Welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm Coach Sammy and I am so glad you are here.

The teen years can be fun and exciting, but also filled with self-doubt, insecurities, and lots of frustration.

I am here to help you along your teen journey and make sure you enjoy your teen years as

much as possible. Let's get started.

Hey, you guys. Welcome to the podcast today. I have Crystal, the parenting coach on the podcast. And I actually

wanted to do this episode for parents. If you're a teen, that doesn't mean you can't be listening.

And I love that I get to help parents of teens. It's awesome. And yeah, past roommates.

And past roommates. We shared a hotel room. That's how we met. It was awesome. And I love,

clients have kids that are neurodivergent, which means they are diagnosed with things like

maybe ADHD or ASC, which is like autism spectrum disorder, ODD, things like that. But I help

all parents. And the kind of, my kind of angle on it, I guess, or my take

out is that I teach connection based parenting. There's a lot of different names going
