When your teen is hurting, it can feel overwhelming, heartbreaking, and confusing. You may see signs of anger, anxiety, self-harm, or withdrawal — and not know what to do next. In this powerful and personal episode, Danielle Alvarez Greer shares her own story of trauma, eating disorders, and emotional pain — and how Jesus met her there and brought healing.

You’ll learn how trauma often hides beneath the surface of teen behavior, how to respond with compassion and biblical wisdom, and why your teen doesn’t need a perfect parent — they need a present one.

This episode will equip you with Christ-centered tools to help your teen feel seen, safe, and supported — while reminding you that you are not alone on this journey.
