Your teen comes home, closes their bedroom door, and gives you one-word answers.You ask how their day was.“Fine.”You ask whether anything happened.“No.”You ask if they are upset with you.“I don't know. Can you please leave me alone?”You are asking because you care—but the more you try to get your teen talking, the further away they seem to move.Teen silence can trigger enormous fear in a parent. You may worry that something is wrong, that your teen no longer trusts you, or that your relationship is slipping away.This can feel especially intense when you are parenting alone or carrying most of the emotional responsibility for your family. There may not be another adult beside you to help hold the worry, so you understandably try harder to get information.But your teen may experience those repeated questions as pressure, monitoring, or an expectation to talk before they are ready.Their silence does not automatically mean they do not love you or need you. Sometimes it means they are overwhelmed, embarrassed, tired, afraid of a reaction, or still trying to understand their own feelings.In this episode, you will learn:Why teenagers often shut down with the people they love mostHow your own fear can unintentionally create more pressureWhy asking fewer questions can sometimes lead to more communicationHow to create low-pressure opportunities for connectionWhat to do when your teen shares one small piece of informationHow advice, fixing, and lectures can close the door againHow to repair the pattern if conversations have become tenseWhen teen withdrawal may require more direct attention and supportThe goal is not to find the perfect question that makes your teen tell you everything.The goal is to become the parent with whom your teen feels safe bringing the difficult things.If this episode helped you, follow The Single Parenting Reset Show on Apple Podcasts so the next practical reset is waiting for you.You can also download my free Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit, which gives you practical scripts and a plan for staying grounded during difficult moments with your tween or teen.

"It's a new beginning for us." Minkah Fitzpatrick and Adonai Mitchell As the Pivot Training Camp tour continues, we hit the Big Apple, where we sit down with Minkah Fitzpatrick and Adonai Mitchell to preview the season ahead with the NY Jets, and reflect on the hard roads that brought them to this moment. Two players. Two very different journeys. One shared mindset: keep going, keep growing, and embrace the opportunity in front of you. From adversity and setbacks to finding their way to New York, Minkah and Adonai open up about the moments that tested them, shaped them, and ultimately helped define who they are today. Now, with training camp underway, the focus shifts to what comes next: earning it, building something together, and making an impact when it matters most. For Minkah, Nine years. Three stops. One journey that brings him back home. His transparency is on full display as he talks growing up in New Jersey to going to Miami as a first round pick to becoming a cornerstone of Steelers defense in 2019 and building a nine-year career defined by adversity, evolution, and excellence, Minkah has seen it all. Now, he returns to familiar territory to begin a new chapter with the Jets — and perhaps the most meaningful one yet. His respect for Coach Aaron Glenn and leading the young roster which is Minkah's focus. Adonai Mitchell brings the Jets a big, athletic X receiver with downfield speed and the ability to win one-on-one matchups. His time in Indianapolis ended after a costly focus mistake, fumbling at the goal line on what would have been a 75-yard touchdown against the Rams...but he responded well after the trade, showing flashes of the talent that made him a second-round pick. In New York, Mitchell gives the offense another explosive weapon opposite Garrett Wilson, and confidence in Geno Smith to be able to turn those flashes into consistent production. This isn't just a training camp stop talking preseason...It's a conversation about resilience, purpose, pressure, and the power of a pivot. The journey brought them to this point, and now, it's time to see where it takes them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Few books make you stop and truly question everything you thought you knew about love. All About Love by bell hooks is one of them — and we knew from the moment we finished it that this had to be our next season read. Across eleven powerful chapters, hooks dismantles the everyday assumptions we carry about giving and receiving love, tracing them all the way back to how we first learned what love was supposed to look like in childhood. She challenges us to rethink self-love, not as something indulgent, but as the very foundation of peace and compassion in every area of our lives. From the personal to the political, from the intimate to the communal, hooks makes the case that love isn't just a feeling — it's a practice, and one that holds the power to heal wounds we've carried individually and collectively for far too long. This is a book about more than romance. It's about how we show up for each other, how we build communities, and how we begin to repair a world that often feels broken. We hope you enjoy this season.

Send us Fan MailGreg McKeown, author of Essentialism, reveals the 7 words that make people open up instantly while breaking down communication skills, active listening, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, social media distraction, the AI age, nonviolent communication, and the psychology of being misunderstood. In this conversation, Greg explains why modern life has moved beyond distraction into disorientation — and why the real bottleneck in relationships, leadership, family, and business is “confident misunderstanding.”Ryan and Greg explore Carl Rogers' forgotten 1952 communication rule, the phrase “Let me see if I understand you,” and why making someone feel deeply understood can defuse arguments, build trust, and unlock better conversations. They also discuss how Satya Nadella helped shift Microsoft's culture, how listening played a role in locating Saddam Hussein, and why removing noise is often more powerful than adding more signal.Watch this episode if you want to become a better listener, communicator, leader, partner, friend, or thinker.

Today we have Meg. She is 36 years old, lives in Houston, TX and she took her last drink on October 11th, 2020.   This episode is brought to you by:   Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help   Soberlink – claim your $100 enrollment bonus   Bozeman 2026 – August 12th-16th, 2026   If you're wondering what you can expect in your first seven days alcohol free, check out our new FREE 7-day guide.   [02:26] Thoughts from Paul:   You've heard the opposite of addiction is connection. Alcohol wants you turning away from people into a more isolated life. Paul encourages us to find small moments in the day when you can open up towards life and shares some examples of how we can engage with other people and nature throughout our lives.   [07:21] Paul introduces Meg:   Meg is 36 years old and lives in Houston, TX with her two cats Fred and George. She works as an HR coordinator for Meow Wolf and for fun, Meg enjoys walking, puzzling and writing.   Meg didn't have her first drink until she was 18 years old but instantly knew it was a special elixir that was going to allow her to be more social and comfortable. Throughout college, Meg says she always drank, often to excess with the purpose of getting drunk. She didn't recognize it as a problem at that point and just continued to spend time with friends who drank like her.   Meg got two DUIs when she was in her early 20s. She developed relationships where drinking was part of how they would relate to one another. It wasn't until she was in a relationship with a normal drinker that her drinking became very noticeable. She found herself trying to moderate around him, but says it backfired often.   Meg's says that she had some cognitive dissonance growing because she knew that the alcohol was pulling her away from her authenticity but found herself drinking more to try and shut that voice down. The drinking escalated during COVID when Meg was working at home, drinking all day, and hiding bottles from her boyfriend. She soon lost her job and the next day her boyfriend broke up with her.   Meg moved from California, back into her mom's home in Las Vegas. Meg and her mother hadn't lived together for the last 10 years, so her mother wasn't aware how much Meg drank. After a day of drinking and blacking out, Meg and her mother got into a big fight that led to her trashing her room. Meg woke up the next day feeling really low and scared of the person she was becoming when she drank.   The day after the blowout, Meg and her mother had a long discussion where Meg revealed more to her about how drunk she was and that she had a problem with drinking. Her mother told her, "I love you and I don't like you right now". Meg says that was very painful, but it opened her up to working on recovery.   Meg knew she couldn't say "never" so instead focused on taking things day by day. She was in a great environment for healing and had plenty of time to take walks and she came up with an idea to treat it like an experiment. She set goals of not drinking through several upcoming events and leaned on friends and family to help hold her accountable.   After around 90 days, Meg recognized that she was doing ok by herself but knew she needed community and connection. She joined the Café RE community and started attending retreats, which have been life-changing for her.   Meg quickly saw some positive results when she quit drinking. Her career has kicked off, and she has been promoted every year since she started at Meow Wolf. Meg says she went from being a reactive person to a proactive person. Sobriety has given Meg tools to navigate the full range of emotions. Journalling and writing are important to Meg. She is currently documenting her journey through treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on her blog Sincerely, Nutmeg.   Meg's parting piece of guidance: make sober a priority, because you are worth it.   We love you, Meg. Looking forward to seeing you dance at Bozeman 2027!

I struggled with opening up to people in my life and allowing them to see all of me. It was because I thought if I allowed them to see all of me, they would leave. I lived with this fear for a long time, and I realized that I had to let the world see all of me so I can help heal or help someone. I have missed out on opportunities because I wasn't willing to open up and let people in and try new things. You will never know where you are supposed to be or who you are supposed to help if you are not willing to open up and try new things.

Have you ever wished your teen would open up to you...but when they finally do, you find yourself giving advice, asking too many questions, or trying to fix the problem? In this episode, I explore why helping your teen feel safe enough to talk isn't about finding the perfect words. It's about understanding what's happening inside of you in those moments. I'll uncover three common mindset patterns that can unintentionally push teens away, even when they're rooted in love and good intentions. You'll learn how to let go of anxiety, stop overthinking, and show up as the calm, connected mom you want to be. Whether you're parenting teens or navigated the empty nest, this conversation will help you strengthen your relationship, practice letting go, and navigate motherhood with more confidence, self-awareness, and trust.

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your spiritual life? What's often missing is the difference in knowing something in our head and having it come alive in our heart. In this message from the “Love Incorruptible” series, Pastor J.D. takes us through a passage in Ephesians and shows us why it's not enough just to know facts. God has to grant us spiritual sight if we want to know him more and see his true glory.
