How do you empower young people while staying true to yourself?In what ways does your own self-love shape how you guide and support the next generation?How have your own life experiences influenced the way you show up as a parent, mentor, or leader?Join me for this episode as I explore 'Getting to the Heart of our Youth' with my guest, Marilou Coombe, an experienced coach, youth worker, and advocate for young people.Our conversation shows the heart is found at the intersection of self-care, conscious parenting, and reconnecting with our youthful essence.Reflecting on her experiences growing up in Lebanon and moving to Australia, to the wisdom she’s gained mentoring youth and raising her own children, Marilou shares powerful insights on societal values, parenting in today’s world, and the importance of nurturing a strong relationship with ourselves.We talk about the importance of connecting with our inner child, how we can connect with young people, and the parallels between puberty and menopause.Marilou unpacks the challenges that today’s youth face in an increasingly fast-paced and disconnected world, and emphasises how important it is that we support young people by modelling authenticity, self-care, and emotional resilience.When you tune in, you’ll also hear Marilou speak about:The Turn-On of Slowing Down The Dance Between “Being” and “Doing” The healing that is available through play & joy Tips for parenting in the Digital Age How Youth Are Our Mirrors How we can be the best role models Reclaiming Youthfulness in MidlifeMarilou’s wisdom is a potent reminder that self-care is not selfish, and raising thriving, emotionally aware youth starts with how we show up for ourselves.
