122 | Your Teenage Daughter Looks Fine. She's Not. {MOMS}

Hey mama. If it's late and you're up searching for this, you are not failing her. You're paying attention, and that's everything.

Because so many of the girls who are struggling the most are also the ones who look, from the outside, like they've got it all together. In this episode, we talk about why her hiding isn't dishonesty, it's fear of disappointing you. We unpack the three pulls she's juggling at once (you, her peers, and her faith), and why "I'm fine" so often means she wants to be seen, not fixed.
