How Strength Training Helps Teens Manage Anxiety and Build Confidence
Anxiety and stress are on the rise for teens, but what if there was a powerful, science-backed way to help? In this episode, I talk with Jensi Shaw, founder of Vessel Initiative, LLC, about how resistance training and movement can transform mental health.
Jensi shares her personal journey—from believing she wasn’t an athlete to discovering how strength training helped her heal from grief and build confidence. Now, she’s on a mission to help teens harness the power of movement to develop resilience, manage anxiety, and step into leadership.
🌟 In this episode, we cover:
✅ How strength training reduces anxiety and stress
✅ The connection between movement and emotional resilience
✅ Why teens don’t need to be athletes to benefit from exercise
✅ How parents can support their teens in building mental strength
🚀 FREE EVENT FOR TEENS! Jensi is hosting a virtual leadership workshop at the end of April to help teens develop confidence, vision, and leadership skills. Don’t miss this opportunity!
