Show Notes

In this enlightening conversation, we are joined by Kirsten McCormick. Musician turned youth advocate, and mother of five from Texas who is revolutionizing teen experiences. We discuss the need for in-person connections among teenagers in this digital age, and the innovative programs Kirsten has developed, including Teen Connect and Teen Connect Adventures. Programs that are helping teens develop meaningful social connections, improve their mental health and foster their creativity. 

The conversation emphasizes fostering independence in children, the significance of real-world experiences, and the valuable lessons learned through failure. Kirsten discusses the importance of allowing kids to make mistakes in a safe environment and highlights the significance of recognizing each teen as an individual, and the transformative power of travel in fostering empathy and personal growth. 

Kirsten shares her journey of grounding in authenticity and the lessons learned from her children, particularly in navigating emotions. The conversation culminates in the importance of creating opportunities for teens to explore and connect with the world around them.
