#35 - Inside a Teen Girl’s Mind: The Hidden Struggles Parents Never See

SUMMARY

It’s easy to dismiss teen years as a “phase,” but for many girls, those years leave lasting marks. Behind the eye rolls and closed doors, many teen girls are silently struggling — with self-worth, identity, and pressures no one sees. In this deeply personal episode, we’re sharing our own coming-of-age stories — the confusion, the pressure, and the moments we wish someone had noticed. 

If you’re a parent trying to understand your daughter — or a woman still healing from those years — this conversation sheds light on what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how you can show up with empathy, awareness, and love.
