Having asked on Instagram, what you want to hear episodes about, someone said, "How can I help my teen build confidence" so here we are!

We discussed the Confidence conversation cards

Trusted Challenge:  https://kristenduke.com/trusted/

Straight from an Instagram LIVE discussion, where a mom asked: "How do I validate my teenager, I try to tell them all the right things and I still annoy them."

Lets chat!

I started this episode and less than a minute later, chaos happened in my kitchen, so you can hear the audio, but if you want to see the video, you can watch this episode on youtube here. 

The message I got from a mom recently said this, "My 15 year old got his permit an is eager to drive us around everywhere....{and I'm scared!}"

I answered my thoughts on that in this episode!

Phones! We love 'em and we love to hate 'em when it involved kids. Phones aren't going away, so learning how to navigate them in a TRUSTED way is always the goal!

The question I got from a mom in the community recently went like this:  "How often should you go through your kids phones? When you see thins in their phone that don't align with your values how do you handle it?" I answer in this podcast episode!

Is your teen ungrateful or are you just seeking "hits of joy" and don't get the response you were expecting or hoped for? (Hint: It's very normal if this is you!)

In this TRUSTED by your Teenager podcast episode, we chat about this in 10 minutes or less! Sharing about an experience when I was a teen, and how I've switched it up with my teenager, even though I've had my feelings hurt before!

If you found this helpful, would LOVE you to leave a review on the podcast/episode.

In this TRUSTED by your Teenager podcast episode, we chat about what to do if you don't like your teenagers friends. My goal is to give you bite sized tips for teens in under 10 minutes, and this one was under 7! 

This is the first time I recorded a YouTube video right alongside this, so if you prefer to watch, you can do that here. 

A few simple tips that might surprise you about what you can do if you don't like your teens friend. In this episode, I also mentioned: The TRUSTED Challenge: (you need to join this before you can join the private community, Team Trusted.)

I shared that inside that space, we discuss micro details on how to become more TRUSTED and also lessons on tough teen topics such as teens & friends.

Also mentioned, Confidence Chat Cards: 50 different scenarios on how to help your teenager boost their confidence. 

I'm always grateful when you share my content, comment, like, and if you want to listen on your favorite podcast platform, you can do that here: 

I often get asked for more clarification when I share about becoming trusted, so I explain that here, what that actually means. Join the TRUSTED challenge by Saturday night (July 27) we start Monday morning!

The TRUSTD Challenge info page. 

Piggybacking onto the last episode, I share a few more thoughts on the contemptuous teenager, as well as responding to another message from a mom who has an irritable teenager who doesn't want to go anywhere when mom plans fun. 

I always aim to be as gentle as possible, because I am not into mom shaming, and I got a little blunt here, because I love you!

You may enjoy the Trusted Challenge on July 29th, which I mention at the end here, my answer and solution to many things: Become TRUSTED by your teenager. 

Got this question for my "ask me anything" i posted on Instagram this last week: "Preteen is sooooo contemtuous and sarcatics. Wanna stop the behavior before she teenages."

Shared my thoughts on THAT in this episode AND about the challenge I have coming up. If you haven't already taken the parenting personality quiz, so that now to get in the side door for the challenge early!
