In this episode, Lorraine Connell, founder of Peers Not Fears, sits down with life coach Kamini to explore how her teenage struggles shaped her work in leadership development and coaching. As a high performer and introvert, Kamini faced immense pressure to succeed, which led to social anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. These experiences have profoundly influenced her journey of self-discovery and now fuel her mission to help high achievers overcome self-sabotage, embrace their core values, and cultivate self-compassion.
Together, Lorraine and Kamini discuss:
- Kamini’s teenage years and the pressures of high achievement.
- The role of self-discovery and redefining success based on personal well-being.
- Strategies for helping teens and emerging adults understand their values.
- How people-pleasing and perfectionism impact mental health and relationships.
- Supporting high-achieving students experiencing burnout and stress.
- Parenting styles, self-reflection, and creating authentic connections with teens.
This inspiring conversation sheds light on the importance of empathy, self-awareness, and leadership beyond external achievements, making it a must-listen for teens, parents, and educators.
Key Takeaways:
