Welcome, friend! I am so happy you have found your way here. My name is Casey O’Roarty, and I am the host of the Joyful Courage Parenting Podcast.

Eps 675: When Teen Grades Start Slipping

It's that time of year... The grade portal shows a pile of missing assignments, and taking the phone away feels like the only leverage you have. In this solo show I start in that moment with a teen who's behind in school, then work outward through the intentional ecosystem. We look at how your house runs and how connected you and your teen are, then at what you make those grades mean. I cover mistaken goals, executive functioning, natural consequences, and when to get help.

“Love, love, love Casey! She is so fresh, fun, and real. Always practical strategies to come away with from every episode. And she lands some pretty amazing guests!!!”

- Lisa P., parent

"Casey is engaging, fun and inspiring. The topics are current and helpful. I love to listening to this podcast during my commute. It reminds me I am not alone, parenting can be sticky and I have support and company while I navigate my imperfect life.”

- Marcie C., parent

“Casey is warm and relatable. She utilizes both her training in Positive Discipline and her experience as a mother to explain ways to approach parenting (and all relationships) in a kind and firm way. She fills her podcasts with useful tools to be a more mindful parent, lots of encouragement, and the opportunity to learn from both her and a wide variety of interesting guests. This podcast is a gem!”

- Allison M., parent

“I LOVE this podcast! Casey is warm, funny, and vulnerable. She is not afraid to talk about how messy and scary parenting can be, which is so powerful to hear as a parent in a culture that says we should all be doing it “perfectly.”

- Tams W., parent
