I loved talking to Emma and hearing her perspective about what it's like to be a single adult member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She is helping bridge the gap often felt between the younger and older generations. You will love her energy and spirit. Emma is a young professional who loves being in a business world and surrounded by entrepreneurs. She has a degree in Psychology and education in Behavioral Health, Trauma, Life-Coaching, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Emma is the owner of several businesses and Queen of the Hustle. As an event director, public speaker, writer, life coach, podcast host, etc, she has spent hundreds of hours hearing, writing about, and giving voice to the stories and messages of countless women and other female entrepreneurs. Much of her time is spent in one-on-one professional and personal development coaching sessions with clients, helping them create personal strategies to thrive, whether it's through a start-up, tune-up, and rebrand of a self-owned business or simply through difficult stages of life and trauma. Though she loves the personal connections found in one-on-one coaching sessions, public speaking is her passion. She has taught numerous self-improvement classes and her favorite presentation setting is a classroom or a stage. When she's not speaking, teaching, or coaching, Emma is a singer and a pianist, and she does both as often as she can.

Understanding your emotions is essential for you to be able to control them. The goal is not to avoid feeling negative emotions, the goal is to know what to do with them.

Ben Pugh is a life coach who works with both parents and teens. Ben called himself a "knucklehead kid" and shares his experience of how adults treated him after getting in some trouble as a teen.  These experiences led him on a mission to help troubled teens see a better version of themselves. Ben is passionate about letting both parents and teens alike know that we don't need to catastrophize everything. Showing up as your best self will help us have more influence on the teens in our life. We need to do the work on us first, instead of thinking that our teens just need to change.

Being liked and approved of feels good doesn't it? But it can create resentment and frustration when we try to make other people approve of us by people pleasing. We aren't true to who we are and this can create a disconnect in our relationships. In this episode I talk about how we can stop this cycle and still show up in love for everyone around us. 

Make your home a place of refuge for your teen. A place where they can escape the pressures and stresses of their everyday life. A place where they feel safe to talk, connect and be influenced by you.
