Have you ever wished there was a way to calm stress quickly—whether it’s your teen shutting down, emotions running high, or life just feeling overwhelming?
In this episode, I sit down with Barb Fletcher, a Certified HeartMath® Coach and Stress Mastery Educator, to explore simple, science-backed tools that help you shift from chaos to calm in just minutes a day.
You’ll learn:
✨ What “coherence” really means and why it matters for parents and teens
✨ A two-minute Quick Coherence® technique you can use anytime, anywhere
✨ How parents can model calm to help their teens regulate emotions
✨ Practical ways to manage test anxiety, overwhelm, and daily stress
When Barb walked me through the Quick Coherence® exercise, I immediately felt calmer and lighter—and this is something your teen can even practice quietly in class before a test or during stressful moments.
💡 Try the Quick Coherence® technique today with your teen and notice the difference.
