Ep. #446 | How to Foster Confidence, Emotional Intelligence and Personal Empowerment in Your Teens with Kristi Simons

By Jenn Pike | December 5, 2024

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kristi Simons, a former teacher turned teen life coach who’s on a mission to transform how we support our young people. Kristi finds fulfillment in teaching teenagers what she wishes she knew, equipping them with the very tools and life skills she needed so desperately in her youth. For her, true confidence lies in the actions we take. And it’s her heartfelt mission to continue to nurture that confidence within herself so that she sets an example for her own children, Hendrix and Beatrix, her family, her clients, and her community. She hopes to be their guide towards a future brimming with possibility… because anything is possible when you can be brave, trust yourself, and take action!

What You’ll Learn

  • The four critical “energetic bodies” that impact teen confidence and self-understanding
  • Why emotional intelligence is the missing piece in traditional education
  • Practical strategies for helping teens navigate complex emotions and limiting beliefs

Key Insights

As a mom of teens, I know firsthand how challenging these years can be. Kristi shares a revolutionary approach to teen development that goes far beyond academic achievement. We dive deep into:

  • Physical Energy: Understanding how environment and self-care impact teens
  • Mental Energy: Recognizing and reframing limiting beliefs
  • Emotional Energy: Learning to process feelings as “energy in motion”
  • Spiritual Energy: Connecting to a deeper sense of self and potential

Must-Hear Moment

Kristi shares an incredible story of a 19-year-old client who, instead of sending an angry text after a breakup, learned to sit with her emotions, breathe through them, and ask what she truly needed. This is the kind of emotional intelligence that can change a life.

Perfect For

  • Parents of tweens and teens
  • Educators
  • Anyone interested in personal development
  • Those looking to understand the inner world of young people
