HOST JACKIE TANTILLO – Building Courage Through "Courageous Conversations" With Guest Educator And Coach Elizabeth Bennett

many peopple say tht their past defines them. Others say they are determined to change who they are because of their past, and that new trajectory defines who they truly become.

Elizabeth Bennett says, “being a survivor of domestic violence, sexual abuse and bullying as a young person, has taught me that in order to succeed in life, I must be willing to do whatever it takes to heal and move forward. I have used my past as a vehicle of opportunity to flourish in the present and in the future.”

 Her 35-year career in high schools as an educator, administrator, and principal and now as a student and parent coach, is helping families understand one another better, to become ‘curiously engaged’  with one another with “Courageous Conversations,” which happens to be the title of her latest book.  

We all know that teens have a lot going on in their bodies, minds and emotions and it’s important for them to know that as parents, we’re here for them. We truly are listening to them. 

Ms. Bennett is also thankful for her parents who handed down “a fiery attitude and a heart-centered desire to empower people and help them transform, so that they can live the life that they desire”! 

Her new book, Courageous Conversations, gives parents easy-to-implement strategies to create a powerful and loving relationship with their teen, without lectures, shame or guilt.
