JOIN THE WAITLIST⁠ TODAY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR TEEN + PARENT COACHING PROGRAM!

The TEEN YEARS are formative...

...meaning it is never too late to help them cultivate CONFIDENCE as they navigate this critical period of development.

This is a reminder that myself and Heather Chauvin have opened our waitlist for Parent + Teen life coaching - with a background in education and a teacher for the past 12 years - I have made it my personal mission to step away from the classroom in order to teach essential life skills that are not taught in the school system.

And of course - the Parent-Teen Relationship, and all relationships that benefit significantly from the investment in ourselves.

The more we love ourselves, are kind to ourselves, treat ourselves with respect and communicate how we are feeling, the more connected all relationships in our lives will become.

I believe the teenage years shape so much of a person's identity, beliefs, values, and behaviors and these experiences greatly influence who they become as adults.

THE ANSWERS WILL COME WHEN YOU MAKE ROOM TO HEAR THEM

You have everything you need IN you.

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY

In this episode I am talking about - Quick confidence and being anchored in ourselves as two essential qualities that contribute significantly to our personal and professional growth.

Quick confidence refers to the ability to trust in our capabilities swiftly and decisively, enabling us to tackle challenges with assurance and resilience.

Being anchored in ourselves entails a strong sense of self-awareness, authenticity, and inner stability. It involves understanding our values, strengths, and limitations, and aligning our actions with our true selves.

Together, quick confidence and being anchored in ourselves form a powerful foundation for personal and professional success.

 EXPLAIN - HIGHLIGHT - OFFER

In this episode, I talk about two strategies aimed at helping parents get their teen onboard with the support they know will benefit them in many areas of their lives.

Strategy 1: identifying three key steps to initiate the conversation and plant seeds for their journey towards greater confidence, proactive engagement, and support.

Strategy 2: offer them the time to process the information and assess accordingly, while allowing yourself to practice active listening and flexibility as they navigate their own thoughts and feelings.

Additionally, I provide a sample script to guide you should you find yourself at a loss on how to approach getting your teen onboard with saying YES to the help they need!

TULUM 2024

Something my coach always repeats that I never truly understood until this year.

First, growth in any capacity is uncomfortable because when you grow, it means you are leaving behind who you used to be and what you used to believe.

You don't just wake up one day and become the person you most desire to be.
Being is in the doing.

I become HER each day that I choose to meet my fears and my grief, and I allow them to MOVE THROUGH with compassion and love.
