Tietoa podcastista
Parenting Through the Hard is a podcast for parents walking through the toughest seasons with their teens or adult children. Whether you’re facing crisis, unexpected choices, or the heavy weight of uncertainty, this space is for you.
I’m Angie, a mom who has lived through the worry, heartbreak, and messy middle of raising older kids. I’m not an expert, but I share what I’ve learned in hopes that you’ll feel less alone in your journey.
Each episode offers honest, grace-filled conversations about loving your child without losing yourself, holding compassion and boundaries together, and keeping faith steady when the future feels uncertain.
