In this powerful episode of Your Parent Coach, I sit down with Justin Kelly — youth mentor, martial arts coach, and co-founder of the Bully-Proof movement — to explore what it really takes to raise confident, resilient teens in today’s world.
What began as a father-son project quickly grew into a shared mission to help other kids build the confidence to face life head-on. He credits everything to his son, and their partnership has become the heartbeat of the Bully-Proof program.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The emotional spark behind starting Bully-Proof — and why it’s always been a family mission
- How parenting with his son has redefined connection, communication, and leadership
- Why teens today are struggling with self-worth — and how Justin and Corbin help them rebuild it
- The unique blend of self-defence, mindset, and emotional awareness that sets his program apart
- Simple, practical tips that any parent can use today to better support a teen struggling with confidence or bullying
Justin reminds us that raising strong teens isn’t about forcing toughness — it’s about modelling belief, emotional resilience, and real connection.
