hey there,
Are you looking for a place to pause, learn and share about parenting teens and tweens?
The years when our kids are no longer little but not yet adults are as crucial as as the stages that come before. As parents, it’s important to stay engaged, keep learning, and grow alongside them.
This is a space to reflect and support one another, and discover more ease, joy, and purpose—not just in parenting, but in our own lives. Our journeys may be unique, but we don’t have to walk them alone.
podcast
Raising the Next Gen
Each episode features practical advice from experts, real-life stories from parents, teens, and tweens, and personal insights from our own family’s journey.
We’ll dive into the challenges and triumphs of modern parenting, from cultivating healthy habits and digital wellbeing to building mental resilience, fostering leadership skills, and breaking generational cycles.

Praise for Raising the Next Gen Podcast

I like how she gives personal examples and acknowledges the parenting struggle is real!

Congrats, Sonia! Looking forward to more episodes. I think a lot of us are fumbling our way through parenthood, trying to do “good” by our children – and ourselves…can’t wait to hear some of the lessions you’ve learned along the way.

Listening to the 3rd episode now! Great interview.
