If confidence feels fragile in the tween and teen years..


Hi Reader!

The Leadership Life Skills Summit begins next Monday!

If you’ve been thinking about joining, this is a good week to take a closer look.

You already know my heart in this season of parenting. Independence grows through life skills. And one of the most foundational life skills in the tween and teen years is confidence.

Not loud confidence.
Not performative confidence.

But the kind that says,
“I can handle this.”
“I know who I am.”
“I can recover when something feels hard.”

That kind of confidence is built through emotional coaching.

Because of that, I decided to include something special for those who choose the VIP Pass.

If you upgrade through my link, you’ll receive my full Masterclass:

Building Confidence in Your Tween & Teen
(from our Emotion Coaching Series)

Inside this training, we walk through:

  • How confidence develops in the brain
  • Why capable teens still doubt themselves
  • The connection between emotional regulation and self-belief
  • How to respond when your teen shuts down or spirals
  • Practical coaching language you can use right away

This masterclass normally lives inside our paid series. I am including it as a gift for families who upgrade to the VIP Pass.

Many of the summit sessions will introduce important conversations. Lifetime access allows you to revisit them. My masterclass helps you apply what you learn.

The VIP Pass also includes:

  • Lifetime access to all sessions
  • The full bonus bundle
  • The ability to rewatch with your teen at your own pace

If that kind of flexibility lowers your stress, it may be worth considering.

The summit begins Monday.

If you decide to upgrade, no additional action is needed - just look for my Masterclass in your VIP Bundle

Hi Reader! You know the phrase we as homeschoolers hear all the time, “It all counts as learning.” (and I often say!) It’s comforting. But sometimes it can feel a little vague. Does it all count? And how? I want to be clear. Unstructured play absolutely has a place. Free exploration, boredom, imagination, tinkering without an agenda. That matters deeply. What this research article from the University of Cambridge helped me understand is something slightly different. It looks at guided play...

Hi Reader! Quick reminder. Today is the last day to purchase the VIP Pass for the Leadership Life Skills Summit before the price increases to nearly double. If you’re anything like me, you probably registered for the Free Pass with good intentions… and then life got busy. Maybe you caught one or two sessions. Maybe none at all. Instead of feeling behind, here’s another option. Get the VIP Pass!! It gives you lifetime access so you can:• Watch on your schedule• Revisit your favorite sessions•...

Hi Reader! The Leadership Life Skills Summit begins tomorrow! If you’ve registered, I hope you’re looking forward to the conversations. If you haven’t yet, there’s still time. High school and teen years can feel high pressure.
