9. Becoming the Trusted Parent: The Emotionally Safe Way to Communicate With Your Teen
Manage episode 488072734 series 3666236
Ever wonder why some parents become their teen’s safe place—and others don’t, even when they’re trying just as hard?
In this episode, we explore the unseen but powerful reason behind emotional disconnection between parents and teens.
You’ll hear the story of a mom named Mary, whose son had emotionally shut down after experiencing deep loss.
Despite her best efforts, their home was heavy with tension… until she discovered how to shift her own emotional energy.
What followed was a heart-opening transformation that brought peace, connection, and trust back into their relationship.
We dive into the Miracle Cycle and what it really takes to move out of the Red Zone (stress, overwhelm, control) into the Blue and Gold Zones—where emotional safety is built, and trust begins to flourish.
You’ll learn why trying to “just be happy” doesn’t work, how surrender can be your biggest breakthrough, and how joy and playfulness become tools for healing.
If your teen seems distant, irritable, or unreachable, this episode will help you understand exactly how to shift your energy and become the emotionally safe, trusted parent they want to talk to.
