Hi, I'm Kids Life Coach, Julienne
Hi, I’m Kids Life Coach Julienne. I am on a mission to inspire and empower children to become the best version of themselves. When I was a kid I struggled to find ways to maintain a positive mindset. I often succumbed to stress and allowed it to get the better of me. As a result I grew up overly-anxious, lacked self-confidence and suffered from performance anxiety. Looking back, if I’d had a coach or mentor to help guide me through those psychologically tough periods and teach me tools and skills to overcome the mental challenges, it could’ve helped me tremendously. I believe nowadays that if we teach children about reframing stress, they can learn to use it to their advantage rather than allowing stress to run the show. My parents were good people but they only knew how to parent me with the “tools” they had at the time (how they were parented and any other ideas that seemed reasonable to them at the time). Most parents are trying to do the best they can but due to busy schedules, time limitations, and a lack of knowledge and access to parenting resources, they don’t always know what to do to help their child through the struggles and challenges that life brings. I’ve always enjoyed children and it gives me great pleasure seeing them succeed. It’s a passion of mine to help a struggling child with their challenges. Most of the time it’s the child’s mindset or narrative they’ve created in their mind that holds them back from their success. If we teach children to focus on the things they can control i.e. mindset, self-regulation, a winning attitude, healthy food choices, exercise, sufficient sleep, positive communication skills, and self-care, they can learn to face life’s challenges with aplomb. I often say… “If I’d only known this when I was a child!”. The things I work on with kids are not usually taught in school and they can make a significant difference in a child’s perspective on life. All of my coaching packages are tailored to the specific needs of the child and family. Unfortunately, kids don’t come with an instruction manual and each child is unique so sometimes having a person with a knowledgeable and caring perspective that is neutral to the family can be helpful. I am also happy to coach parents when new strategies are needed for tackling issues.
