Laura Ollinger, M.Ed., NBC-HWC, is a Teen & Parent Well-Being Coach, motivational youth speaker, and host of The Positively Healthy Mom Podcast. She is widely known for her signature keynote, The Decider™, a high-impact talk that helps teens understand why fear drives so many of their choices—and how to choose confidence, connection, and direction instead. Laura brings this same clarity, humor, and compassion to every podcast appearance.

A trusted expert on family dynamics, teen behavior, and emotional well-being, Laura is the creator of 5 Tips to Cracking the Parent Code and the Cracking the Parent Code Blueprint, which offer practical, research-informed tools for building calmer, more connected homes. Podcast hosts appreciate how Laura makes complex neuroscience accessible—helping parents understand why teens think, react, and retreat the way they do, and what simple shifts lead to immediate change.

Laura blends professional expertise with lived experience as a mom of four teens who has spent 18 years in Austin hiking local trails with her puppies Lily and Bear and cheering at countless sports events. Her warm, relatable approach resonates with both moms and teens, making her a standout guest for shows focused on parenting, mental health, education, youth development, or family well-being.
