🎧 Pt. 2 - A Teen’s Voice on Parenting, Trust & Fear – Unscripted

In this powerful follow-up episode, I sit down again with my teenage son, Will, for a raw and revealing Q&A that dives deep into the emotional landscape of today’s teens. This isn’t about surface-level check-ins like “How was school?” — it’s about the kind of questions that build trust, spark connection, and invite vulnerability.

We explore what it means to truly see our kids — not just manage them. From fears and frustrations to curiosity and courage, Will shares honest reflections that every parent needs to hear. Whether your child is 15 or 35, it’s never too late to ask better questions and create space for real conversations.

💥 Sample questions from this episode:

💡 What’s something teens think about a lot?

💡 What do you wish parents understood?

💡 When is it easiest — or hardest — to talk to parents?

💡 What helps you feel safe when you’re stressed?

📝 Parents, take notes. Use these questions as conversation starters — not all at once, but gently, over time. Ask them during a walk, a car ride, or while making dinner. Let silence do its work. And when your child answers, listen like it’s the most important story you’ve ever heard — because it is.

✨ Connection isn’t built in big speeches. It’s built in small moments. In the questions we ask, and the space we create for answers.

Let’s start asking better questions — and I’d love to hear what you learn.
