400: 3 Modern Manners for Friendship // Brooke Romney

Author: Cloud10 November 7, 2024 Duration: 15:07
Brooke Romney is the queen of modern manners for teens.  If you missed it, our last episode was an interview I did with Brooke about friendship problems in the teen years. I hope her words in that interview resonated with you like they did with me.  This episode is a little bonus addition where I asked Brooke to share three mini conversations we can have with our teens to help them get better at friendships. (Because, let’s face it, most teens need some help learning how to be a good friend! Does anyone else feel like they have a toddler again? 🥴) For full show notes, including takeaways, click here. *** Announcement:  Get $5 off Flecks of Gold Journal for the month of November! 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens Vol. 2  52 Modern Manners for Today's Kids Related Episodes:  148: Teaching Children How To Navigate Friendships // Deana Thayer and Kira Dorrian of Future Focused Parenting 399: When Your Teen Struggles with Friends // Brooke Romney 396: How to Help Your Teen Live a Better Story Episode sponsors: KiwiCo: Get up to 50% off your first crate at kiwico.com, promo code 3IN30. ***

Motherhood often feels like a constant juggling act, leaving little time for lengthy advice or complicated strategies. That’s the exact gap that 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms fills. Each episode is built on a simple, powerful premise: delivering three practical, doable takeaways within a half-hour. Host Rachel Nielson, who brings her perspective as a mother, teacher, and writer, understands that a busy parent’s brain is already full. She curates conversations and shares insights that cut straight to what’s useful, focusing on real-world application over theory. You’ll hear discussions rooted in the daily realities of family life, covering everything from educational activities for kids and navigating family dynamics to personal well-being amidst the beautiful chaos.

The tone is consistently encouraging, aiming to replace overwhelm with a sense of capability and even magic. Tuning into this podcast feels like a coffee chat with a knowledgeable friend who leaves you with clear, actionable steps-not just more noise. It’s a resource for any mom looking to gather concrete ideas for parenting, personal growth, and creating a more harmonious home, all within the span of a daily commute or a folded laundry pile.
