15. From Single Motherhood to Intentional Parenting: Kim Muench’s Journey of Growth

This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior.

What if the turning point in your parenting came from one of the hardest conversations you’ve ever had with your child?

In this powerful episode, Tess Connolly sits down with Kim Muench, author of Raising Me While Raising You, to talk about her journey from young single motherhood to guiding mothers of tweens and teens. Kim shares how a wake-up call from her 21-year-old son—struggling with addiction—led to her own awakening as a parent. Her story blends honesty, hope, and strategies for tackling screen time issues, behavior problems, and communication breakdowns with your kids.

• Recognize early warning signs of trouble during the teen years
• Learn how “looking back to go forward” can transform your parenting style
• Discover how to guide your teen with intention instead of controlling from above

Press play now to hear Kim’s inspiring journey and learn how to become the intentional, connected parent your tween or teen needs.
