THE HAPPINESS PILL PROGRAM FOR TEEN GIRLS
Start living your (best) life.
Tired of feeling Overwhelmed. Unmotivated. You’ve come to the right place! Being a teen is not easy in the current world we live in.
Maybe you imagine the life you want but it feels out of reach most of the time.
Instead you’re not sure your friends are true, your parents don’t get it, and some days you’d rather just stay in bed than face another stressful day. These feelings keep you prisoner to spiraling negative thoughts and lofty pressures to be some version of perfect.
You’re bright so you’ve found ways to numb out or push away the painful thoughts and feelings, but the trade off is a short lived relief.
Your parents don’t seem to understand what’s going on so they tell you, “everyone was a teen once- this is normal”. They walk on eggshells, unsure of how to best support you, not wanting to make the situation worse.
What if you could feel confident and live the life you want?
Whether confidence means talking to more people, trying that new thing out, feeling good in your skin- This is all possible with The Happiness Pill Teen Life Coaching program!
Discover your confidence to do the things you want and watch the stress simmer while you can step into living the life you want.
The Happiness Pill Program is a 4-month life changing program that gets you from that place of stress and anxiety to a place of contentment, motivation, and confidence.

I wish I had this support when I was a teen.
As a self-professed recovering perfectionistic people pleaser, I had a tough time as a teen.
Where I struggled was to believe in myself and my worth. My negative self-talk was loud and loved to remind me of how everyone was noticing my mistakes and imperfections and judging me harshly.
This impacted me in every area of my life!
I was afraid to make the wrong move so I often procrastinated on school assignments. I didn’t want people to dislike me so I stayed in relationships that were not good for me. I didn’t speak up at times when things seemed not okay and I didn’t like myself for that. I let opportunities pass me by for fear of being judged.
The harshest critic was actually me. Things got really bad around the age of 15 and I didn’t feel ok sharing with my friends or my family.
Things changed for me when I discovered my passion for fitness. By honing in on this hobby, I discovered role models– I discovered my strength– I discovered my resilience and ability to set goals and get through hard things. As I became more confident, it opened up my world to different possibilities and opportunities. It’s been a twisty turning journey and it keeps unfolding- which I’m grateful for.
Had I learned as a teen, the key to building confidence, managing my emotions, and growing my ability to face adversity, what a world of difference it would have made!
If my future self could have told Teen Me to tap into self-acceptance and self-love, my teen years would have been filled with doing more of what I loved.
If I had felt more okay to share with my parents about what I was experiencing- I wouldn’t have felt so alone.
This is why I created the Happiness Pill Teen Life Coaching program.
Over this 4- month program, I’m committed to showing up and supporting teen girls discover their greatest strengths and resources that will carry them into living a life they love, while helping their parents understand and feel well-equipped to support their daughters through this important rite of passage.

FAQs
Groups can seem intimidating at first, especially if you don’t really know anyone. However, I have participated in many different types of groups and I have lead grief groups, social skills groups, and community groups with teens over the years and I can say when done properly – groups rock!
There is something great about knowing you are not alone in your thoughts/feelings/experiences. And it can feel really good when someone else gets you and what you’re going through.
Group coaching in The Happiness Pill program offers a “more heads are better than one” approach, where you will hear how others might be handling situations. It will show you you aren’t alone, and give you fresh ideas.
On the flip side, something you say or share could be super valuable to someone else too!
There is of course no pressure to show up with profound words of wisdom – just be yourself and you never know how helpful that can be.
If there is something specifically going on in the group calls that you are struggling with, you can share it in the call or reach out to me privately and it will be addressed right away.
Most of the teens I work with have many different things going on. You may have a high focus on academics, play competitive sports or music or something in the arts, have a job, help out a lot at home, or volunteer in the community, etc. On top of all that, you want to hang out with their friends, have chores to complete, family time and so on.
I get it – life is busy. And it can be overwhelming to think of adding yet another thing to your week.
The Happiness Pill is an investment in you and your best life. It is a way to step back from the stress and overwhelm, and give yourself an hour each week to focus on you and making your life truly the best. You can make the most of that time by being kind to yourself, showing up, being authentic (the real you), and sharing about things that matter to you.
You can ask questions about things that are relevant to you that week. If you feel unsure of what to talk about or what you want to ask about, you might find that what others are sharing about has a connection to your own life somehow. And if not, there’s always the ‘take what fits and leave the rest’ philosophy.
You will find that when you create the hour a week for you, decreasing your stress and anxiety, that you will actually have more room for the things you love.
Online calls are not ideal for everyone… You might have had experiences where you felt so zoned out or bored when you were in online calls.
I’m committed to add laughter and lightness to the calls, and keep them relevant, helpful, and safe.
Your voice matters. You are always welcome to contribute your thoughts and ideas on how to make the calls better – I’m listening.
Here are some tips to stay engaged in group calls:
1. Bring a notebook to write things down.
2. Turn off your notifications or leave your cell phone aside for that hour.
3. Think about the topic you might want to share about.
4. Keep your camera on (if possible).
5. Ask questions.
6. Remind yourself that this your hour and you get to choose to make the most of it.
Yes!
We will talk about how to respectfully maintain everyone’s privacy of information throughout the group calls, including a rule: no one is to share or post anything about what others are saying in group.
However, if you’re ever feeling really impacted by something that was said in group, it is 100% ok to share about your feelings and your thoughts about the situation with someone you trust… As long as you keep the focus on you and don’t share private information about another member.
Note: If there is any concern for you or another member’s safety, I am required by law to share with the proper authorities in order to keep that person safe.
If you have any concerns about privacy, reach out: info@pyramidpsychology.com
Parent office hours are designed to help parents connect with a community of other adults who are raising amazing teens!
Your parents will be invited to ask general questions about parenting teens, and they are invited to ask specific questions about what they are struggling with. So, it is possible that they mention your name and share some context. However, parents are required respect one another’s privacy and keep information confidential.
If you have concerns about privacy, you can reach out: info@pyramidpsychology.com.
The Happiness Pill Teen Life Coaching program investment is 3700CAD
No! This is one of my favourite parts about the Happiness Pill – you can be anywhere in the world and get the benefits.
For the Up-Level group sessions for teens:
These calls are held over zoom, with no more than 10 teens per call.
You can expect a check-in at the start where we cover any logistics, see how folks are doing, get to know each other, and have a few laughs.
We will do a deep dive into a theme or specific question on each call, where you will learn different ways of managing challenges and the thoughts and feelings that come with them.
Although the format will be the same each week, the content will be unique and related to what comes up and what is relevant to you.
For the Parent Office Hours:
These calls will be held over zoom, and will be recorded.
We will start with a brief check-in, and then dive straight into any questions and/or struggles you are wanting some support with.
I will share support, tips, and resources with you as it seems relevant.
We help teen girls from the ages of 11 to 21.
