In this episode, I’m joined by 14-year-old Makena—my very first student guest—who’s been part of my teen coaching program for over a year. With her parents’ full permission (and her own strong desire to share), Makena opens up about what coaching has taught her, how it’s helped her through some really tough moments, and the tools she now uses to handle emotions, friendships, and the pressure to have it all figured out.

We talk about big feelings, self-worth beyond achievements, frenemies, body image, and confidence—and how learning to stay grounded in the present moment has changed everything for her.

This conversation is an honest look at what it means to grow up in today’s world—and how support, curiosity, and a few simple tools can help teens feel more steady, more empowered, and more like themselves.

What you’ll hear:

• How Makena describes coaching in her own words
• The emotional tools that help her move through tough feelings
• Her shift away from perfectionism and pressure
• Lessons she’s learned about healthy friendships and boundaries
• How her self-talk and confidence have transformed over time
• What she’d tell her younger self—and girls going through something hard

If you’ve ever wondered what teen coaching is really like, or you’re parenting a daughter who’s struggling quietly—this is the episode to press play on.
