Teen Talks|Bridging the Gap Between Moms and Daughters

Shalesa Aldrich Season 1 Episode 6


Content Note: This episode includes open conversation around teen mental health and suicide. Please take care while listening and use discretion if this topic is sensitive for you or your family.


In this special “Teen Talk” episode, I sit down with my daughter Paige for a raw, real, and often sweet conversation about what life is like for teens today—and what moms might be missing.


From her simple (but powerful) advice to moms—“Just be nice to your kids”—to honest thoughts about emotions, mental health, friendships, and growing up in this world, we explore what it means to really see and hear each other.


This isn’t a how-to. It’s a heart-to-heart.


If you’ve ever wondered how to connect more with your teen… this episode is for you.


If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out.
