Teen Esteem Council Podcast
Mat Edvik and Summer Morris discuss ways to help teenage girls increase their self-esteem and the level of happiness they are experiencing. "Mat Edvik has helped me overcome many personal issues over the time I've known him. He has known me at my weakest, most vulnerable state and has been extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I could come to him with anything, whether it be regarding my issues with depression, finding a reason to live, and finding purpose in life. He helped me discover that I was valueable and deserved to live an incredible life." Laura A. San Diego CA

As a teen, are you a free spender or are you someone who puts money away for college or other big purchases? What do you spend your money on?

We forget how many times responsibility has been a topic for our podcast. But we keep seeing people NOT beng responsible, or taking responsibility for their actions that we feel like it is worth discussing again. Some topics just need reemphasizing.
We discuss the importance of being accountable, that consequences isn't necessarily a bad word, and how being responsible can increase your trust in yourself and the level of trust...

Some of our listeners are in that no man's land of the last summer vacation before college starts. The one right after graduating high school. I have asked a few of the kids that I know if this summer seems different. They have all said, "no" so far... but, the article that we discuss today shares some things that you can give up after you are through with high school... and for those who are still in high school and mi...

We are excited to introduce our new Council member... Morgan. She is a tremendous girl who has a lot of insight and who has a lot to offer to our audience.
And with that introduction, let me introduce today's episode:
Nothing to do this summer... Start a business.
Bored... Get to know yourself
We are talking about things that teens, who don't have a job, can do over the summer.
We put Emily on the spot to guess what the new peer pressure is... she guessed it... social media. In this most recent episode we talk about how to navigate through the pressures that social media has created.
Today Mat and Summer disagree about the nature of laziness, then one of them is convinced that they were wrong. We also give some tips on how to overcome laziness and what some of the benefits of being productive are.
It has been a little while... we are back. Life was a little crazy for all of us over the last couple of months. Summer had a baby, McKenzee and Emily were elected to student council, and Chantel has been working and singing her guts out. We carved out some time to record a podcast today and feels good to be back in the saddle, so to speak. What is that you ask? What has been keeping me so busy?... Just work and making homeade yogu...
Today Summer and I discuss what happens to the way we feel when we say negative things about other people.
Today,
Summer and I talk about how you can boost your confidence. We try to keep it non-cheesy, but Summer struggles to do that. That being said, just because some of her advice is cheesy does not mean that it doesn't work.
Today Mat and Summer talk about how you can tactfully end a friendship that you have realized is unhealthy for you.
Today's podcast is for those of our listeners who are of dating age, but haven't had the experience of being asked out yet. There is some great discussion about what a girl can do if they find themselves in this circumstance.
Today's podcast is a quick discussion about building a vocabulary that can help you describe how you are feeling. Sometimes just being able to put our feelings into precise words can help others understand and help us to feel understood.
Today's topic is about attitudes that pre-teens (Summer defines them as 8-12... I think she is crazy) show. The article that she takes the idea from is letting parents know how to deal with these attitudes. We try to give some advice to our younger listeners and to older siblings.
