Where Teens Stop Guessing & Start Leading

Life Skills for Confidence was created because something important is missing...

Our teens are taught formulas, deadlines, & how to perform

but rarely how to understand themselves.

Generally no one teaches them how to regulate their emotions.

How to build healthy boundaries.

How to communicate without shutting down or exploding.

How to make decisions from clarity instead of pressure.

Confidence isn’t built through achievement alone.

It’s built through self-awareness.

This online course helps teens understand how their mind works, how their nervous system responds, what drives their choices, and who they actually are beneath comparison and expectation.

When a young person understands themselves,

they stop chasing approval.

They start making aligned decisions.

They feel calmer. Stronger. More steady.

This isn’t enrichment ..... It’s preparation for life.

Because every teen deserves the tools
to think clearly, regulate emotions, build healthy relationships,
and walk into the world with real confidence.

Seem Impossible?

Are you thinking this might work for others,

but not your kid?

We’ve been empowering Teens and Tweens with Life Skills since 2015, and because of our unique, relatable approach, the transformation is always confidence, connection, and self-love.

Life Skills are the Greatest Gift you can give your child!
Grades are important, but Life Skills equal Life Success now and as an adult.

Dawn Oliphant is a parent of Teen boys, as well as a powerhouse community figure. But Dawn was doubtful…

“my boys will never watch the lessons“

Fast forward and here we are with both Teen boys completing the course and Dawn seeing this as her Teen “success story”.

Each of her boys went from giving short answers to questions, looking down, fidgeting, and rarely making eye contact to now carrying on conversations and engaging with others. “We are all so much happier! Wow, what a difference it’s made working with Addie & Claudia!”

I hear it over and over:
  • Every day includes either an argument or shutting down!

  • I’m worried my Teen/Tween is making bad choices, but I don’t seem to have any control!

  • It feels like a losing battle, but I don’t want to give up!

My child lashes out at me – we’ve lost the connection we used to have!

And from Teens and Tweens, I hear this over and over:
  • Nobody listens to me!

  • I hate being treated like a little kid!

  • I’m so stressed out about school – actually about everything!

  • I hate the way I look

  • I feel awkward – it’s so hard to make friends

Image of a girl hugging her knees

Here’s why these behaviors and feelings

are happening: 

“When you get to the core of what’s driving those negative behaviors and attitudes, you’ll find someone who’s afraid and unsure of themself. 

Teens and Tweens lash out and shut down because they’re unsure of who they feel they need to be without knowing who they really are, and they’re afraid of what’s ahead.

When your Teen or Tween gets connected to their unique qualities and learns how to value and trust themselves, plus learns how to communicate effectively in spite of their emotions, their life will become fulfilling and meaningful.

With the right support and Life Skills, your Teen or Tween can feel empowered by who they are and gain the confidence needed to open up, trust themselves, feel connected and achieve their full potential.

Yes, that means your child is now a responsive and respectful young adult who is back to feeling connected to you!”

“Hi, I’m Addie Rausch,
Course Producer &Teen Mentor!"

It’s not easy being a parent to a teen or tween. Everyone talks about how difficult it is for them, and that’s true.... but parents are carrying a tremendous weight too. Behind the scenes, you’re managing constant worry, navigating emotional ups and downs, and trying to guide someone who is still learning how to understand themselves and the world.

The frequent battles, disagreements, broken promises, withdrawal, and moments of disrespect can be exhausting. What many parents don’t realize is that these behaviors often point to something deeper. When a young person struggles with self-love or lacks self-confidence, it can show up as anger, defensiveness, or shutting down completely.

Parents need support just as much as their children do. You are trying to lead, teach, and protect while also learning how to communicate with a growing mind and changing emotions. Having guidance, tools, and encouragement can make all the difference.... helping you stay patient, confident, and connected while your child develops the self-worth

and life skills they need to thrive. Let us help!

Who’s behind this Teen & Tween
Empowerment Movement?

Life Skills for Confidence is led by a mother-daughter team, Certified Teen Coach Practitioners, Claudia Mead McBride & Addie Rausch

Their daily passion is to empower youth by giving them the critical life skills necessary to be happy, successful, and responsible people now, and as they become young adults.

Claudia Mead McBride grew up in a poor home but became the first in her family to attend college, despite having no financial support. Believing education was her path out of poverty, she worked through her teens, saved diligently, and put herself through college.

That determination opened the door to international travel and eventually a successful career in real estate, where she became one of the top realtors in her brokerage, a developer, and a construction company owner.

Claudia’s journey has always been driven by determination.... the determination to create a better life despite the odds. Along the way, she proved that a clear sense of purpose, self-love, healthy living, effective communication, social skills, and coping skills create real transformation. From that foundation, true confidence naturally follows.... guiding her not only to build a better life for herself, but to help others do the same.

Claudia's daughter Addie Rausch, Mentor & Producer, helped her to find ways for Teens & tweens to gain insight as to who they are, become more self aware, integrate into society, and learn how to become the person they envision! She built experiences for them to help them understand.
