The Joyful Courage podcast is inspirational, helpful, and practical. I was referred to Casey’s podcast by another parent coach who told me that she (Casey) really gets connecting with teens. This is what I have needed and need. I am 43 and a single mom (widow) to 3 teens. The struggle is real. I listen to many of these episodes and they give me hope and often doable action steps. I also started coaching with Casey and that has been incredible. Definitely check out this podcast- especially if you want to connect with not only your teens but yourself and really any relationship. I especially appreciate that as a current widow I have listened to episodes that talk about partners and relationships and those specific episodes still give gems and insights of how to connect to my kids. I look forward to the next episode!

Having Casey’s voice to guide me through parenting my teen is such a blessing. She is real and speaks from the heart. She gives practical, tactical support and advice to ensure I feel less alone on the parenting journey.

Casey shows up every week in the sticky muck of raising teens. For me, I believe in positive discipline but struggle to get there. She takes my progress in fits and starts down the path of positive discipline and keeps me striving for a positive relationship with my son. Thank you Casey

Casey is a breath of fresh air for me when it comes to parenting my teenagers - I find her demeanor to be relatable and also so confidently kind and helpful. She has a way of being so authentic and I love that she will often model what the language might sound like when actually talking to your teens. I get something out of every show and appreciate her ways of helping me see what it looks and sounds like to prioritize the relationship with my teens. I think it also helps that she is in the trenches, just like the rest of us! So grateful for all that Casey shares and that this podcast is available to help me along the way. Thank you!

Joyful Courage has quickly become one of my favorite parenting podcasts. I was struggling with a teen who was struggling. Casey breaks down so many topics into bite sized pieces making it less overwhelming for someone in crisis. It seems like whatever she says resonates with me the first time. I love how Casey presents herself as authentic, compassionate, real, and optimistic. I love her energy and humor, it's contagious. I love that she has the ability to articulate analogies that make listening and learning enjoyable for each and every episode. No judgement on her part either. Lastly, I love how she often gives a script to help with having these difficult conversations with our teens while maintaining connection. I find myself opening notes on my phone & quickly typing up a script that I try to memorize so that I don't fumble so much when a situation presents itself. My only question is, why does Apple Podcasts rate this podcast as explicit!!??

Recently I’ve been struggling with my stepson (16). He’s not focused in school, not cleaning up around the house, just not being the responsible kid that I know he can be. However, I’ve learned (through experience) that nagging, yelling, etc only lead to short term resolutions with him and I really want to look back on this time and not constantly be reminded by how chaotic it was. I’ve been working on being more intentional when talking to him about life (not just do this - clean that) and I know there’s a part of him that’s listening and wants to grow up. I’m so thankful for this podcast because it helps to not feel alone and think that your child (of all the children in the world) is the only one stumbling through life. I’ve been sending his Mom some of the episodes that resonate and she’s on board with changing our strategy. We’re going to focus on rebuilding our relationship with him and see what sticks. Hopefully my next review is us making progress. Thank you

I’m a loyal listener and supporter of Casey’s work. Being a teacher, elementary school counselor and parent to three teens, I wear many different hats where what I learn from listening to Joyful Courage comes into play - daily. I am so grateful to have this resource and am constantly sharing it with friends, other parents and even my own teens. Thank you Casey!

I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Every time I listen I learn something new and something I want to put in practice with teen. Thank you for continuing to share every week Casey!

Casey has continued to show up and be real. Every time I listen to her I feel seen. She truly walks this crazy world of parenting alongside of us. This podcast reminded me that what I am doing is new and hard but so worth it.

This podcast series has completely transformed the way I connect with my girls and engage them in life! What has resonated the most is how looking inward and reflecting on my intention and growth directly impacts the way I show up in relationship with my kids. Thank you so much for bringing this to us, it has been such a gift! Alli Northfield, MN

This podcast has literally saved my life a few times. I feel like Casey has been a partner alongside me when I’ve been navigating all the challenging teenage issues during these last few years, Casey has also been there to celebrate the wins. she’s an amazing human who has definitely taught me more than I though possible and and has given me endless parenting tools for my arsenals. She brings on wonderful guests and specialists and her solo shows I feel are talking directly to me, I cannot recommend this podcast enough.

Do you have a challenging teen and all your parenting tactics aren’t working? Well Casey is here to save your day and teach a different approach. I have been listening to Casey for 2 years now and have joined her membership this year (so supportive!). My relationship with my teen has completely changed and we have developed a closeness that I never thought possible since I started the positive discipline technique . I totally recommend this podcast!

Casey is a life saver if you have teen!

Every time I listen to an episode of Joyful Parenting podcast I feel like I grow a deeper understanding of myself and my child. As a woman of color this series still resonates with me and the intention I have with my parenting style. I am so grateful I came across this podcast, I will always look to it for guidance on my parenting journey.

Casey’s podcasts have given me a framework to parent my teens that really resonates with me. My relationship with my teens has improved immensely because of her encouragement and expertise.

Casey always brings a real voice & perspective which is refreshing in the world of parenting content. Love the solo episodes and guests are always on point with interesting topics. The episode on rites of passage is so important- I’m passing it along to my own community of parents. Thanks Casey!!!

I am in the middle of DBT with my daughter and it has made a huge difference. However, I feel like this podcast is giving me more skills and insight into application. It is the missing piece I needed to learn to apply to parenting these crazy teen years. I felt like I was under water and this podcast is my first time catching a breath. I wish I had this a year ago so I could have navigated the rough waters without feeling so guilty, overwhelmed and exhausted. Even if you are not in the middle of something, listen to this podcast! It will make a huge difference in how you show up for your kids.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the work Casey does educating us on how to embrace our parenting journey. She is the teacher and the student. Every podcast is like she is speaking directly to me. A better relationship with our kids is possible and the wisdom Casey drops in her solo shows or when she brings a guest always makes me feel seen. This podcast has taught me to love the parenting process, give myself grace during hard times and heal childhood traumas by becoming the parent I wanted to have. Feeling blessed ✨

Listening to Casey and Dianne have a heart to heart convo about the real life struggles parents live through helps reduce shame and offers hope! Thank you for helping share Neurofeedback with the universe ❤️

I no longer mind doing grocery shopping, blow drying my hair, folding laundry- anything time consuming - thanks to podcasts and especially Casey’s Joyful Courage podcast. As a result, I’m becoming more and more courageous around letting go of the outcome and supporting our 17 year old son in the ways he needs. I think our relationship has improved as a result of Casey’s influence. My husband says the temperature in our house has definitely lowered.

I like to go on long runs every weekend, so I listen to a lot of podcasts. Casey and Living Joyful Courage is by far my favorite parenting podcasts. Her raw honesty and calming presence in my ears makes me feel not so alone in this crazy stage of parenting teens. Casey’s advice is actionable and relatable. She shares personal stories about her own children, which I appreciate as a listener. She’s not an “expert” that is far removed from her subject area. She is in the weeds with us. Thank you Casey for sharing, you are a gift!

There’s no shame or guilty feelings here! This podcast and its host, Casey, are so real. Parenting teenagers is hard!! I feel supported and grounded every time I listen. I love the PD philosophy and am so grateful for Casey! Thank you for showing up every week to share your wisdom, real life experiences and support!! 🩷 it!!

Every time I listen to an episode this podcast has pulled me out of a frozen, fearful state of teen parenting. It gets better and more relevant every time (or maybe it’s just me that’s getting better?). I have consumed parenting/discipline books since my children were very young and it is so easy to keep moving through unhealthy cycles. Enter reality-based parenting with Joyful Courage and Positive Discipline where we are finally building the tools that we have needed to make deep and lasting changes. Serious cultural/mindset/paradigm-shifting work. So grateful for Casey’s knowledge, wisdom, and love!

Casey has a way of discussing parenting teens that is so easily accessible! I love her non-judgemental and casual style when talking with guests or about certain topics. I keep coming back to hear more and this podcast has been so helpful in raising my teenage son!

Casey gets down to the nuts and bolts, emotions and actions of parenting in our complex world. She has a soothing and spiritual approach to much of what she does that feels so good to listen to as I take walks and listen to her podcast. Highly recommend! Helpful information presented in actionable ways on how we can better parent our teens in a world fraught with competition, anxiety, and stressors!

As a GenX dad I know that my son is experiencing his teenage years much differently than I did. I am constantly looking for new ways to connect with and understand my teenage son. This podcast provides insight into joyfully dealing with the issues that are faced with parenting. Although exhausting and often frustrating, you can find Joyful Courage in parenting.

I found the podcast after taking a positive discipline class a few years ago and now my daughter is entering her teen years, and it is so nice to have a podcast with such awesome information about how to “handle”/experience/survive the teen years. Casie is so loving and welcoming and I love how she shares her own real life parenting experience to help keep it all real and to remind me that it’s all about trying my best and making myself available, but it may not always be pretty. I feel like I’m talking to a friend when I listen to the podcast. Thank you for all that you do - you really are making a difference in the world!

I discovered this podcast via a Positive Discipline FB group and it has been...dare I say, life changing. My kids are 11 and 13, and I can feel myself being a better parent to them thanks to this podcast. It has lead to some incredible interactions with my kids, and given me a mindset to lean on when I’m in a new and unexpected (or completely expected!) situations with them. It has helped me remember my role as a parent: to love them unconditionally and to accompany them on their journey to becoming healthy, functional adults, and what that accompaniment looks like (hint: it doesn’t look like control!) It helps me start each interaction with my kids with love, appreciation, respect and trust - and they can feel it and have shown it back to me. I am so happy to have discovered this at this precipice of teen-ness (and wish I had heard it earlier for my 13 year old) because I can now see mistakes I was barreling towards making, and thankfully with this wisdom I can *hopefully* avoid stepping right into them. Thank you Casey for everything you teach me!

Good show but I don’t like having to go to the website to see show notes. Please put a quick summary about what each show is about. It’s annoying that we have no idea what the show covers and if we want to find out, we have to go to the website. ****I noticed you added show notes to the latest episodes! Thank you!!!****

I’ve listened to JC for years off and on. My oldest is the age of Casey’s youngest and there have been times when I listened to some episodes repeatedly, like a meditation on letting go of control and sitting with what is. I have a closer less friction filled relationship with my kids as a result.

Joyful Courage is an amazing addition to the life of any moms and dads that want to continue growing their parenting skills. Casey is fun and engaging, relatable, honest, and skillful at relating the many challenges of parenting in this day and age. I recommend this podcast to other parents every chance I get. Five stars!

Thank you for being specific to parenting teenagers. This podcast has been so helpful. Finally a loving way to be supportive using respect.

I was so thankful to find your podcast in the last 6 months since my tween turned into a full on teen, went back to in person school and started navigating middle school for the first time as an 8th grader, since the pandemic took away the early years of middle school. He got into all kinds of ish pretty darn quick that I really wasn’t prepared for! Your podcast has been so helpful in building my toolbox as a parent of a teen. THANK YOU!

I love this podcast. Casey is so real and talks about all the topics needed for raising teens. I don’t feel so alone on this journey. It’s such a helpful reminder to connect with our kids and use Positive Discipline techniques. Thanks for all your knowledge and encouragement!

I love Casey, she is such a lovely person! She’s so genuine in her work and such a great resource! I find these podcasts helpful for me even though my kids are little. I also had the pleasure of having her as my teacher in positive discipline and I loved it!!

Casey is so down to earth and humble. She speaks to all parents and does not sugar coat how tough getting through these adolescent to young adult years is. She offers sound positive discipline tools and suggestions, and she knows it may not be natural to you. But she gives tons of refreshers and just encourages you to keep trying. Keep bridging that connection with your child. Casey has created a community of parents who can reach out to each other when things are difficult. I am a huge fan of her shows, and am very grateful to Casey for creating this podcast. Thank you for creating content that makes a difference!

Finding Casey’s podcast has been a game changer! Moving into the tween years has been a challenge and really caught me off guard. I needed this so much (still do). This podcast, Casey’s workshops, and her coaching have made a huge difference for me and my daughter. The podcast content and interviews are fantastic. Casey is genuine, caring, realistic and motivating. Highly recommend you listen to Joyful Courage!

It is the most authentic, heartfelt and honest chat about parenting. Casey is a soothing balm when I feel like I don’t know where to turn to for parenting advice. May you continue this wonderful work, Casey! . We are lucky to have your advice and support.

Casey, host of the Joyful Courage podcast, highlights all aspects of parenting, life and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

I listen to several really great parenting podcasts to help parent my toddlers. My toddlers are heading out of toddler hood and bringing new challenges. My first episode of Joyful Courage was extremely helpful and yes I can’t wait to hear more.

I just love how real Casey is!

So happy to have found this podcast! I absolutely love what Casey is putting out there. I’m only a few episodes in but already feel empowered with support and tools to keep on with this parenting thing! Maybe I’ll make it after all 😁

Casey has put a lot of care into building this community of parents and I am so grateful she covers such a wide variety of parenting topics. This podcast gives me the space I need to process and show up more for my kids! Thank you Casey!

I was have difficulty with my teen this week and got an e-mail link to episode 259 which went into detail on Positive Parenting. It was so helpful and gave me concrete things to work on.

Parenting is a process and this show is a valuable resource for candid and positive perspectives. Thank you Casey!

This podcast has been a part of my parenting work for the past few years and I am very excited to recommend it. Casey is a real mom a parent coach, a positive discipline practitioner, and an amazing human being. She interviews amazing people in the many fields that so many of us parents might need. Her shows have left me feeling supported, connected, and inspired. The community and space that Casey creates is nurturing and so so helpful.

Open, honest, raw, brave and loving!! I feel heard and understood!! Self care for parents!!!

I’m so grateful I discovered Casey and her podcast. I appreciate her honesty with her own parenting journey and all the guests she talks with. I always leave the episodes feeling motivated and inspired to work on myself and my relationships, especially to my partner and kids. Highly recommend this podcast!

This show helps me tune up my parenting and encourages me to learn and grow. It’s both practical and spiritual, and I really appreciate that.
