**Some parts of this episode were recorded at different times — because growth, reflection, and healing don’t always happen in one take.**

So, what happens when the mirror, the camera, and your inner voice all tell different stories?

In this solo episode of Prosecco Queens Podcast, Teresa gets real about midlife, body changes, confidence, and the quiet grief that comes with becoming someone new. From bad lighting and five chins to lockdown weight gain, collective trauma, and the difference between validation and self-worth — this episode is funny, honest, and deeply human.

Teresa talks about:

• Why midlife can feel disorienting even when life is “fine”
• How mirrors, selfies, and video distort how we see ourselves
• The difference between self-awareness and self-punishment
• Grieving the body, energy, and identity you once had
• Why confidence isn’t constant — it’s practiced
• How collective trauma changed our habits, bodies, and self-image
• Learning to look at yourself with kinder eyes before hindsight does

This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at themselves and thought, “This doesn’t feel like me… but I’m still here.”

And yes — this message is for the queens and the kings.

✨ New episodes coming soon featuring conversations on mental health, healing, music, masculinity, family, and growth.

In this episode of Prosecco Queens Podcast, Teresa sits down with her sister Gina for a candid, unfiltered conversation about silence — how it becomes a coping mechanism, how it shows up in dating and relationships, and how it can protect us or quietly harm us depending on intention.

Growing up in the same household but navigating life very differently, the sisters reflect on how silence shaped their emotional responses, communication styles, and boundaries. They talk openly about using silence in dating, learning when it becomes avoidance, and how continued healing has changed the way Teresa approaches love, parenting, and personal growth — referencing lessons from Season 4, Episode 1 and beyond.

The conversation also explores parenting with emotional awareness, modeling communication for children, and learning when silence is necessary versus when it creates distance. With laughter, honesty, and a little bubbly, this episode captures the reality of evolving through different seasons of life — without pretending growth is linear or perfect.

This is a real sister conversation about healing, boundaries, dating, parenting, emotional growth, and self-awareness — and the quiet lessons that stay with you long after the noise fades.

After a purposeful pause, Teresa returns to the Prosecco Queens Podcast with an honest New Year reflection on what 2025 really held — the hard moments, the quiet wins, and the growth that didn’t come with applause.

In this episode, Teresa talks about navigating motherhood with a now-adult daughter at home, learning how to lead with both love and boundaries, and consciously breaking generational cycles. She reflects on dating, emotional availability, self-responsibility, and the realization that while some people may not be capable of loving us the way we deserve, we still have to take ownership of our own patterns.

She also opens up about learning when silence protects peace — especially for someone whose instinct has always been to seek closure and the last word — and why that growth surprised her the most.

With a grounded look at astrology, intuition, and emotional cycles (especially for Pisces), Teresa reminds listeners that while energy may be shifting as 2026 approaches, nothing changes without intention and work.

This episode is about honesty, accountability, healing, and moving forward without bypassing the lessons that shaped you.
