The Emotional World of Teens: What We’re Not Seeing

UnlockingOurCodePodcast Season 4 Episode 5

In this powerful conversation, we invited our teenage daughters—Mia Hernandez and Abbygail Munguia—to join us as special guests. Together, we opened up the unseen layers of the emotional world of teens.

What we often label as “attitude,” “moodiness,” or “silence” is sometimes something much deeper: unspoken feelings, hidden pressures, and a longing to be understood. Mia and Abbygail bravely shared their perspectives on what it really feels like to be a teen today, what they wish adults could see, and how they navigate their inner worlds.

As parents and co-hosts, we listened, reflected, and learned alongside them. This episode is a reminder that mental health awareness starts at home—with presence, compassion, and the willingness to hear what’s often left unsaid.

 Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or teen yourself, this conversation will give you insight into building connection and awareness in your own family.
