In this week’s episode, I’m delighted to welcome Tanya Meessmann back to the show. If you’re a loyal listener, you might remember Tanya from Episode 50, Developing Confidence, Courage, and Self-Belief in Teens. If you missed that one, be sure to check it out. After a successful career in corporate Australia and the UK, Tanya pivoted, and now has a company called Girl Shaped Flames. Tanya mentors young ambitious girls and she helps them develop self-confidence and self-belief. Tanya always brings so much wisdom and insight to our conversations and today is no exception. Some of the topics we cover in this episode include understanding why we parent the way we do, the identity phase that is critical for teens’ personal development, and the four key fears that erode a teenager’s confidence. Be sure to stay tuned till the end to hear about a special offer from Tanya exclusively for my listeners!
