Do you ever feel like your parents just don’t get you - no matter how hard you try to explain yourself? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’ll talk about why communication can feel so hard during the teen years, the real fears that keep you silent, and practical ways to speak up with confidence (without it turning into an argument).
You’ll learn: 
 ✨ Why parents and teens often miss each other emotionally 
 ✨ How to communicate what you really feel (in a healthy, respectful way) 
 ✨ What to do when the adults in your life don’t listen or respond well 
 ✨ How your faith can anchor you when you feel misunderstood
Whether you’re trying to build trust with your parents, reconnect after a rough season, or just learn how to express yourself better - this episode will help you find your voice again.
