He tells himself a story. And that story quietly shapes his confidence, his choices, and how he shows up in the world. In today’s episode of Raising Boys, Building Men, Heidi is joined by confidence coach and belief expert Micaela Clegg to unpack what teenage boys believe about themselves and why arguing, fixing, and lecturing rarely helps. You’ll learn how thoughts turn into beliefs, how beliefs become identity, and why your son’s brain is wired to protect even the beliefs that hold him back. Most importantly, you’ll discover what moms can actually do to help with curiosity instead of correction. This episode is for any mom who’s worried her son believes: “I’m not good enough.” “Nobody likes me.” “I’m bad at school.” You’ll walk away with practical tools to reduce emotional blowups, build emotional awareness, and help your son question limiting beliefs without pushing him away. Guest Details and Resources: Micaela Clegg is a life coach, entrepreneur, and subconscious rewiring practitioner who helps people change the beliefs running beneath their behaviour, building confidence and self-trust from the inside out.
