Between the pressure of holiday and end-of-semester STRESS, social media, academic struggles, mood swings, and communication breakdowns, even strong families can feel stuck.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
You can build emotional resilience together.
These 4 tools are the foundation I teach in my Resilience Coaching Family Membership, and they’re already changing families from the inside out.
Help your teen slow down, reflect, and recognize what’s really going on inside.
Shift focus from stress to strength with quick practices that calm the brain and build joy.
Learn how to gently replace negative thoughts with truth (and easy-to-use Scripture passages)
Practice a simple "listening" prayer and guide your teen toward deeper trust and peace.

“This gave me language to help my daughter talk about what she’s feeling without shutting down.”
“It helped me understand what’s happening in me, not just my teen.”
“These conversations are changing how our whole family communicates.”

I know what it’s like to watch your child struggle and feel powerless to fix it. Years ago, my teenage son was shutting down emotionally, failing classes, and losing motivation. I was heartbroken… and I didn’t know what to do.
In desperation, I prayed: “God, this kid needs a life coach.”
After working with students and families for 20 years in youth ministry, I became the coach I was praying for. And now I’m here to walk with you, too.
It's my joy and mission to help students know their worth and think positively about themselves so they can pursue their dreams and goals with confidence, resilience and success!
