Moving Forward After Making A Mistake You're Ashamed Of - Interview with Ben Pugh

Ever made a mistake you're not proud of - like cheating on a test, lying to your friend or crashing the family car when your parents said you couldn't have it? Yep, welcome to being human. As part of growing up (and even once we are!), we will inevitably make poor choices along the way and do some things we wish we could take back. Unfortunately we can't do that, but the truth is - we don't need to, and let my special guest on the show today,  Parent & Teen Coach, Ben Pugh, explain why. He has a powerful (and somewhat amusing!) story of how he accidentally set his school bus on fire in his teens, but what's even more profound is the story that follows and how he turned that experience into something that's served his life for the better - he even ended up becoming a school principal for 5 years!   Tune in to hear a really fun yet inspiring chat with Ben as we share important tools and strategies to stop yourself from spiralling into shame after doing something you know is out of integrity with who you really want to be in the world. Whether it's ended up with severe consequences at school or from your parents, the worst part is often the ''identity'' people can label you with and making you feel that those mistakes are all you are - but let Ben open your mind to realise that you have a CHOICE over how you define any mistake and how that gives you the power to define what comes next!  For more info on Ben, visit his website: www.benpughcoaching.com  To book a free mini session with him, www.benpughcoaching.com/mini To check out his podcast for parents of teens on iTunes, click here: Impact - Parenting with Perspective Want to feel more confident and less stressed every day?
