Be the Change: A Podcast for Teens and the Adults who Love Them

What does hope mean to you?

How can you make today an experiment?

What if life is just an experiment? How would that feel? Would it take some of the pressure off?
In this episode, we talk about the things that sometimes get in our way and then explore a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson and see how we can apply it to our life every day - especially when we get stuck!

What gives you energy?

This week, we are setting the stage with a big question that will lead into the next few episodes about optimizing energy so have some fun and play with this one! 

What do you do on bad days?

This week we are going to be talking about tackling bad days.
While I will argue that there aren’t many entirely bad days, just days with bad parts, it is important for us to realize that hard things happen and that we will all encounter challenges.  
So, that leads us to this week’s big question: “What do you do on bad days?”
Recently, my bad days have gotten SO much easier to navigate thanks to Brian Johnson and my daily protocol in the Heroic app - check it out here:

Can you stick to things when they get tough?

In this episode we are going to explore the idea of discipline and talk about whether or not teens are capable of being disciplined
(Spoiler: the answer is "Yes!").
Our big question is about being able to stick to things when they get challenging instead of giving up too soon and that leads us to spend some time pondering values and motivation.
I can't wait to hear your answers! 

How can you be great right now?

I honestly believe that this generation has answers that the rest of us haven’t figured out and that is why I’ve devoted my career to empowering them with the knowledge and tools they need to take their understanding and their work far beyond anything either of us could possibly imagine.  I truly want each individual to think of how they want to be and then to BE the change THEY want to see in the world.
 
This week’s question is about whether or not that can happen right NOW.  Most people have a great vision for what they want in the future or what they hope to accomplish one day, but one day starts right now and waiting for someday isn’t a stellar strategy - especially for anyone questioning their own strengths or greatness.
 
So, the official question is - “How can you own your greatness right now?”. 

What useful things do you every day?

This week we are going to be exploring your GOOD habits.
There’s a lot of discussion about bad habits and we might get into those in a future episode, but for this week, our big question is going to be “What useful things do you do every day?”
So, instead of talking about what you might want to stop doing, we are going to explore and celebrate all the little things that help set you up for success and we're going to make sure that those little everyday things set you up for success with the big things.

What are you grateful for?

This week, we are going to be covering one of my favorite topics - gratitude!
I share a little bit about how this concept changed my life in big ways and I also share some impressive statistics I just learned about gratitude.
Of course, I ultimately want you to spend some time pondering our big question - What are YOU grateful for?

How do you know you’re ready?

The big question for this episode is, "How do you know you're ready?".
As always, there's no definitive answer but there's a good chance you already know the answer for yourself and this week, Patty shares some thoughts and personal experiences to help you get closer to clarity and action.
