Today's guest, Kristin, joins us in this episode to discuss how to empower teens to unlock their happiness and true potential, providing insight on setting boundaries, intertwining life skills, strategies derived from communication, and more.
With a storied 25 year career in the public education system and a masters in school counseling, Kristin Bruce has not only observed but has delved deeply into the emotional and behavioral struggles that envelop many children and teens.

Her unwavering goal: to guide teens and pre-teens away from the shadows of anxiety and depression, steering them back onto a path where they rediscover their happiness and embrace a serene, fulfilling future.
With her vast experience, practical strategies, and a deeply rooted passion for youth mental health, Kristin Bruce remains a stalwart ally in championing the well-being of the younger generation.
