My Specialty
Curious what I like to cover most often inside this podcast and why?
#1
Relationships
The relationship you have with yourself (and to parenthood), coupled with the relationship you have with your adolescent is the #1 way you have influence in their life. You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be covering this topic a lot.
#2
Skill-Development
I'd argue everything is a skill: self-awareness, communication, accountability, time-management, and self-advocacy...you guessed it: all essential skills to thrive in life. Inside the TG podcast, I show you how to get clear and take action to guide your t(w)een to develop these skills and more.
#3
The Intersection of Science + Soul
The 3-D world is really cool (hello, neuroscience!), and when you integrate it with the powerful world of 5-D (hello, intuition and spirit!), you've got yourself an unstoppable combo of science and soul to elevate your mind, build bridges of understanding between you, while guiding them to take action that's in alignment with their highest good.
