Joyful Courage Podcast

for parenting teens

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.

This is a weekly show that is designed to entertain and inform as I tease apart all there is to learn on the parenting journey. My solo shows and expert guests interviews are packed full of useful nuggets for parents to take away and integrate into their own experience.

Episode 583

Eps 583: Positive Discipline for Teens Part 7 – Are your issues getting in your way?

In this episode, I wrap up the Positive Discipline for Teenagers book series with a deep dive into our unresolved teen issues—and how they sneak into our parenting. I reflect on my own experiences and share powerful tools to support healing, self-awareness, and courageous parenting. If you’ve ever wondered why certain challenges with your teen hit so hard, this conversation will help. I’m inviting you to shift from reactive to reflective, from fearful to courageous. Tune in to gain clarity, connection, and practical steps forward in your parenting journey.

“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
