Silence Taught Us Everything We Didn’t Want to Admit

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.

Blessings, Lessons & Big Energy: Closing 2025 and Stepping Into 2026

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.Pour a glass (Teresa’s sipping on Luca Peretti Prosecco), take a breath, and reflect.Nico and Oscar Squad Gaming: https://youtube.com/@envioussquadhqgaming?si=lWKt-4vMEJofdkYy🥂 Affirmations from This EpisodeI am willing to do the work required for the life I wantI release comparison and trust my timingI honor both my struggle and my blessingsI trust myself to stay quiet when silence protects my peaceI am allowed to feel grateful and tired at the same timeNothing about me is brokenNothing about my life is wasted🎧 Stay ConnectedIf this episode resonated, please follow, share, and leave a review and at proseccoqueenspodcast.com — it truly helps this message reach more women who need it.New episodes of the Prosecco Queens Podcast drop bi-weekly.Because Teresa is still the Forever Dreamer… and so are you. 🥂

You’re doing better than you feel. And you’re not alone.
