Whether you’re a teen girl who struggles with self-consciousness or a parent who wants to understand your daughter better - this episode offers hope, understanding, and Christ-centered encouragement. 🩷

You’ll Learn:

• The key differences between shyness and social anxiety

First things first - a quick apology! I was out of town this week, and my regular Friday episode didn’t post like it was supposed to. 😅

In this episode, I’m clearing up one of the biggest questions I get: 👉 What’s the difference between coaching and counseling - and which one do I actually need?

Here’s what you’ll learn: ✨ The main focus of counseling - healing, understanding your past, and emotional well-being ✨ The purpose of coaching - personal growth, mindset, confidence, and moving forward ✨ How both can be valuable at different times in your life ✨ Why I offer faith-based coaching for teen girls and how it’s different from therapy

If you’ve ever felt unsure whether you need help processing the past or guidance for your next steps, this episode will help you figure that out.

Remember when everyone wanted super-thin eyebrows? Or when the “perfect” body type was completely different than it is now? The so-called ideal body is always changing. In this episode, we’re talking about body image, comparison, and how to step off that exhausting treadmill of trends so you can focus on what actually matters: who God says you are.

“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)

Have you ever made a choice you instantly regretted? Maybe you told a lie, snuck around, or made a decision you knew wasn’t right and had to deal with the fallout later. We’ve all been there. The truth is, sin always comes with consequences.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a personal story from my teenage years, then walking through six major consequences of sin and disobedience that the Bible clearly outlines. We’ll look at what Scripture says about:

• Separation from God
• Judgment
• Loss of inheritance
• Corruption of character
• Broken relationships
• God’s loving discipline

We’ll also talk about the sowing and reaping principle from Galatians 6:7 and how your choices - whether to sow to the flesh or to the Spirit - shape your future.

Just remember, while sin brings brokenness, God’s grace is always greater.

Have you ever caught yourself saying “yes” when you really wanted to say “no”? Or maybe you feel like it’s your responsibility to keep everyone happy—even if it leaves you drained and invisible? If so, you’re not alone. People-pleasing is a trap many of us—especially Christian teen girls—fall into, but here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck there.

In this episode, we’re unpacking:

• Why people-pleasing shows up (and the brain science behind it)
• The hidden costs it has on your peace, relationships, and faith
• Practical and faith-based steps to break free and start living with God-given confidence

You’ll leave encouraged and equipped with tools to set healthy boundaries, live more authentically, and rest in the truth that God’s approval is enough.

Do you ever feel like there’s just too much to do and not enough time to do it? According to the American Psychological Association, 36% of teen girls say they feel overwhelmed by stress. A huge part of that stress comes from juggling school, sports, friendships, family responsibilities, part-time jobs, and personal goals.

In this episode, I’ll show you how effective time management skills don’t just help you get more done - they actually build your confidence. When you’re on top of your schedule, you prove to yourself that you can handle it, and that proof fuels your self-belief.
