Episode 494: The Uncool Mom


Listen Later

What happens when being the “uncool mom” is actually the coolest choice you can make? Rebecca and Seth open up about parenting through peer pressure, party culture, and keeping kids safe in a world where “everyone’s doing it.”


Rebecca Greene proudly wears the title of “The Uncool Mom” — the mom who says no to buying alcohol, drugs, or vaping supplies for her kids. In this honest conversation, she and Seth share the realities of raising teens in today’s world. From setting boundaries and modeling healthy choices to maintaining open communication, they show how love sometimes looks like rules and how safety always outweighs being the “cool” parent.


Six Key Takeaways
→ Being “uncool” can mean you’re the most responsible parent in the room.
→ Parents who supply alcohol or drugs to minors face serious legal consequences.
→ Keep communication open so kids feel safe telling the truth — even about mistakes.
→ Safety lessons like swimming, helmets, and sober driving are non-negotiable.
→ Sharing your own experiences helps kids see your guidance as real, not judgmental.
→ Teach kids how to respond to peer pressure with confidence and self-respect.


Quote from Rebecca
“I’d rather be the uncool mom than the mom who has to regret a preventable mistake. My kids can roll their eyes all they want — I’ll take that over risking their safety any day.”
