If you've ever walked away from a conversation with your teen wondering, "What did I just do wrong?"—this episode is for you.

The silence. The tension. The one-word answers. The distance you're feeling isn't a failure… and it does not need to be permanent.

You're not a bad mom and you're not failing.

You just need a different approach to build connection in these teen years.

In this bonus episode, I'm inviting you to join me for the FREE Connect With Your Teen Workshop on January 27th—a live, 1-hour hands-on training where we'll break down what's keeping you from the connection you desire and what to do instead so your teen starts to open up.

Here's what you'll learn:

✅ Why your current approach isn't working—and how to stop the cycle of disconnection, silence, and shut down

✅ Why your teen pulls away when you try to connect—and how to create conversations where they feel safe enough to talk

✅ Communication skills that work in real life (not just in theory or perfect circumstances)

✅ Faith-based conversation starters anchored in Christ that create real transformation—not tips and tricks that leave you confused

You'll walk away with tools you can use that very same day to stop feeling dismissed, ignored, or like you're losing your child.

If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start building real connection with your teen, this workshop is for you.
