Ever wish you had the tools to be a more present parent—especially during the rollercoaster teen years? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Kristi Simons, a former educator turned teen life coach, who shares how to help teens build confidence and emotional resilience, while also staying grounded yourself. Whether you're raising teens or just want to parent more intentionally, this conversation is packed with mindful tools, inspiring stories, and heart-centered advice for showing up fully at home and in your business.

Today you’ll hear:

• How to reframe challenges into empowering opportunities using Kristi’s simple envelope exercise for teens (and adults!).
• What it means to parent with intention by managing your energy, modeling self-trust, and creating emotional safety.
• Mindful tools Kristi teaches teens—from breathwork to self-awareness—that help them navigate big emotions and build resilience.
• Why your own emotional regulation as a parent is key to helping your children thrive.
• How to motivate and connect with teens by making them feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
