Alleviating Anxiety through Awareness and Vulnerability with Monica Crnogorac

The illusion that teens today somehow ‘have it easier’ is cloaked in misinformation and stereotypes, mainly because teens decades ago didn’t share the same struggles that youth manage today. Between fitting in, performing well academically, understanding identities, and familial tensions, each of these realities often exist simultaneously and at varying intensities.

Monica Crnogorac, Academic and Executive Skills Life Coach for Study Spot Educational Services, joins Nobody’s Perfect host Jason Hopcus as a guest on the podcast for a powerful discussion on anxiety and its impact on youth. Monica, who experienced bullying at a young age, has leveraged her journey in service to others by educating and equipping youth with skills that guide them on a journey to self-empowerment.

Monica’s conversation with Jason reveals just how much more intentional we can be with reaching youth at a young age to prevent anxiety from evolving into bigger mental health concerns.
