Even the most loving families can struggle to truly hear one another. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with two Heartlight teens who share their experiences with communication breakdowns at home. For Tucker, clashing with his mom over identity and expectations made it feel impossible to bridge the gap between who he is and who she wants him to be. Tune in as both teens reflect on how the inability to talk openly with parents shaped their journeys, and how rebuilding honest, accepting communication is often the first step toward healing.
