Parenting Teens with Presence, Tough Love, and Vulnerability with Randi Crawford
Parenting teens isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, honesty, and learning to let go.
In this conversation, Beth welcomes Randi Crawford, a straight-talking parenting coach who brings humor, vulnerability, and decades of life experience to the table. From co-founding a women’s health company with her father to becoming an empty-nester, Randi shares her journey of reinvention and what it taught her about resilience, grit, and independence.
Together, they dive into:
Why letting kids sit in discomfort is a gift (not punishment)
How to practice “tough love” without the toughness
The importance of listening without trying to fix
Modeling imperfection and apologizing as parents
Why communication is the #1 tool for building trust with teens
This episode is both refreshing and relatable—reminding us that our kids are not an extension of us, but their own people. If you’ve ever wrestled with how much to guide, when to step back, and how to stay connected through it all, this conversation is for you.
