Life coaching calls are one-on-one conversations with Rachelle about any topic that you need help with.

Life coaching is designed to help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings and where you might be getting stuck. Rachelle can help you uncover thought fallacies, resolve emotions, unravel conflicting messages, set goals, overcome obstacles, improve your relationships, and become who you want to be.

Coaching for Parents

Coaching can help when you:

• Desire greater confidence in your parenting

• Want to feel closer to your teen

• Feel afraid, anxious, and hopeless

• Struggle setting boundaries

• Feel stuck mentally or emotionally

• Don’t know how to talk to your teen

• Need new tips, strategies, and resources for parenting teens

• Worry you’ve lost the connection you used to have with your teen

• Aren’t sure what’s “normal” for teenagers

• Don’t know how to talk about difficult subjects

• Want to change how you react in specific situations

• Desperately need hope, peace, and empowerment

Coaching for Families

Rachelle also offers guided coaching for families. These sessions that are done over Zoom about pre-selected topics. There are three-session packages for $150 and single session packages for $60. These involve a lot more teaching (about 70% teaching and 30% talking) and you can learn more about them below!

If your family would like to regular coaching, that is also available. It is helpful to take one of the guided coaching packages/sessions first, but it is not necessary.

Coaching for Teens

Sometimes talking to another adult can help teens work through challenges with school, their complicated emotions, what they want to do in the future, and how to handle relationships with their peers.

Rachelle coaches teens individually through another company, Life Success for Teens. Their mission is to “equip young people with the life skills they need to navigate high school and college to find success in the ‘real world.’” The twelve-week program they run is FANTASTIC!

Schedule a call with Natalie Borrell to learn more.

Guided Coaching Packages For Families

These fun, interactive three-session packages are done over Zoom (with PowerPoint slides) and they cover pre-selected topics. They can be done by your whole family (ages 11 and up), or a parent and teen together. Each package is $150 and they are customizable so you can let Rachelle know what you feel like your family needs the most.

She also has some single guided coaching sessions for $60 each. Currently they are available on improving our mental health, making decisions, and loving our bodies/body image. Scroll below to learn more.

Harnessing Our Emotions

John Gottman said, “In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life.” In fact, Daniel Goleman estimates that “as much as 80% of adult ‘success’ comes from EQ.”

Teenagers experience a wide range of emotions throughout the day (sometimes throughout every hour) and they don’t have the calming influence of a fully developed prefrontal cortex. This is the perfect time for them to learn how to harness the power of their strong emotions to create the lives they want.

During these three 50-minute sessions you will cover topics like:

• What emotions are and what their purpose is

• Coping mechanisms

• Healthy and unhealthy ways of processing emotion

• The teen brain and emotion

• How to use emotions as fuel for action

• Motivation

• Four things we can do to create more happiness in our lives

• How to turn off your anxiety alarm

During this course you will learn how to recognize, understand, resolve, and appreciate all of your emotions so you can live a happier, healthier life. Reach out to her at rachelle@theinspiredteen.com or book a free 30-minute call below to discuss your options.

Let’s Talk Tech

Andy Crouch said, “If there’s one thing I’ve discovered about technology, it’s that it doesn’t stay in its proper place on its own. If we aren’t intentional and careful, we’ll end up with a quite extraordinary mess.”

We are SURROUNDED by screens, and there is so much our we all need to know and understand about how to manage them. During these three sessions you will discuss:

• Boredom (why teens get bored more easily than adults) and the dopamine cycle

• Video/Mobile games (why we crave them and ways they can be dangerous)

• Why friends are so important to teens (teen development)

• The Imaginary Audience and how it’s affected by social media

• Social Media (pros and cons, how to use it in a healthy way)

• Predators and sextortion

• Self-objectification and self-esteem

• How to recognize when screens are in their proper place in our lives and how to be more deliberate in our screen usage

• Ways we can avoid (and recognize) addiction

• Bias, advertising, selective truths, and cognitive distortions

This is a great course to take together, because it opens up conversations without it turning into a lecture! Email her at rachelle@theinspiredteen.com for more information on this amazing guided coaching package or book a call below.

Single Guided Coaching Calls

These are single one-hour coaching calls, and they are also done over Zoom. Each has PowerPoint slides and handouts that go along with them and they are available for $50 each.

Improving Our Mental Health

More teens are struggling with their mental health today than ever before. According to Dr. Lisa Damour in her new book, The Emotional Life of Teenagers, one of the reasons is a shift in the way we view psychological distress and how we are defining mental health.

In this session you will discuss:

• What mental health is and isn’t

• How to recognize mental illness and when to seek help

• The pros and cons of stress

• How to deal with overwhelm

• How to turn off your anxiety alarm

• Depression and how to recognize it

• Screens and social media and how you can keep them in the proper place in your life

• Ten things you can do to improve your mental health

This single session pairs well with the three-session package on harnessing our emotions, since they overlap. However, just this single session will really help you and your teen have a better understanding of what mental health is and some science-proven things you can do to improve it.

Making Decisions

Teens, especially older ones, have to make so many important decisions! They have to choose classes, apply for colleges, decide who to date/be friends with, and think about what they will do in the future.

In this call, Rachelle will teach you about integrated decision-making, which is looking at how our bodies, hearts (emotions), minds, and peers all affect the decision-making process. You will discuss:

• Sleep, Maslow’s hierarchy, and our physical needs

• What emotions are and how to resolve them

• Fear and how it impacts our decisions

• ANTS - Automatic Negative Thoughts and cognitive distortions

• Peers and peer pressure

• The social feedback loop and the Imaginary Audience

After this call, your teen(s) will have a much better plan for what to do when they are faced with a big decision.

Learning to Love Our Bodies

We are surrounded by images of what our bodies “should” look like. It can be really hard to look past that and learn to love not only our bodies, but ourselves as a whole.

In this call, you will each learn about five things you can do to love your body more. You will:

• Learn about all the amazing things your bodies can do

• Start developing a habit of gratitude

• Understand self-objectification and how it affects us (this section is SO important for every teen to hear)

• Get to know your own body and learn how to take care of it in a way that works for you

• Learn how your thoughts can affect your body image and brainstorm some positive thoughts you can think about your bodies

Rachelle will also teach about social media, how to define body image, how to see bodies as instruments instead of ornaments, discuss 12 things we can do to fall in love with our bodies, and more!

This call covers topics like:

• Being a good friend

• Why friends are so important to teens

• Danger signs of unhealthy relationships

• Recognizing friend posers
