New episode! 🎧

This week on Just a Mom, I’m joined by Hector Rodriguez for an important conversation about teen and young adult mental health.

We talk about how the adolescent brain functions during a mental health crisis, how tools like SPECT scans can provide insight, the lasting impact of the pandemic, warning signs parents should be aware of, and the role cannabis may play. Dr. Rodriguez also emphasizes the importance of parents staying regulated and building their own support systems.

An informative and empowering episode you won’t want to miss. 🎙️

New episode! 🎙️

Ryan Bevins (right) and JP Claxton (left) join The Just Mom Podcast to share the heart behind Fight Club: A movement giving teens, especially young men, a safe place to talk about what they’re really feeling.

What started as a simple response to struggling kids has grown into 29 groups (and counting), changing how young people learn to name, share, and sit with their emotions. From peer-led conversations to expanding into colleges, launching Fight Club for girls, and partnering with Kids TLC, the impact is real and growing.

This is a hopeful, honest conversation every parent and mentor needs to hear. 🤍

I sure do miss these days! 🫂

It’s so rewarding watching them grow up and become who they’re meant to be. No matter how old they are, they will always be my babies. 🩷

On this week’s Just A Mom podcast, I’m honored to welcome Jeanette Yoffe. Jeanette is a therapist, founder of The Celia Center, author, and court-appointed reunification expert.

Jeanette vulnerably shares her experience spending six and a half years in foster care and how trauma, mental health struggles, and separation shaped her life. We talk about healing through creative expression, compassion for birth parents, and the complexities of reunion and repair within families. This is a powerful, hope-filled conversation for anyone touched by foster care, adoption, or trauma.

Jeanette also shares incredible resources, including her books and a YouTube channel full of free, supportive content. 🤍

🙅 MYTH: People with mental health conditions are violent and unpredictable. ⁉️

This is a harmful misconception that can make it difficult for people with mental health struggles to ask for help. Many people with mental health challenges are just as active and productive in society as anyone else. Let’s break this stigma together. ❤️
