Our Editor's Take

Sami Halvorsen, the host of the podcast, The Teen Life Coach, thinks that pre-adulthood should be fun and exciting. It is a time when young people can learn more about their personalities. They can uncover their place in the world. There is so much to look forward to.

But Sami also knows that most teens suffer from self-doubt and insecurities. There is a lot of pressure on them to fit in, succeed, dress a certain way, and present themselves on social media. All of that can lead to crippling anxieties and severe depression. Coach Sami, as she likes to refer to herself, will not stand for that.

As a teenager, Sami also suffered from anxiety, so she understands it well. But neither she nor her parents knew what to call it. It was only when her teen daughter started getting withdrawn and losing her joy in life that Sami understood what it was. The daughter suffered from anxiety so debilitating that she had to stop going to school. In a desperate move, Sami enrolled her in a five-week rehabilitation program. But it was only after five months that they finally saw improvements.

This experience changed Sami's perspective on teens' mental health. She saw how the treatment improved her daughter's life. As a result, she wanted other people to experience that as well. So she resumed her studies and became a certified life coach specializing in teens. With her podcast, The Teen Life Coach, Sami continues her work on a larger scale. It is a place for her to provide practical tools for teens and their parents. She wants teens to become more confident, happy, and content with their lives.

In The Teen Life Coach, Sami talks about lighthearted topics as well as serious issues. Some episodes discuss dating or homework, while others talk about self-harm. She shares anecdotes from her own life, as well as struggles her clients had to face. The goal is to make teens feel like they are less alone and can face everything that comes their way. New episodes debut weekly.

235: Alyson Stoner: Growing up in Hollywood, becoming mentally healthy, and finding happiness
Disney star Alyson Stoner joins me on the podcast this week to talk about their own personal journey with anxiety and what they are doing now to help youth overcome anxiety and mental health struggles. Behind the scenes, Alyson suffered from a variety of health conditions that affected every area of their life. Their personal healing journey led them to their truest passion, studying the mind-body connection and creating tools alongside experts that help people heal and empower themselves. Alyson Stoner is a multi-disciplinary artist known for their on-screen acting, dancing, singing work in 200+ TV shows, movies, and music videos, and as an online content creator and health advocate. Appearing in franchises such as Step Up and Camp Rock to dancing with the likes of Missy Elliott and Eminem, Alyson has been producing their own content since their late teens, including the Simplexity podcast and mental health platform Movement Genius, building a growing online community of 5.2m+ folks. Much of Alyson’s passion is invested in advocating for improved mental health resources and long-term prevention strategies for youth and underrepresented communities. They’re currently working on concrete solutions that support artists and entertainers who face unique psychological, physical, professional, financial, and social challenges. Their "Toddler-to-Trainwreck" video is an introduction to a much larger and urgent conversation that they hope to address in Dear Hollywood. Dear Hollywood is a tell-all podcast about the “toddler-to-trainwreck” pipeline that young artists face in the entertainment industry. Following their viral op-ed, host Alyson unpacks the cultural phenomenon of child stardom from the most comprehensive, illuminating vantage point ever offered. Incorporating expertise from child development specialists, artist-to-artist conversations with famous child performers, and Alyson’s own never-been-shared stories, the audience is invited into a powerful and proactive conversation around high-performing children, while simultaneously gaining deep insight and wisdom for their own journey towards healing and self-empowerment.
