Teens Done Different ~ Christy & Julie Perkins

What’s your point of view about “goodbye”? Are you like Shakespeare’s Juliet who said “Parting is such a sweet sorrow”? Sad because she and Romeo were parting – yet “sweet” in the knowing that she’ll be seeing him again? Or are you a “I’m not good at goodbyes” type person? Join Christy and Julie as they explore the energy of “goodbye” through its word origins and tales of their collective goodbyes. Listen in to learn about the tools and techniques they use for fond farewells http://julieoperkins.com/

How do you view change? As something inevitable? That you have no control over? Or as something positive? That you can co-create with? What if change was a journey – and not a destination? One that could be as speedy or as easy as you desire? Join Christy and Julie as they explore what change can mean to teens and parents. They’ll explore typical transitions of schools, work, relationships, bodies and life! Through life stories and experiences, learn how they “do” transitions and continue to ride the “fast train” of change! http://julieoperkins.com/

Parents, is your relationship with your teens working for you? If not, what do you desire it to be? What if you could co-create a new relationship with speed and ease – to the benefit of everyone? Tune in to explore the world of coaching, a place where questions and deep listening exist, with no judgement. Add to that a heaping helping of consciousness – that intuitively perceived knowledge of something – and you’ll have a formula to follow as you switch from all the “duties” of parenthood to “being” a conscious coach. We’ll look at creating the space for change, designing the agreement between you and your teen, asking powerful questions and listening actively on several levels. http://julieoperkins.com/

Parent’s Edition #2 is for both Parents AND Teens and will focus on “speaking up” courageously on all kinds of topics! Two parent / teen “teams” will boldly step forward to talk about ANYTHING in their lives that they’ve been hesitant to discuss until now (Sex – Drugs – and Rock-n-Roll included!) Mom Julie Perkins and her son, Connor plus mom Christine McIver and her daughter, Alisha will energetically create an expansive, non-judgmental space for all kinds of conversations to come forward. Tune in to hear what these teens and parents are interested in – struggling with – and creating as a supportive “space” for more choice and different possibilities to emerge. They’ll also share their favorite tool or technique to BE courageous! http://julieoperkins.com/

The “teen” years: so many projections and expectations of what they could be – SHOULD be – ought (never) be! Not just for the teens themselves but also for the parents and anyone (relatives, neighbors, teachers, guardians, coaches, scout leaders, etc) who has teens in their lives. In this special Parent’s Edition of Teens Done Different, hear from mom and life coach Julie Oreson Perkins, as she talks about navigating an already “energetically charged” terrain, especially when the tides turn and the waters get rough for teens at school – with their peers – in their extracurricular activities – and in their more intimate relationships. Would you be willing to be something different for your teens, instead of another person who attempts to “steer” them in the “right” direction? Would some simple, easy to use tools create more ease in ALL your lives? http://julieoperkins.com/

Hey, teens AND parents! Got STRESS? Then this show is for you! It’s not your typical “top 10 tips for less stress and more self-care show” though – it’s a show about being aware of your energy…and facilitating it in a way that works for you – your body – your life! What if you could manage your energy so that not only does your life – your school – your work – become more EASE? More FUN? More PEACE? And what if the lives of those around you become that too, as if by MAGIC? Join us as we explore what this reality says “taking a break” can do for you – and how to create a break that works for you! http://julieoperkins.com/

Do you perceive beings or animals that have long since left the Planet? Are you ever aware of pockets of energy that nobody else seems to notice? Does this make you feel cursed? Or like you’re on the fast train to insanity land? What would it take to claim and own this as a capacity or strongness – instead of a wrongness? We’re going to explore this with our special guest, Glenyce Hughes – international author, speaker, radio show host and facilitator. We’ll talk about what this is – and how you can begin to use this capacity in your daily life – to the benefit of you, everyone around you and the Planet! www.Glenyce.net http://julieoperkins.com/

Calling all energetic beings! (Wait…that’s ALL of us!) Let’s talk about the language of energy – and what “following the energy” means! Tune into listen to how Christy and Julie are continually “building the muscle” of our energetic presence by communicating without spoken words…Plus hear some of our favorite stories about “energy tracking” that resulted in so much happiness! We’ll also explore what “energy speak” can contribute to the teen-parent relationship – What else is possible for teen-parent relationships now? Join us for some FUN and joy – are you ready to “track” that? http://julieoperkins.com/

What is “space”? That “outer” place full of stars and other planets? Your own, specially designed or decorated room? That feeling you get while in nature – or after amazing bodywork – or when listening to great music? What if it’s all of the above and MORE? Tune in to hear about creating the space of YOU – and tools to expand instead of contract when things encroach upon YOUR space! Teens and parents alike will learn to recognize when space is needed – and how that can be easily created – gifted – and maintained! What would it take to be the space of YOU easily? Always? http://julieoperkins.com/

Growing up can definitely be difficult. Being a parent can also be very difficult. But what if there was a different possibility with parents and their children? What if kids could grow up being taught to choose instead of obey? What if parents had ways of working with their kids instead of butting heads with them? Access Consciousness has given the gift of awareness and consciousness to Julie and Christy and their lovely guests, Glenna Rice and her teenage daughter, Roisin. Tune in for phenomenal parenting tips and possibilities on Teens Done Different. www.glennarice.com                        www.drglennarice.accessconsciousness.com http://julieoperkins.com/

Help! What does this word mean to you? For many of us, the very idea of asking for help – or receiving it – brings up a wide range of thoughts, feelings and emotions. And what about giving help? What happens when you step into that role? Join us as we explore the various energetics at play around help, including “saving” and “rescuing” – especially in the teen / parent relationship. What different possibility is available to us beyond traditional help? Tune in to find out on Teens Done Different. http://julieoperkins.com/

Join us and our very special guest, Donnielle Carter (co-author of the book Right Body for You written with Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness) for a candid look at the lies about bodies that we project on ourselves and others, that we then turn around and buy as if they were real and true! We’ll look at the lies that both parents and teens have bought “since birth” and explore other topics like sex! We’ll also get some tools and techniques for freedom from these projected lies. Is now the time to change how affected we are by these “bought lies”? www.donnielle.com http://julieoperkins.com

What is "normal"? Have you always been different from the bunch? Have you always steered away from the mainstream? Have you been told "you need a reality check", "get a REAL job", or just been told "you CAN'T" way too many times? This show is for you. So many times our creativities and special abilities are made wrongnesses, instead of STRONGnesses! What if you could change the world if you acknowledged your differences and didn't try to change them or fit into the "norm"? Join Christy Perkins and Julie Oreson Perkins, this week with special guest Katie Rubin, a wild and wacky conscious comedian who has always strayed from "normal" to create huge changes in the world. Tune in for stories, laughs, and life changing advice on Teens Done Different. www.katierubin.com www.JulieOPerkins.com

It’s Back to School time here in the United States. Exciting, right? Seeing people you haven’t seen all summer – making new friends – meeting your teachers. Super fun and easy, eh? School for us has been joy-filled…and also full of challenges. Join teen Christy Perkins and her mom, Julie Oreson Perkins, for their tales of “school daze” and how they followed their own intuition to creative school solutions that worked for them both. Hear about how their choices to attend “different” schools made them happier…and how they used unique techniques to navigate the school “systems” to create great school years! http://julieoperkins.com/

Our bodies and beings – and everything around us – are energy! As such, we need to acknowledge the very nature of energy, since it changes – creates – moves – mimics – morphs and yes, sometimes destroys. What if we could look at everything that energy does as “normal”? Even when you, your peers, your teens and others are engaging in so called “self destructive” coping techniques like cutting? drugs or alcohol? “addictions” to food or media? What if the energy of “destruction” is what is required to create and move forward? Join teen Christy Perkins and her mom, Julie Oreson Perkins, for yet another interesting perspective on self-harm. http://julieoperkins.com/

What does being kind mean to you? What does being UNkind mean to you? At what places in your life do you find yourself being kind or unkind or others being kind of unkind to you? What does being kind and caring mean in a parent-teen relationship? What if kindness was seen from a whole new perspective beyond the standard day definition? Join teen-parent duo Christy Perkins and Julie Oreson Perkins as they talk in depth about kindness and other possibilities when it comes to it. http://julieoperkins.com/

What does being grateful mean to you? Is it something you were told you should be when you get something? Something you were taught “how” to do? What does gifting and receiving truly mean? The “gratitude attitude” is one that we could all BE more – to the benefit of ourselves…those around us…and the planet! Tune in as teen Christy and mom Julie tell you stories of giving thanks – receiving gratitude – and sharing gratitude with the family, friends, pets and beyond! http://julieoperkins.com/

Teens: Ever been told by your parents to “stay safe”? Stay “off the radar” of the mean kids? Have you opened your “heart” to friends or a special someone – only to have that go awry? Parents: How much energy do you invest in protecting your teens from potential physical harm? Bullies? Heartbreak? Listen in to hear some great stories from teen Christy and mom Julie as they share some great tools and techniques for re-cycling the energy of protection into something creatively different on Teens Done Different radio. http://julieoperkins.com/

Join us as we talk about our beliefs around death – how to approach it and talk about it – and what can be chosen to create ease for the departing body and those still here. Hear our experiences with death and dying plus get some insights and tips, in this continuing conversation on EASE for Bodies.

Loaded with questions, insights, tools, techniques and humor, they will inspire and guide you to create something different – are you ready? http://julieoperkins.com/

What do you do when your body is in pain – not working like “normal” – fatigued? Do just ignore the pain – keep running your engine dry – or lash out at others?
