On this week's episode of This is the Future, I had an inspiring conversation with Joy Essien, fondly known as "Aunty Joy." She's a dedicated Teen Life Coach, Mental Health Advocate, and expert in Emotional Intelligence.

With over 8 years of experience working with adolescents, Joy founded 'The Teenage White Hat Initiative,' partnering with schools and parents to equip teenagers with essential skills for navigating challenges and excelling in various areas of life.

In this episode, we explore Aunty Joy's journey, her mission to empower teenagers, and her work with 'Ecclesia Queens,' a ministry nurturing purpose-driven young women. Aunty Joy's insights on building strong parent-teen relationships and fostering emotional intelligence in youth are invaluable.

Learn about her educational background in Mass Communication and her extensive training in Emotional Intelligence, Child Psychology, and Coaching. Aunty Joy, along with her husband, also runs 'Young Ecclesia Nation,' impacting thousands of teenagers.

Tune in as we discuss raising empowered teenagers and discover actionable strategies for parents, guardians, and anyone passionate about adolescent growth.
