TEENS Need Emotional Intelligence to Succeed | Kristi Simons

Want to unlock your teen’s true potential? Start by turning down the volume on their inner critic. Michelle MacDonald and Kristi Simons dive deep into how emotional intelligence, energy management, and mindset can transform young lives—and even offer profound lessons for adults. Kristi breaks down the four types of energy that shape our daily experiences—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—and shares how teens can develop self-awareness to overcome anxiety, self-doubt, and fear. With compelling stories, including a moving account of a 14-year-old girl finding her inner truth through guided meditation, Kristi shows how shifting from drama to empowerment is not only possible but truly life-changing.
