In this powerful episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with life coach Colin MacDonald to unpack a fresh and practical approach to one of today’s biggest challenges—teen screen addiction and lack of direction.

Colin shares how excessive phone use isn’t the real problem—it’s a symptom of something deeper: lack of structure, purpose, and real-life experiences. Instead of forcing change, he explains how helping young people set meaningful goals—like getting a job, improving fitness, or building independence—naturally reduces screen time and builds confidence.

Drawing from his own struggles with mental health and transformation, Colin reveals how lived-experience coaching creates real connection with teens, helping them take action, rebuild trust with their parents, and design a life they’re excited about.

If you’re a parent, coach, or someone looking to understand the modern challenges facing young people today, this episode delivers simple yet powerful insights that actually work.
