*****TOP 2.5% GLOBAL PODCAST*****

The go-to podcast for Christian moms who want deeper connection with their teens.

Are you tired of feeling dismissed every time your teen pulls out their phone mid-conversation?
Do conversations with your teen feel more like nagging sessions than real connection?
Is your teen shut down, distracted, or glued to a screen… while you’re desperate to build trust and keep your relationship strong?

I’m so excited you’re here!

This podcast will help you move from walking on eggshells to having real, trust-building conversations—without the nagging, misunderstandings or push-back.

My mission is to equip you to communicate with tools that replace frustration with understanding, turn tension into trust, and help you become the mom your teen feels safe opening up to.

Hi, I’m Terri Lee. A wife, mom, tutu, and communication coach. For years, I thought the key to raising my kids well was teaching the right lessons, taking them to church, and trying to fix their behavior. But instead of building connections it only led to frustration, distance, and feeling like my words didn’t matter.

I realized that to have deep, lasting connections—both now and after my kids left home—I needed to change how I communicated. So, I did. I learned to listen without criticism, speak in a way my kids felt safe, and build thriving relationships. Now, I help moms do the same, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

If you’re looking for practical ways to talk to your teen, build a relationship based on mutual respect, and get them off their phones long enough to connect—this show is for you.

Grab your latte and let’s dive into it.

  • 42 | New Year, New Peace: How to Enter God's Rest and Still Build Connection

    42 | New Year, New Peace: How to Enter God's Rest and Still Build Connection
    Dec 31 2025

    Are you tired of striving and longing to parent from peace—showing up present, grounded, and emotionally available for your teen?

    “Shalom shalom, mom.”

    As a Christian mom, the new year can bring pressure, worry, and a quiet fear of losing connection with your teen. But God’s promise in Isaiah 26:3 offers something different: perfect peace that doesn’t depend on your circumstances—or your teen changing.

    In this episode of Connect With Your Teens, we explore the biblical meaning of shalom shalom and how God guards your mind and imagination when you stay anchored in Him. You’ll learn how resting in God’s peace supports faith-based parenting and helps you build connection with your teen from a place of calm instead of control.

    You’ll also be invited to slow down and experience His peace together, allowing God to release the weight you’ve been carrying and realign your heart with His rest as you step into the new year.

    On January 27, I’m hosting a free, live workshop where we’ll go deeper into how you can walk in and communicate in peace with your child. It’s called Connect With Your Teen: Build Trust in 10 Minutes a Day and Stop Walking on Eggshells. If your home has felt tense or disconnected, this could be your fresh start for the year. Registration opens soon—check the show notes for the link.

    💛 Take a breath. Find a quiet moment.

    Let’s step into the new year anchored in God’s perfect peace.

  • 41 | When Your Teen Talks About the Hard Stuff: Questions That Build Trust (Part 2)

    41 | When Your Teen Talks About the Hard Stuff: Questions That Build Trust (Part 2)
    Dec 24 2025

    What do you do when your teen brings up a political, social, or faith-related issue that clashes with everything you believe?

    If your heart races, your guard goes up, or you feel the urge to correct, defend, or shut it down—you’re not alone, Mom. But those moments don’t have to lead to distance or disconnection.

    In this episode, we continue our series on questions that create connection, build trust, and emotional safety—even during charged or controversial conversations. You’ll learn how to stay anchored in your identity, communication skills that empower you to listen without needing to agree, and respond in a way that keeps the door open instead of slamming it shut. These questions work whether the topic is faith, politics, dating, social issues, college decisions, or anything that feels high-stakes and emotionally loaded.

    If conversations in your home feel tense or you’re walking on eggshells, I want to personally invite you to my free live workshop this January: Connect With Your Teen: Build Trust in 10 Minutes a Day and Stop Walking on Eggshells.

    In just one hour, you’ll learn simple, faith-based tools to rebuild trust, spark real conversations, and bring peace back into your home.

    The registration link will be shared soon!

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Three powerful, connection-building questions that deepen trust during hard conversations
    • How to listen without debating, correcting, or abandoning your values
    • What it looks like to create emotional safety—even over text messages
    • How curiosity opens doors that control and correction close

  • 40 | 3 Questions That Build Connection When Faith Divides Your Family (Part 1)

    40 | 3 Questions That Build Connection When Faith Divides Your Family (Part 1)
    Dec 18 2025

    What if listening — not defending — is what actually keeps the door open with your teen? How do you stay grounded when your teen questions everything you’ve taught them about God? Is it possible to build trust and influence without agreeing or convincing?

    When your teen starts questioning God, faith, or church, it can feel like the ground drops out from under you. Suddenly, every conversation feels loaded… and you’re not sure whether to speak up, stay silent, or pray harder and hope for the best.

    In this episode, I’m sharing three powerful conversation starters that help you build connection and trust with your teen — even when faith feels like the thing dividing your family. These questions are designed to help you stay grounded, curious, and emotionally safe so your teen feels heard instead of preached at or pressured.

    If you’re parenting teens and longing for better family communication around faith, this episode will help you move from fear and panic to peace and confidence — without arguments, lectures, or walking on eggshells.

    And Mom, if you’re thinking, “I need help having these conversations with my teen,” I want to invite you to join my free Facebook community. Each month, I host live Q&A coaching calls where you can get support, ask questions, and connect with other moms walking this same road.

    👉 Join us here: Connect With Your Teens Facebook Group

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How to respond to faith questions in a way that builds connection instead of creating distance
    • Three simple, Spirit-led questions that invite your teen to open up and say more
    • Why emotional safety matters more than having the “right” answers
    • How curiosity can preserve trust and long-term influence with your teen
