Kicking off the first interview and episode of the new year talking about teens and stress. Excited to share ways that parents can help teens de-stress and better understand emotions. We also talk about the importance of SLEEP and how it can cause stress (lack of it). Speaking with Nicci Bontrager, a licensed professional counselor in this episode. She meets with clients in Austin, TX at Joyful Family Counseling and shares tips on her instagram: @JoyfulFamilyLife Listen to the tips she shares, and join the conversation with the community at @KristenDukeChats this week as we un-package STRESS. We are grateful for any iTunes reviews, too! If you have teens that would enjoy listening to the topic, have them find the Fist Bump Podcast with a corresponding episode on a similar topic comes out 2 days later, on Fridays. Nicci shares her thoughts with them on the topic, too.
