On this episode, the squad talks about anxiety and adolescence. While our kiddos aren’t teenagers yet (though Naya’s about to be mom to a tween and Alexis feels like she’s parenting a teen lol), we’re always happy to learn more about ways to help them through tough moments. Okay, that’s putting it lightly - when we think back to ourselves being teens, there’s a lot of cringing and we aren’t looking forward to what’s to come. To learn more about ways to support our older children and teens with anxiety, we’ve brought on our guest, Courtney Harris.

As a Life Coach for Teens and Parents, Courtney (she/her) supports tweens, teens, and young adults in finding their voice and growing confidence. Courtney supports parents in practicing self-care, maintaining personal growth, and developing balanced sensitivity towards the process their rapidly-changing child is creating. Sessions with Courtney lovingly guide families in overcoming isolation, as they develop the trust, communication, and connection that’s crucial for a life of ease.

Courtney is proud to elevate the voices and needs of each client she has the honor of serving. She is dedicated to inclusive, anti-oppressive work in both her personal and professional relationships and in the systems she lives and works in.
