Do your conversations with your teen often end in silence…or explosions? You're not alone—and there's a powerful reason why.

In this episode of The FOCUS Podcast with Taralee, we explore what emotional safety really means, why it matters so deeply for your relationship with your teen, and how you can begin creating it in everyday interactions.

Taralee breaks down the neuroscience behind your teen’s emotional reactivity and offers practical tools to help you shift from conflict to connection. Whether your teen is shutting down, lashing out, or pulling away, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on underneath—and how to be the safe space they need.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What emotional safety really means (and why it’s often overlooked)

• Why teens react the way they do (hint: it’s brain science)

• The most common ways parents unintentionally break emotional trust

• How to become a safe, steady presence—without losing your boundaries

This isn’t about parenting perfectly. It’s about parenting peacefully—with intention, empathy, and emotional clarity.
