Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm your host Sammy and today we are talking about five reminders that every teen needs to hear.

Hey guys, welcome to the podcast this week. How are all of you doing? Today's listener shout out is to

Katz. And Katz left a review for the podcast and she said, I started listening to this podcast

because I'll be heading into eighth grade and I'm a pretty anxious person and wanted some words

of advice. This podcast has really helped me in so many ways

to become a better and happier person. Totally recommend. Thank you for that review, Katz. I can't

believe school is about to start soon, you guys. Where did the summer go? Are you ready? I'm not.

Not yet. I'll get there.

So today's podcast came about because I have been traveling with my kids this past week and I spent some time in my old college town just doing some reminiscing and showing my kids like where I lived and where I ate and had classes and where I met their dad, all the cute little memories that I

had from being in college. And I have been doing a lot of thinking of when I first went to college

and what I wish I had known back then.

So today's episode is just some reminders for all of you because I think these are important

things to remember in your teens.

And I could probably make a list of 100 things that I wish I knew better when I was younger,

but we're just going to start with five today, okay?

Don't wanna overwhelm you.

Okay, so number one, if you spend your time in the past,

you will never move forward.

Okay, so our brains actually really like to hang out

in the past because we already know what happened.

The past is predictable.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the future, which leads to anxiety.
