In today’s episode, we’re talking about your energy—not the kind that comes from caffeine, sugar, or staying up way too late. I mean your inner energy: your enthusiasm, your motivation, your confidence, your spark.

If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, pressured, or like you’re “running on empty,” you’re not alone. So many teens feel this way but rarely talk about it. Between school, relationships, social media, comparison, trying to keep up, and trying to look “okay,” your energy takes a bigger hit than you realize.

I’m breaking down what actually drains your energy, what helps you get it back, and how to protect it—because your energy is tied to your purpose, your identity, your relationships, and your mental health.

We’ll talk about leadership (yes, you’re a leader even if you don’t feel like one), setting boundaries, choosing the right voices to listen to, being honest with your emotions, and finding rest that actually restores you.

I'll also give you the 3–3–3 Energy Challenge—a short but powerful three-day reset with three small steps to help you renew your energy.

In this episode, Shawna breaks down why teen girls might feel like they need a boyfriend. She talks about peer pressure, and how dads can influence things.

This chat is about figuring out what matters to you and building your identity before diving into dating.

On this episode of the Talkin’ 2 Teen Show, Shawna talks about knowing who you are before jumping into a relationship, why respect has to go both ways, and how to deal with stuff like jealousy and insecurity. She also gets into how faith can help you figure out who’s right for you and reminds us that being single isn’t a bad thing—it’s actually the perfect time to grow and get ready for something real.
