teen Badass expression
Welcome to Badass expression!!
Hey loves!!!
WE MADE IT TO BADASS EXPRESSION, WAHOO!!!!!
What does 'expression' mean to you??
Yup, that's a lot of what we're gonna be unpacking and exploring together this session -- and it's less about what others think and a lot more about what feels good and true to YOU!
We'll be talking about social anxiety, substances, making art with our lives, getting dressed like a badass (yes, clothes...!!), speaking our truth, and so.many.other.amazing.topics!!!!
PLUS: we've got guest faculty interviews coming in HOT this month -- so go peruse the content and let some of these amazing faculty bless yr life ;)
How to Make Art w/ Your Life
Yes, you, amazing artist --
And maybe you're already like 'Eliza, I am hella creative'...!!!
And maybe you're like 'HA, ELIZA -- WHO ME -- NOPEEE!!'
This video is for you!!!
Because we're always creating and our lives get to be art if we let them be :)
Yes, it's time to talk about dreams, failure, feelings, goals... and what we're actively choosing to create with our lives!!!
I'M.SO.EXCITED.FOR.THIS.ONE. :)

How to Get Dressed Like a Badass + Love Yourself!!
Ooooh, honey...
Wanna talk about clothes??!
I kinda do... and I kinda don't... HA.
Because while I love expressing myself with clothes...
I'm also SO OVER everyone else (it feels like sometimes) having feelings about what I 'should' or 'shouldn't' wear... UGH.
But it's time for a real talk... and you know I love those... :)
Ready to feel more loving to yourself while you get dressed? And choose your clothes for the day?
I got you.

The Best Real Talk About Drinking, Drugs + Feelings
Oof, this is a good one...
How many of us have sat through an awkward high school lecture about drinking that no one took seriously?
And was actually kind of scary, confusing and unhelpful?
Maybe you've just heard about them.
But there's one thing I'd bet: you're feeling that people have lots of feelings about drinking and drugs...
And you're wishing there could be a MORE REAL conversation.
My darlings... I present to you... A VERY REAL TALK (plus it's fun, kind and goofy to boot ;)).

Speaking Your Truth (+ Why It Matters)
Oh yes -- it's time to be with 'truth' -- and 'speaking' --
I'm putting them in quotes (lol) because what do they even mean???
But real... what's 'the truth'??
And also aren't there so many ways that we can 'speak' without literally using our voices??
If you're down to get a little philosophical, but also you feel like you could get really real about speaking your truth more...
THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU :)

Social Media, Anxiety + Being Real Online
How many of us feel stressed and kinda numbed out by being online all the time?
But also like... really want connection? And so many of our friends are online???
And also like... funny random videos?? Come on now. SO FUN.
But it's also time for a real talk I think...
About setting our OWN internal boundaries with tech (as the badasses we are), getting support, navigating anxiety, and being more real (and staying safeeeee) online!!
