Confidently Connected: Nurturing Your Teen's Authenticity

11/15/23 • 13 min

Ever wondered why your teenager is acting out, or why they seem to be drifting further from their authentic selves in a bid to fit in? Do you sometimes wish you could help them navigate these critical years without losing their individuality?

I understand this struggle first-hand, and it’s a real worry for a lot of parents.

When teens or tweens are not true to themselves, they will often feel lost or confused. This often shows up as a bad attitude, anger, and disconnection, and it makes it really hard for parents to help them.

In this episode, I’ll also reveal a new system I've designed specifically for parents and teenagers called 'Confidently Connected'. This super easy 3-step system helps teens and tweens discover who they are and understand what's truly important to them, so they can become confident, happy, and self-assured young adults; while supporting parents along the way.

2) The Confidently Connected [Teen/Tween] System is a super easy 3-step system for teens, tweens, and parents.
It's designed to give today's youth tools to help them discover who they are so they don't spend years suffering from low self-esteem, a lack of confidence or motivation, unhealthy relationships (with themselves and others), and generally6 feeling lost, stuck, unhappy, or out of control.
The Confidently Connected [Parent] System gives parents of teens and tweens tools to support and better understand what their kids might be going through, as well as help them strengthen or create strong, healthy relationships (with their kids, themselves, and others).
Because the system is hybrid, that means the teen/tween can work at their own pace and in their own time, as the content is fully digital.
Additionally, there are weekly call opportunities to connect for both the teens/tweens, and, separately, for the parents.
This might just be the easiest system you will come across to get teens and tweens the information they need (which is generally NOT taught in schools) to improve their self-worth, their confidence, and their overall mindset so they can become happy, successful young adults, which all parents want for their kids.
