Parent Nation, this ain't your mama's parenting show!

Each and every week, Tara tackles all the latest hot button and pop culture issues facing parents and kids. She also dishes up filter-free conversations with her fellow mom friends (you know you want to listen), and introduces you to guests whose take on all things parenting just might make you spit out your drink - or raise a glass in their honor.

This week's show highlights:

• The difficulties, joys, and coping mechanisms of raising tweens, teens, and young adults
• "mommy" friendships
• How to stop holding children emotionally hostage by your thoughts about them
• Why contractsare a great tool for children to learn behaviors and consequences good or bad in their lives

Linda Wolff writes the lifestyle blog CarpoolGoddess.com, where she shows us that midlife, motherhood, and the empty nest aren't so scary as she blazes the trail from teen years to empty nest. Her essays have been published in numerous anthologies and is a frequent contributor on Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, What The Flicka, Erma Bombecks Writers' Workshop, and many more.

BB Crawford's passion is to train people how to focus on what they desire in their lives without the distraction of anxiety, stress or emotional overwhelm. With her easy, simple solution focused tools and exercises the most stressed out parents can begin parenting from a peaceful place versus feeling frustrated or even angry with their children.

So pull up a chair, shake up a cocktail, and kick up your heels while you tune in to the refreshingly real talk about what it takes to be a functional - and fun - parent in today's wild world of raising kids.
