Your kids are growing up - but so are you. Reframing Me is the podcast for moms of teens ready to reframe family, identity, and self-development in midlife.


Parenting teens is hard -and parenting while rediscovering yourself in midlife can feel even harder. Reframing Me is the parenting podcast for moms raising teenagers who are also navigating the transition out of hands-on motherhood, identity shifts, and the search for balance, fulfillment, and self-development.


Hosted by Dr. Jennifer Brubaker, a Communication Studies professor, mom of three teens, and intrapersonal communication expert, each episode blends family communication strategies, honest conversations about parenting teens, and self-reflection tools to help moms strengthen family relationships while rediscovering who they are as women.


Together we’ll talk about the issues moms face but don’t always say out loud: changing family dynamics, feeling invisible, letting go of control, and creating new purpose. Through research, theory, and compassionate conversation, you’ll find support, strategies, and a sense of community in this season of parenting and personal growth.


Join the Reframing Me community to connect with other midlife moms, share your stories, and reframe how you see yourself, your family, and your future.

  • Merry Twixtmas and Happy 2026!

    Happy Holidays! Merry Twixtmas! Happy 2026! I am so grateful to have you here!

    In this New Year’s episode of Reframing Me, I reflect on Twixtmas - that quiet, in-between week where time has no meaning and our perspective widens. My family’s New Year’s traditions have evolved, making me really think about what it means to grow alongside our children, to grieve what was while embracing what is, and to let traditions change without losing their meaning.

    This episode invites you to pause before rushing into resolutions and instead close out the year with intention because the New Year is a true “line in the sand” – a moment of delineation between who we were and who we are becoming. I ask you to consider what no longer serves you, what you are ready to leave behind, and what you want to consciously carry forward.

    Through reflection, honesty, and a guided metaphor of packing a suitcase for the year ahead, I encourage you to release old narratives, limiting beliefs, and roles that no longer fit. Rather than doing more, I'd love to see you step into the new year by embodying the woman you've been waiting to be – grounded, aligned, and true to yourself.

    See you in 2026!

  • Connected, Yet Isolated: The Parallel Between Teens and Midlife Moms
    Dec 17 2025

    Thank you for being here!

    This episode is an honest reflection on feeling deeply connected yet quietly alone – a place many women find themselves in during midlife and parenting the teen years. Moving between lived experience, parenting observations, and relational insight, the episode explores the surprising parallel between teen loneliness and adult invisibility in a hyper-connected world.

    Rather than offering solutions or tidy conclusions, this conversation sits inside the discomfort of being needed but unseen, productive but unmirrored, surrounded by people yet craving resonance. It reflects on how digital connection can replace depth, how identity shifts disrupt belonging, and why loneliness often shows up not as isolation, but as a lack of reflection.

  • Jen is Zen - Just Begin Again
    Dec 11 2025

    Thank you so much for being here! Today, I'd like you to think about this:

    You can begin again anytime.

    Not next week.

    Not next semester.

    Not when life “calms down” because we all know that’s never.

    Not when the kids launch or when the holidays end or when the stars realign.

    Just… begin again.

    What if beginning again is simply the next breath you take?

    The next thought you choose?

    The next decision you make without dragging your past self into it?

    YOU are the one who decides when the new chapter begins - not the calendar, not other people, not the version of you who accidentally fell into an old habit, or forgot her goals for a few weeks, or made a mistake that felt like a setback.

    You can begin again the moment you choose to.
