Life coaching is not therapy. A life coach doesn’t diagnose, but they can work in conjunction with a doctor or licensed clinical counselor to help the client move forward and thrive.
Have you ever wondered how to help your teen see their anxiety as a strength rather than a weakness? In this episode of 'Latter-day Families Stand', host Amber Robbins welcomes Jill Freestone, an Anxiety & Emotional Resilience Coach, to share practical advice for parents and teens alike. With nearly one-third of all teens experiencing anxiety disorders, this conversation is both timely and crucial.

She offers actionable strategies for managing anxiety, such as creating an 'anxiety toolkit' and practicing 'worry time' and 'worry vacations'. These techniques not only help teens manage their anxiety but also improve their connection with family members. Jill’s insights are a beacon for parents looking to support their teens through challenging times. Tune in to discover how accepting and working through unpleasant emotions can empower your teen to thrive.
