Hello Reader, As we wrapped up the final THP Hangouts of 2025 this past weekend, we were feeling so grateful to have spent this year with some amazing teens! We want to send a huge, heartfelt thank you to every teen, parent, and community member who made this year so special. This year’s THP Hangouts were an absolute blast. Through creativity, movement, and connection, we are honoured to create a safe, welcoming space where teen girls can laugh, explore, build friendships, and try something new. Watching these moments unfold, the connection, courage, and play, has been a definite highlight of our year. Thank you for trusting us with your teens, for showing up, and for being part of this growing community. Your support is what allows us to continue offering these meaningful experiences. We’re already buzzing with ideas and can’t wait to see you in 2026 for even more good times, more connection, and more chances for teen girls to shine. Wishing you and your family a restful, joy-filled end to 2025. With gratitude, Chantal Psychologist| Teen Coach| Part of the Pyramid Psychology Team CALLING ALL ANIMAL LOVERS!

Most of us spend our emotional lives in 2 places: The past (“Why did I say that?”) and The future (“What do I need to prepare next?”). Can you relate to this Reader? Meanwhile, our body sits in the present moment, waiting for us to arrive. This kind of mental time-travel is draining for everyone, but especially for teen girls whose nervous systems are already working overtime most of the time. Recently, at a women’s networking event, presenter Jeri Tourand shared a line of Zen wisdom that I...
Change is rarely easy, Readerwould you agree? And when it comes to the big shifts our teen daughters face like junior high → high school, or high school → graduation, those changes stir up more than just new schedules.
