In this podcast I am joined by Natalie Costa. Natalie is a children's confidence coach, an author, a super tutor for BBC Bitesize and the creator of 'Power Thoughts'.
Natalie's work is incredibly powerful and important, she teaches children that it is ok to fail and make a mistake. Often children can have high levels of anxiety when it comes to getting things wrong, which leads to low confidence and low self belief. What Natalie does is help children to develop their confidence, build resilience, adopt a can do attitude and help children tap into the power of their mind, as well as articulate their feelings.
This was one of the most important podcasts I have done in the mental health space and discovering ways to help a young person with their confidence, mental health and overall well-being.
