Vaccinate Your Mind

Negative thoughts can really stop a teen from reaching their full potential. These thoughts can be changed into positive ones, though! If you know how. Throwing out a positive thought to a teen who really believes their negative one will just come off as cliche and cheesy. But, if you know how to do it right, you can totally turn that frown upside-down. Today's secret for an awesome life is the Ladder of Positivity!

This special Leap Day episode motivates teens to cultivate a life of seizing opportunities, of saying yes, of taking action on the things they want and know will improve their lives. When they make seizing the moment a habit, they'll be the ones who seize those rare moments that can change their life for the better.

Tweens and teens often find their siblings annoying! It causes fights and ruins the harmony in the home. But, teens can do something to lessen the power that their siblings have over them. You don't need your siblings to change! But, most of the time they do change when you realize why they might be being annoying in the first place and change your response. Plus, I start the episode with an awesome anime-style showdown between Broku and Siblingsoka!

No one likes to talk about physical or sexual abuse, which can lead to victims of this kind of abuse to not want to talk about it either. I bring on Ben Pugh, my friend and a fellow life coach, to talk about his experience of being a victim of sexual & physical abuse as well as his experience helping victims as a principal and foster parent. We approach this very serious topic in a way that’s not too heavy for listeners. I hope all parents and teens find our conversation helpful, whether they’ve been a victim of abuse or not.

A teen's fear of being seen as "cocky" often stops them from truly being confident. Why can't we admit our talents and achievements?? There is totally a way to be confident without being cocky. You just also have to be able to admit your flaws, as well. In this episode, I talk to teens about how not to cross that line into arrogance and how being able to claim your wins will lead to more of them.

Welcome to Season 5! I start this season by talking to tweens and teens about how we label ourselves. Some labels limit us and some help us grow. But all labels are self-given. If teens can work on removing the limiting labels and believing more in the helpful labels, they'll create a healthier and happier mindset.

But, there is something teens can do to change their Christmas experience this season and I talk about it in this episode.

I'll be back in January with more episodes as we kick off a new year and a new season of Secrets for an Awesome Life!!

Age is a big deal for teens. I get it. I'm turning 40 tomorrow. Age is a big deal for me, too! But, does it have to be? How might you be limiting yourself because of a number? I know the government and other organizations put age limits on things, but is your brain also limiting you? "I'm only 13, I can't be a leader of a club." Remove all self-imposed limitations and you'll be able to do a lot more than you think. Just not drive. You totally have to be 16 for that.
