“You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you."— Brian Tracy

Host Julia Howe starts by discussing teen health and doctor appointments. She offers these tips:

  • Prioritize mental health by finding a support system and knowing when to ask for help.
  • Build habits that future-you will be grateful for, like staying active, eating well, and actually sleeping at a reasonable hour.
  • Be aware of relationships—whether that means friendships, dating, or just surrounding yourself with people who lift you up instead of dragging you down.

She advocates for asking questions. Be involved. The choices we make today shape who we become tomorrow. If we want to be strong, healthy, and ready for whatever life throws at us, we have to start taking charge—now. Your health. Your body. Your future. Own it.

In segment two, Julia tackles dress codes. Schools argue that dress codes exist for three main reasons:

  1. To prevent distractions.
  2. To promote professionalism.
  3. To ensure safety.

Julia breaks down the rules and offers better suggestions. Dress codes should be about making sure students feel comfortable and respected, not about controlling what they wear. Schools should be places of learning, not places where students—especially girls, students of color, and religious minorities—are constantly policed over their appearance.

Julia’s final message: “Your voice, your power, your future!”
