Under the Surface: Guiding Teens Through Stress, Overwhelm, & Crushing Expectations (Outweigh)

Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

OUTWEIGH: If you’ve ever seen your teenager spiral into stress, overwhelm, and food obsession—and felt utterly helpless—this conversation is a game-changer. In today’s episode, Leanne sits down with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens, who’s spent nearly two decades helping students thrive not just academically, but emotionally and mentally. We’ll delve into why so many teens feel out of control around food when life itself feels out of control, and how teaching executive functioning skills like organization, time management, and boundaries can help them reclaim stability—and reduce the frantic energy fueling their anxiety and body struggles.

Get ready to discover real, practical tools your teen can use without piling on more rules or punishments. From establishing daily routines that create emotional breathing room to learning to say “no” and preserve mental space, Natalie and Leanne are sharing a new lens on supporting teens without the pressure-cooker tactics that so often backfire. If you want to guide your teen toward self-trust and genuine calm—rather than crash dieting or body shame—this episode will open your eyes to a radically different approach.
