You may have heard the phrase, "in my ___ era," where people fill in the blank with something that has defined a phase of life for them like "my chef era" or "my revenge era." When in recent months I experienced an end of one era/phase in my life, I worked hard to help myself rephrase the end to become a new beginning and see it as an opportunity for some exciting changes in myself. Today I shared 4 tips for coping with an end or change based off of my own experience making change into a positive thing. Listen closely and enjoy!

Ever seen someone giving you looks, whispering, or even laughing? In this episode I share the thought process that can help you to ignore and stop caring about petty things like this. As teenagers we all go through our own sorts of drama, but at the end of the day, when we pay attention to its importance we realize that simply ignoring the small things and seeing them for what they really are is the best way to go.

Today I welcomed my first guest and friend Finleigh! Finleigh is someone I've talked to numerous times about growing confidence and I felt her views should be shared. She talks with us about self-confidence tactics, a few quotes that have stuck with her, the impact of social media, and being alone with yourself!

Teenagers often spend so much energy on comparing themselves to others, but I've learned that by knowing and sticking to your values, people and experiences that don't align with your values become unimportant. In this episode I discuss values: what are they? Why are they important? How can you use them to navigate life? And how they'll set you FREE! 

In my first episode, I introduce myself and the scope of Learning Life. From friendship issues to mental health, find out the range of teen-experienced topics I will dive into as I go through my own experiences and figure life out!
