Why We Fight With Our Parents (and How to Handle It)

Trin Told Me

Show Notes

Hi divas! I firstly want to apologize for the video quality- just know I am actively working on fixing it! I love you all so much. In this episode, I’m opening up about something we’ve all experienced—fighting with our parents and feeling like they just don’t understand us. I talk about what it was like growing up with strict parents, how it made me feel, and how I would watch my friends have full-on arguments with theirs and be like… wait, how did we even get here? We’re diving into the emotional side of it—why we feel things so intensely during our teenage years, what’s actually happening in our brains and hormones, and why small things can feel so overwhelming. I also share ways to handle those moments better—how to communicate without escalating, how to have empathy even when you’re frustrated, and how to protect your peace while still respecting your parents. Plus, I’m sharing some creative and meaningful last-minute Mother’s Day gift ideas that go beyond just buying something—things that actually feel personal and special. And a little life update… I just dropped my song Undercover, so I’m talking about that too and what it means to me 🤍 This episode is all about growing, understanding yourself, and learning how to navigate family relationships with a little more softness and a lot more self-awareness.

MY ALBUM “Alchemist” is out NOW!💜COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE SONG💜 THERE IS A VERSION OF YOU THAT HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER DESIRE! KJ my twin is here to offer her words of wisdom on this week’s topic - following your dreams. We wanted to do this episode to inspire anyone out there who is pursuing a career or passion that others might consider to be a “crazy idea" or not practical. If you have people in your life who are projecting their self-doubt onto you, let us be your support system today because we are living proof that chasing your dreams and breaking out from under other people’s expectations is worth it. Please remember that not chasing your dreams is a life of self-abandonment, and you are so lucky to have something that makes you feel alive. In this episode, we talk about finding your calling, manifestation and how it’s actually science, the importance of surrounding yourself with likeminded people, and how to not let other people infiltrate your reality. I also share how I started my career and realized that as long as I kept going, didn’t put limitations on myself, and held faith that everything was going to work out —there was no way that I wouldn’t be successful. And I also share some future dreams I want for myself! KJ and I read your stories and answer your questions about getting burnt out, feeling like you’re wasting your potential, and having unsupportive family members. We also give advice about not being able to choose one path. If Barbie, Dolly Parton, and Paris Hilton can be in various industries and achieve multiple things, then so can you!!! We as humans are forever-changing, so what good does it do to ask yourself ”who AM I?” There is a realm of possibilities out there for you. Believe in yourself, take action and stand firm in the reality you want to live in. The universe HAS to give you what you want. It’s the law—the Law of Attraction🩷

It’s officially cuffing season, and I fear I need to save some of you from yourselves. 😭🍂 In this episode, I’m giving you my ultimate Cuffing Season Survival Guide because just because it’s getting colder, everyone’s posting their cute fall dates, and you suddenly want someone to go to the pumpkin patch with does NOT mean it’s time to lower your standards. We’re talking about why cuffing season can make being single feel so much more dramatic than it actually is, the situationship red flags I need you to stop ignoring, mixed signals, getting over an ex, friendship drama, and how to know when it’s time to stay, walk away, or talk it out. I’m also reading some of your DMs and giving you my big-sister advice on messy situationships, trust issues, breaks, breakups, confusing men, and that horrible little feeling of wanting a relationship just because it seems like everyone around you has one. And most importantly, I want you to remember that you do NOT need a relationship to romanticize this season of your life. Go on the friend dates. Get the pumpkin coffee. Have the sleepovers. Wear the cute fall outfits. Go to the haunted house. Build a life you’re obsessed with—with or without a boyfriend. Because being lonely for a season is a whole lot better than getting cuffed to the wrong person just because you were cold. 😭 The right person won’t need a season to choose you. 💗 SUBMISSIONS- ⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe4SUs6-mRnrR17Pr1P4rXSzKRHZzmBgK0QXQwMYwxRwO3EPg/viewform?usp=dialog⁠ STREAM MY NEW SONGShttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7aTWY3ZVdr2405SqJyaqxb?si=WwRqfq04ThqoYF1X3y4LqA
