About us

Claudia McBride and Addie Rausch are youth empowerment mentors dedicated to giving tweens and teens the critical life skills necessary to be happy, successful, and responsible people now and as they become adults.
For both my mom, Claudia, and me, life has proven that confidence and success grow from a foundation of strong communication, healthy living, social and coping skills, self-love, and a clear sense of purpose.
Claudia’s journey was powered by determination, no matter the odds, she chose to rise higher and create a better life. She showed again and again that when you cultivate these essential skills and values, confidence naturally follows.
Her example continues to inspire me to help others discover their own strength. Together, we now guide teens and families to build the same confidence that transforms challenges into opportunities. What she lived, I now teach: that true empowerment begins within, and once rooted, it creates a ripple effect that changes every area of life.

And just like most women who are driven to hold a career and raise a family, for Claudia, life presented an array of blessings and challenges. But she proved to herself and others over and over that success always came down to key pillars: effective communication skills, effective social skills, a clear sense of purpose and self-love – all of which results in self-confidence. And sharing these tenets with her kids, grand kids and even the kids within the community has been a mission for many years.
In fact, Claudia’s youngest daughter, Addie, became so inspired by her mom’s wisdom after experiencing the real-life results first-hand, that even though she had started a successful career, Addie took a mission-driven leap of faith, joined forces with her mom, and together, since 2015, they have been empowering tweens and teens with those important life skills so youth can create a better world for themselves.
Even though most tweens and teens are superstars at accessing any information they’re curious about, their communication skills, social skills, sense of purpose and self-love are frequently lacking, which means confidence is missing! And when confidence is lacking, opportunities are missed.
So, through mentorship, online courses, teen social hours and a variety of empowering resources, Claudia and Addie are fueled by the difference they can see in the tweens and teens they work with.
For Claudia and Addie, there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a withdrawn, overwhelmed or agitated tween or teen transform into a confident, focused, empowered youth who’s on a mission to make a difference for themself and others!

It’s not about including or excluding, it’s about making sure no one feels left out. As Claudia developed our Life Skills for Confidence course, we focused on building something that would reach every teen, no matter their background. That meant creating lessons rooted in values that speak to the heart:
Gratitude, Kindness, Joy, Peace, Forgiveness, Love, and Helping others. Here’s what I haven’t said enough: Every single one of our 24 video lessons is biblically based. She pulled wisdom from the Bible and translated it into practical life skills for today’s teens. Some people connect through science, others through psychology, and some through faith, and we honor it all.
We even use YouTube and Google! But the origin of every principle we teach can be traced back to Scripture. This doesn’t mean we preach. I would never share my personal faith in a lesson unless I knew my students were also Jesus followers. That’s not my place.
But for those of you who are, you’ll feel it.
The love. The light. The peace. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or teen this course was made with purpose, compassion, and faith.
