The Positively Healthy Mom

Overcoming Performance Anxiety | The Positively Healthy Mom with with Heather Sumlin

Everyday Courage: Helping Teens Handle Nerves, Pressure & Comparison | With Mental Coach Heather Sumlin Your teen doesn't have to be on a big stage to feel big pressure. Asking someone to homecoming, speaking in class, applying for a first job, trying out for a team or pageant – these "everyday performances" can feel huge for them. In this episode of The Positively Healthy Mom Podcast, host Laura Olinger (teen and parent wellbeing coach and founder of Positively Healthy Coaching) talks with Heather Sumlin, mental management coach and owner of Sumlin Solutions, about how to help teens manage nerves, build confidence, and thrive under pressure in school, sports, pageantry, performing arts, and life. Together they explore: ✨ What the Mental Management System is and how it was born from Heather's Olympic champion father 🧠 How self-image is formed and why it matters more than you think 🎤 Practical tools for handling nerves before a speech, tryout, date, or job interview 🙋‍♀️ How to shift from "What if I mess up?" to "What if this goes well?" 📱 How comparison (especially on social media) quietly erodes confidence 🏅 Why a parent's main job is to build self-image, not just chase achievements 🤝 How to match your teen's level of passion instead of pushing harder than they do Whether your teen is an athlete, a performer, in pageantry, or just trying to navigate everyday teen life, this conversation will give you language, tools, and mindset shifts you can start using with them right away. 👤 About Our Guest: Heather Sumlin Heather Sumlin is a long-time mental management coach and owner of Sumlin Solutions.
