In today’s heartfelt episode, we’re diving into a question that resonates deeply with both teens and parents:
Why does change feel so hard?
I share my personal reflections, inspired by:
Moments with my son (Hendrix)
A new change that has come into my life
I share the lessons my teen self would have needed to navigate this change with more CONFIDENCE.
You'll discover:
How to shift your perspective from “hard” to “emotionally uncomfortable.”
The power of asking yourself, “What if?” when faced with challenges.
Why acknowledging fear while showing up with love can spark confidence and growth.
A simple tool for envisioning the incredible outcomes waiting beyond the bridge of transformation.
"What if change is just emotionally uncomfortable—and what if leaning into it creates a world where your inner light shapes your outer reality?"
