Your parents, teachers, and other adults will often give you advice that is sooooo cliché! But, it's also kinda true. Being able to find the truth in even the most cliché phrase like "believe in yourself" is a useful skill. Clichés are cliché for a reason. They work! You just have to find how it works for you.

Special guest Nicholeen Peck talks to teens about how life is about more than just what we want. We gotta throw in what we ought in there as well. If not, we are likely to miss the mark on important things in life, like relationships, success, happiness, and more. Nicholeen talks about the importance of balancing what we WANT with what we OUGHT, which is that part of us deep inside that knows what we need to do to be the best person we ought to be.

Cell phones are starting to be banned in schools across the country. Teens are revolting! But, having a cell phone with you while you're trying to learn is kinda like having a flamethrower on while you're trying to ice sculpt. It's counterproductive. Become more okay with not having a smart phone in class, or even one at all, and you'll be happier, more focused, and more effective.

Not knowing who you are can cause a teen to feel lost, confused, and unmotivated. But, a simple separation of your core qualities from your character can help teens retain a powerful sense of who they are while they grow, change, and adapt throughout life. Katie Shields, coach and mentor to families, teaches an effective way of viewing your identity that will help teens know who they are.

A teen's life does NOT need to be full of drama. Drama is conflict and the bulk of it comes from or is magnified by our minds. As much as movies, music, and tv shows glamorize drama, it's not helpful or very fun. Teens can and totally should minimize the drama in their lives.

Many tweens and teens are afraid of going back to school for lots of reasons: social pressure, boring classes, hard work, awkward moments. But these things shouldn't be feared, they should be embraced! They are a part of life and if you're experiencing them, that means you're living. Stop being afraid of going back to school and start getting excited for all the potential and possibilities life presents!

We all make mistakes. We all feel embarrassed. But, turning that embarrassment into shame is something that none of us has to do. Today, I talk to tweens and teens about how we level up embarrassment into the deeper, more personal feeling of shame, and how to stop from doing that.
