This episode dives into one of the hardest questions we face as parents: How do we help our kids stay rooted in the faith when the world is pulling them away? Dr. Greg sits down with Raquel Rose, who's lived this from every angle—first as a scared college student facing an unexpected pregnancy, later as a school counselor walking with teens through their toughest moments, and now as a Catholic mom of four. She shares real-life wisdom about building trust, opening up honest conversations, and bringing faith into everyday family life.

Key Topics:

The real reasons kids shut down—and what actually helps them open up
Why Raquel was afraid to tell her parents she was pregnant—and what she wishes they had said
The moment of grace that changed everything before her scheduled abortion
How seeing Jesus in the Eucharist led to healing, hope, and a new path
What Raquel learned from years of counseling teens who couldn't talk to their parents
Simple ways parents can build trust and bring faith into everyday family life
