The Betterment Blueprint with Teshan Fernando
I’m Teshan Fernando — a high school teacher and future father on a mission to understand what truly helps teenagers thrive. Each episode, I share lessons from the classroom, my own journey, and the world of coaching — all aimed at raising happier, more balanced, and more successful young people.
I also run Teshan Fernando Life Coaching, where I work exclusively with teens to help them build confidence, resilience, and purpose. My hope? That what I’m learning can help you guide your child to become the best version of themselves.
Thanks for listening — let’s grow together.
