Ignite Your Future — Unlock Your Potential.

In this episode, I am talking all about academic mentoring—what it is, how it’s different from tutoring, and why it might be the missing piece for students and families navigating school stress, burnout, and everything in between.

Whether you’re a middle schooler learning how to focus, a high schooler balancing big goals, a college student managing independence, a parent or caregiver trying to support without feeling overwhelmed—this one’s for you.

We’ll cover:
✅ Time management & study strategies
✅ Goal setting & routines
✅ Mindset, motivation, and self-advocacy
✅ How mentoring supports both students and the home dynamic

Academic mentoring is about equipping—not “fixing”—and helping students build confidence, clarity, and real-life tools they can carry forward.

✨ Plus: In-person sessions are now open in Oakland, and virtual coaching is available!

🎧 Listen now on Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, or at ignitefuturescoaching.com.

💥 First-time clients: Get 30% off life or career coaching with code INTRO.

Share this episode with a student or caregiver who needs to hear it—and don’t forget to follow, leave a review, and keep showing up for your future.

Let’s grow together. Glow forward.
