What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey there, it's Debbie and welcome to Playback Friday. Every Friday, I'll re-release one of my favorite conversations from the archives. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one yet. And even if you have, you just may get something completely different listening to it this time around.
You know, we can't control the events and experiences that happen in our life. You know, we can't control who it is that we get to raise and to love and to nurture. How we respond to those things is where our influence lies.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. My name is Debbie Reber, and I'm the host of this show. And today I'm bringing back to the podcast a guest who just has so much goodness to offer our community. Casey O'Rourke, a positive discipline trainer and parent coach, author and host of the Joyful Courage podcast. Casey is just about to publish her first book, a passion project called Joyful Courage, calming the drama and taking control of your parenting journey, which I had the chance to read in advance. And I absolutely loved how accessible and tangible and real it is. As you'll hear in our conversation, Casey has insights and strategies that are so helpful for parents raising challenging kids and paints a realistic and doable picture of how we can truly calm the drama happening in our families and find more peace in the day to day.

And now here is my conversation with Casey O'Rourke. Hello, Casey. Welcome back to the podcast.
Thank you so much for having me.
Well, this is a really exciting occasion because we're going to be talking about your new book. And as I was reading it, it's fantastic. And I'm really excited to just dive in and share with my listeners. It's called Joyful Courage, Calming the Drama and Taking Control of Your Parenting Journey. It's so perfect for my audience. And so I'm excited about that. And I just want to make sure listeners go back and listen to the first conversation, which was episode 20. It was almost three years ago, which is shocking to me, but it was all about positive discipline. So we'll touch on that a little bit today. But definitely, if you're newer to the podcast, and you haven't heard that, go back and listen, because it was a great conversation.
But for today, if you could just take a few minutes to introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about Joyful Courage and your work, kind of broader work in the world, and then we'll get into the specifics.
Yeah, I would love to. So hi, listeners. I'm super glad to be here. Thank you again for having me and for reading my book. And it's such a crazy whirlwind experience, as you know, putting a book out in the world. So I'm Casey. I am the mom of two amazing teenagers. My son is 13 and my daughter is 16. And I am a positive discipline trainer as well as a life coach and now soon to be a published author. I'm also a podcaster. So listeners, you need to come on and check out my show because I've had Debbie on a few times. And yeah, I mean, I was a school teacher, got pregnant, had my kids, lived out in the middle of nowhere. There weren't a lot of options for childcare. So chose to be home with them and then got really interested in parent education, especially considering my oldest daughter in my mind at the time was so, like, she was so easy and I felt like I was doing a really good job.
