Mat Edvik — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 03:00:01 +0000

Last week we read an email from one of our listners who had a question about what to do because her friend always has a boyfriend. We were able to have the entire council today to respond to her question. There is a wealth of experience from both sides of this scenario in today’s discussion.

How Can I Trust?

Mat Edvik — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 14:47:27 +0000

We recently received an email form a lister who requested a podcast on how someone might start trusting others even though it is difficult for them. Today Summer and I discuss some ideas that begin to answer that question. Some of the ideas that we talk about are learning to trust yourself, starting small, keeping track of trustbuilding experiences, and more. Thanks to our listener for emailing. If one of our listeners is struggling with trusting others, there are probably more. We appreciate the chance to share what we have seen work for others with you.

Before I get into the podcast description I want to announce the addition of another member of the Teen Esteem Council. Her name is Brianna and, as you will find out in this podcast, she is wonderful.

Today’s podcast continues our discussion of the 4 pillars (I will give anyone a $25 gift certificate if they can come up with a better term for pillars than pillars) that we started last week. This week we talk about choices. Brianna has some great insights as we discuss why teenagers choose to do some of the things that they do.
