138: My High Schoolers Open Up About Expectations, Victories, and Finding Their Voice

It can feel like the world's weight is on their shoulders. Teenagers navigate an intricate dance of academic pressures, social media comparison, and the desire to discover their unique paths. Join me as my high school students talk about the authentic struggles and triumphs of today's youth.  This episode peels back the layers of family dynamics, sporting anxieties, and the role of media in shaping learning experiences.  I made a special change in this episode for my really cool high school students, who revealed the significant impact that a nurturing home and parental guidance have in providing stability. Students also showcase how turning to podcasting offers an outlet for support and connection, helping others navigate the academic and athletic fields more easily. We reflect on the intersection of parenting and faith and how these crucial elements guide the next generation.  Listen as we talk about: 03:05 Teenagers Discussing Pressures and Media Use 10:29 Teenagers' Pressures and Perspectives 16:00 Parenting, Faith, and Podcasting for Teenagers 23:00 Teenagers' Perspective on Podcasting and Faith   Notes from Natalie: Sign Up for Natalie’s Newsletter : https://marvelous-designer-6863.ck.page/fd348899af Seeking Health: www.natalietysdal.com/favorites  Before you go on Camera: https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatraining Podcast Launch Guide: https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatrainin Anti Burnout Worksheet: https://marvelous-designer-6863.ck.page/b6d4b2c9d2   Connect with Natalie   🎙 Listen to the Podcast!  https://link.chtbl.com/tdlFA4aN 👉 Connect with Natalie!  Website: https://www.natalietysdal.com  🤓 Read the Blog!  https://www.natalietysdal.com/blog 🎥 Watch the show on video!  https://www.youtube.com/ntysdal 📧 Email me!
