gets it. Parenting a teen doesn’t have to feel like a solo sport - grab your drink of choice and let’s figure it out together.
