In this very first episode of The Joys of Boys Podcast, Kara shares her story as a mom of teenage boys—the ups, the struggles, and the lessons that have shaped her life. She talks about the different personalities of her sons, how being a boy mom has changed her, and why she felt called to create this podcast.

You’ll also hear what’s ahead: honest conversations, practical tips, and encouragement for every stage of raising boys. Kara will be sitting down with guests to dive into topics like education, mental health, resilience, and all the things that help us raise strong, confident, and kind young men.

And before you go, Kara shares one simple but powerful tip that can help you raise more resilient sons—something you can start practicing today, whether your boy is a toddler or a teenager. It’s the kind of insight that sets the tone for the whole podcast and one you won’t want to miss.

If you’re a mom, dad, or anyone who cares deeply about guiding boys into becoming their best selves, welcome to the joyful journey!
