  • Summary

  • So many prepare us for the transition to motherhood, but no one prepares us for how hard the transition out is, and once our kids become teens, it also can feel very solitary. The issues we face with teens are often ones we need to talk about, yet feel we can't or shouldn't. Together, we can create a community of women who, faced with growing children and changing families, are relearning how to mom, and relearning who they are as women. Grounded in family communication theory, join Dr. Jennifer Brubaker to have those conversations to help you better understand this new chapter of your life. Episodes focus on both family communication with our teens and reflection and self discovery. Dr. Brubaker has her Ph.D in Communication Studies and is an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where she has taught for 17 years. Prior to UNCW, she taught at The Ohio State University, Kent State University and the University of Toledo. Originally from Ohio, Jen lives in Wilmington, NC, with her husband, three children, three dogs, cat and a menagerie of small animals. She loves spending time with her family, traveling and all things fitness, sports and wellness. Reach out with your questions, issues or experiences to begin the conversation. Or reach out to say hi and let me know you’re listening :) Join the Reframing Me: The Podcast Community Facebook group to connect with others who are looking to relearn how to parent, now that their kids are teens, and rediscover who they are as women, beyond the framework of motherhood.

    Can you believe that it's mid-2024 already!! It's time to check in on our goals and intentions for 2024 to make sure that we are on the right path to get there - and if we're not, well then it's a perfect opportunity to right our course! We set lots of goals across different areas of our life, but we all set out to connect more with our teens in 2024, so let's check in on that too, and remind ourselves of what it is we need to do so we can be our favorite version of us as we move into the second half of the year.

  • Jen is Zen - The Happiness Martyr

    Jen is Zen - The Happiness Martyr
    Jun 28 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Do you exist to make others happy? And are you ok with what you find? And if not – what are you going to do to change that?

    In this conversation, I share my journey over the last couple of years to break free from being a happiness martyr. I have come to the realization that no, I do not exist SOLELY to make others happy. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to make the people around me happy, I’ve realized that it can’t be at the expense of my own happiness. And I also can’t fill the happiness void with other things, simply because I have convinced myself that it’s the same thing.
