Middle Years with Bridget KerMorris

What's This Podcast
About?

The middle school years look like the years your kid pulls away from you. What nobody says out loud is that parents quietly start pulling away too. This is not because parents (or kids) stop caring. For parents, it's because the stakes feel higher, the rejection hits deeper, and so we start editing ourselves. We stop saying the true thing. We manage, we worry, and we hold onto what we want to say, waiting for a better moment that never comes. This is the podcast where we stop waiting. Each week, Bridget KerMorris answers a real question from a real middle school parent, submitted anonymously from her coaching community, using Steady + Connected Parenting™, the only parenting framework built specifically for the middle school years.  This is real moments with real families and at the end of every episode, one simple invitation: say what is true for you. Say it to the person who needs to hear it most . . . while the window is still open in these middle years because it will not stay wide open forever. Bridget is a Stanford-trained lawyer with thousands of hours of education and experience as a marriage and family therapist specializing in family systems, neurodivergence, and relational trauma. She is also a mom of seven currently parenting her fourth middle schooler. She has an Instagram page, @bridget.parentcoach, with over 100k parents where she posts daily helping middle school parents "say what's true for you."
