We NEED Community! 

We need to feel connected. It's what makes us human. 

While chaperoning a student retreat with hundreds of teenagers, peer leaders, and faculty members I realized something very important: 

COMMUNITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF WELLBEING.

 WE ALL NEED LOVING SUPPORTING PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES

We need people that nudge us forward. People who check in with us. Nothing crazy….a simple, “What’s up?”

Think about this:

Who do you call in an emergency, or vent about your day, or when you need a helping hand?

Who do you call when you need a laugh, who has your back no matter what? 

Now, what about your teen? Who do they call?

CONNECTION = SENSE OF BELONGING

We have all lost many connections over the last couple of years and it’s time to re-emerge and reconnect.  

And once you make one connection, others will follow!!!

The best way to find your community is to start with re-discovering who you are.  Once you and your teen re-learn and discover what lights you up, you start to naturally attract a community that are like-

Building Strength in anything will breed confidence. Lifting weights is my example but I see teens develop confidence when they start to practice something they love! I have a client who loves creating jewelry with different crystals. The more she created and practiced her craft the more excited she became. You could see her confidence radiate when she talked about her creations. She would discover different techniques and try different types of jewelry to discover how best to display the crystals. Before she knew it, someone noticed a piece of her jewelry and with confidence and love she described how she created it and the meaning behind it. The women she was talking to asked her if she could make one for her. My client was not expecting this at all but was so happy that someone else saw the beauty in the piece. They exchanged numbers and my client sold her first piece of jewelry.

Teens are designed to take risks and be curious! They are suppose to try things......and they totally should!

Some good, and some not so good risks will definitely occur during teen years but what is important is how we react as parents.

Taking Risks is Crucial for Teens.

Of course, educating our teens on what is right and wrong is critical, and I believe as parents we can also model this behavior for them.

Allowing teens to figure things out is a game changer. They are not allowed to fail or succeed on their own when we come to their rescue or do things for them.

Teens pick up from an early age that they have to do things perfectly. Perfect at academics, Perfect in sports, Perfect in performing arts. Pressuring teens to do well in academics, sports, and activities leads teens to put additional pressure on themselves to be PERFECT.

Let me tell you….it is hard to let our teens fly.  It is hard to watch them fall at times, but I know deep down we need our teens to experience the life they want. Their desire will keep them motivated to pursue their dreams and enjoy the life they created instead of the life we wanted for them.

I am super passionate about teaching and helping teens who are tired of feeling anxious to move forward once and for all. I believe we have the power to meet any challenge, find greater peace, and build on essential life skills, and most importantly, manage our minds.

Schools, sports clubs, and other activities often do not have the time and/or training to help with mental wellness which is essential for us to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilled life.

Many of our teens are experiencing anxiety.  I am coaching more teens than ever and a good amount are anxious about starting the new school year.   Let's face it, this pandemic did not in any way help our mental well being and these teens are feeling the repercussions of social isolation and fear.
