My friend! If you feel the need to be perfect, and get anxious about it, I hope you'll listen to this episode with my friend, a mental health professional, Leigh Germann. I heard her speak a few years ago at a conference, and I am so excited that I got her to share a few thoughts with you in this episode.

#006 How to be a better Conversationalist Apr 05, 2019

I'm chatting with my friend Avery in this episode, a fellow teen wanting to know thoughts on how to improve conversation with people. I love that she asked, and I love even more that she was willing to come on and chat with me!

#005 When Life Gives you Lemons Mar 29, 2019

Show notes

When life gives you lemons: make lemonade.

This is a phrase you've likely heard in your life, right? I wanted to dissect it, discuss it, share with you some lemons I've had thrown at me this week, and hopefully help you see that we can turn our sour life "lemons" into something else.

Episode AMAZON favorite: Lemon Squeezer (I use it daily)

Alex Boye' Lemonade Video (Fun and funny and catchy song)

I also love this Lemonade song

#004 We all make Mistakes Mar 22, 2019

Show notes

You make mistakes, mistakes don't make you.

It's not how we make mistakes, but in how we correct them that defines us.

In this episode, we talk about something that seems to be a major concern for teens, imperfectionism. We talk about the difference between shame and guilt, and I share a clip from one of my favorite TED Talks: Listening to Shame. I encourage you to click on that link and listen to it after this episode!

>>>Our Amazon item that we love that I mention in this episode is the game Telestrations! Have you played before? Check it out on Amazon and if you purchase that or ANYTHING within 24 hours, it sends a little thank you our way. See all of our favorites for teens on Amazon.

#003 Battling Insecurities Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

We all have insecurities, and in this episode we talked about the opposite of insecure and what we can do to flip it around.

>>>Our Amazon featured product for this episode are CRAZY SOCKS! I love unique socks and I think some might feel insecure to wear them, but I say EMBRACE THE CRAZY! I've always loved the fun individuality that comes from wearing them, and they are surely a conversation piece! I've linked to a pair of llama socks above, but you can see more socks (and some with matching ties) in the Favorites for Teens section of the Amazon Store.

Ted Talk I referenced: Overcoming Your Insecurity and Looks Aren't Everything (by a model)

#002 Developing GRIT Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

What is grit? I read a handful of descriptions in this episode, and I also share a brief interview with my brother Russ who recently completed a 100 mile race.

>>>I shared about our favorite Camelbak Hydration Backpack in this episode. We love it for hikes (hands free water system) and my boys love it to take on long runs.

Article I referenced: When to Quit

I'd love you to leave an iTunes Review.
I won't hate if you share this with your friends.

#001 Combating Loneliness Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to the very first episode of the FIST BUMP PODCAST! I thought I'd kick off this very first episode sharing about an experience when I was a teen with loneliness.

I also talk about the distinction between being lonely or sad and depression and how to tell the difference.

I referenced this article on the podcast: What Causes Loneliness

Welcome to the Fist Bump podcast, I'm Kristen Duke, and with this podcast, I aim to share positivity and encouragement to teenagers, offering a virtual FIST BUMP on the daily through this podcast and Instagram @FistBump.Podcast

I've run a parenting podcast, Beyond Good Intentions for the past year, and I decided to start this second podcast just for teens because I think they could use some extra encouragement and positivity.
