141. Dr. Cam teaches us to "speak teen"

In this episode I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Cam Caswell, PhD, Dr. Cam is a nationally recognized adolescent psychologist, parent coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and founder of the Parenting Teens Academy. Affectionately known as "The Teen Translator," Dr. Cam helps frustrated but hopeful parents turn power struggles into connection and chaos into calm—without yelling, shaming, or giving up on their teen.

With over 20 years of experience and a doctorate in Developmental Psychology, Dr. Cam has supported thousands of families through shutdowns, attitude, anxiety, and emotional blowups. Her practical, science-backed tools have been featured on NPR, FOX, Newsweek, and Grown & Flown. As a single mom to a teen herself, she brings both clinical expertise and personal insight to every conversation—along with humor, heart, and zero judgment.

Through her Parenting Teens Academy, her popular podcast, and a highly engaged Instagram community of 347K+ parents, Dr. Cam teaches what most parenting experts don't: how to translate behavior instead of just manage it. I'm so excited to share this conversation with you.
