About this episode
Jenny Way shares her personal family story and discusses the emotional challenges faced by teenagers in family dynamics.
In this episode, I open up about my own family story — the complicated relationship I’ve had with my parents, the traumas that shaped me, and the emotional struggles that many teenagers quietly carry at home. I talk about how I’ve tried to navigate those challenges, the feelings I faced along the way, and the questions I’m still working through. Together, we’ll explore where family conflicts often come from, why they feel so heavy, and what steps we can take to lighten that weight — both in our relationships and in ourselves. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, unseen, or stuck in old patterns with family, this conversation might help you feel less alone and maybe even spark ideas for change.
