AIIA Minor League with Savannah Robinson: Moving Forward and Glancing Back
Today's episode is for our Minor League (18 and under). Savannah is Coach Blu's 17 yo daughter. On this episode she and Coach Blu discuss moving forward and glancing back and how they are complementary actions that shape our journey through life. She hosts this episode to discuss teen issues. Moving forward represents our constant drive to grow, evolve, and embrace new experiences. It is the propulsion that propels us towards our goals and aspirations, pushing us beyond our comfort zones. Moving forward allows us to learn from our past, make necessary adjustments, and seize opportunities for personal and professional growth. On the other hand, glancing back is an essential reflection of our past experiences. It enables us to acknowledge our accomplishments, learn from our mistakes, and gain wisdom from the lessons life has taught us. Glancing back provides us with a broader perspective, helping us appreciate our journey and make informed decisions for the future. Balancing both moving forward and glancing back allows us to navigate our path with intention, resilience, and continuous self-improvement.

The Minor League with Savannah Robinson: Do We Remember?
The Minor League is BACK! Listen as Savannah and Coach Blu process memory and why its so important to allow our experiences to settle in the correct spots in our minds. For some people, ruminating thoughts are a way to control anxiety. It may mean you're replaying life events in an attempt to make sure that next time, you're prepared and won't feel as anxious. Repeating entire conversations in your head is a type of rumination. It's how your mind attempts to self-soothe.

How to Talk to Your Teen About Drugs
The Agents discuss the best way to start a conversation with your teen about drugs and alcohol and why it is important. Substance misuse in adolescents happens quite often, yet how parents respond can be vital on if a child continues to use or not. We know teens need structure to stay safe. Listen as they discuss building relationships before rules. It is crucial to have clear rules about drugs and alcohol. You can’t guarantee that your rules won’t be broken. But research shows that kids who have clear rules, even if they’re broken, are less likely to get into serious trouble than kids who don’t. It can be hard to know what to say. Don’t surprise kids with a big talk. Instead, let your child know you want to have a conversation about drinking and drugs. Be clear about rules and specific about what will happen if kids break them. Kids do best when they know what to expect.
