Has your teenager pulled away and you’re left wondering what happened to the close, easy connection you once had?

In this heartfelt episode, we’ll talk about the often-unspoken grief that comes with parenting teens — the sadness, confusion, and sense of loss when your child grows more distant. It’s part one of a two part series that will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the distance and how those feelings can become the starting point for rebuilding connection and trust.

You’ll learn:

1- The first 3 most common types of grief moms of teens experience

2- Why acknowledging your emotions isn’t weakness—it’s the first step toward rebuilding trust

3- How to begin processing the loss so you can move forward in love and connection

If you’ve ever looked at your teen and thought, “I just want us to be close again,” this episode will meet you right where you are.

One Thing to do this week:

Before next week’s episode, take 10 quiet minutes to journal:

  • “What I miss most about our relationship is…”
  • “The connection I dream of having with my teen looks like…”
  • “When I think about these changes, I feel…”

✨ Part 2 next week we’ll discover two other types of grief and reveal how to move from grief to growth and begin rebuilding connection in a new way.
