Hey Ya’ll! Welcome to the podcast Life Coach BFF Show! Do you want to confidently parent your teen while remaining sane and still finding joy in your every day? Do concerns of their safety, mental health, influences of social media and the ACT as well as the “act” frighten and keep you awake at night?
After a move finding myself lonely, isolated, and drowning in the realities of parenting teenagers, I felt completely lost and depleted. After a year of sitting in loneliness, I knew it had to stop. I transformed my mindset to something I call “living on green.” I’m going to teach it to you.
In this podcast, we’re giving all things to God, find beauty in the brokenness, triumphs through the trials of parenting teens, all the while finding joy and establishing balance. I’m your new BFF Heather, and you’re not lonely anymore. We’re in this together. Unplug the flat iron, pick up those dirty gym socks, put your lipgloss on, and let’s do this!
Heather Pettey is passionate about encouraging women to find joy and remain sane while parenting teens. The laughter and support happens weekly on her podcast, Life Coach BFF Show. When not podcasting or curating for CLUB BFF Mastermind (a membership for Christian moms of teens), she’s coaching moms to live confidently, set clear boundaries, and learn to build their fire in the rain. Heather is also the author of Keep It Simple, Sarah: Powerful Words and Encouragement for Christian Teen Girls.
Heather has made appearances on CNN Headline News and other media. She believes life is a long line of lessons, and in her opinion, it’s all about faith and good ol’ common sense. She happily resides with her family in Memphis, TN.

Hi Friend, welcome back to Life Coach BFF Show! Todays's guest is Angie Phillips.
Angie is a mom to 3 kiddos and bonus mom to 3 additional loves. Their ages range from 12 to 20. Together with her husband, Aric, they embarked on a journey of blending a big, beautiful, and messy family together. Angie has been in the technology solution space her entire career which typically is not abundant with female leadership. So, as you might have guessed, she is very passionate about lifting women up! Angie also has an extreme love of traveling and exploring new places especially cute little towns. But her favorite thing is watching her kids live their best life and supporting them in all of their passions.A year ago, Angie and Aric started a podcast called “Blended, Blessed and Always a Mess” to create a sense of community for the families going through the blended struggles. Aric and Angie are raw and real about the highs and lows of blending a family. Unfortunately, on Nov 27th, 2022, Angie and her family’s lives changed forever when her oldest, Hallie, was tragically shot and passed away peacefully on November 29th. Grabbing onto their faith and hope, they are focused on shining Hallie’s light in the midst of the darkness.I hope this episode will be a blessing!

Heather

119 | Worried About Paying For Your Teens College? Kara Walker Shares How She Graduated Debt Free With Money in the Bank!
Hey Friend! Are you a mom of a teen and worried about paying for your kid's college? As a midlife mom and parent of a teen, paying for college can be stressful! As a Christian mom, you want to avoid debt for your teen, and our guest today tells us how to do it.
I'm so excited to talk with Kara Walker. She's sharing today on the podcast, Life Coach BFF Show, how she paid for her own college and graduated debt free with money in the bank. Thanks so much for listening!
About Kara:
I'm Kara. I too was a stressed college student and over-achiever, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college, and wished for clear direction on how to do it! I wanted an easier way to fund college with less anxiety. But I kept telling myself that I had no idea what I was doing… thought I wasn’t finishing school fast enough… AND felt like I would never have enough money to get through it without debt.
Until some scholarships and rare school hacks got me going. And I can show you how! In this podcast, you will find mental peace, answers for your future, and enough money to pay for college so that you too can actually, literally graduate debt-free!
So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and enroll in the most stress-free and debt-free class you've ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.
