This week on The Mental Matchup, we sit down with Laura Ollinger, a Teen & Young Adult Well-Being Coach and Founder of Positively Healthy Coaching. Laura works 1:1 with teens to help them navigate stress, anxiety, and self-doubt while building the tools they need to thrive.

With an extensive background — including being a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Elite Neuroencoding Specialist, and clinically certified in stress and self-regulation through HeartMath — Laura brings both science and strategy to her work with young people.

In this episode, we explore:

The biggest challenges teens and young adults are facing today

How stress and anxiety show up — and what to do about it

The difference between confidence that’s built vs. confidence that’s performed

Practical tools to help young people regulate emotions and build resilience

How parents, coaches, and mentors can better support the athletes and teens in their lives

Laura’s approach focuses on developing both mindset and skill set — empowering young people to feel more confident, connected, and clear in who they are and where they’re going.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone invested in the well-being and development of the next generation.
