After The Speech: When Teens Get Real
“I do not know how Mary Lynne Fernandez packed such a fantastic amount of inspiration and insight into her book, “The Warrior Teenager.” Any teen who reads this book is definitely going to benefit from its wisdom. A new standard has been set.”
“Mary Lynne’s book, “The Warrior Teenager,” is the perfect book for teenagers who are struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, feelings of hopelessness and despair. Every chapter is rich in visual images, captivating stories, and most importantly, grounded in practical strategies for teenagers to empower and transform their lives.”
“Through real-life stories, Mary Lynne gives a peek into the teen psyche and shows teenagers that they are not alone when they feel overwhelmed, stressed, and confused about life. She breaks down a wealth of information into a practical step-by-step plan so they can take action to create a life of strength, confidence, and ultimately a life of happiness.”


"You matter.
Your life matters.
We need you."
~Mary Lynne Fernandez
Hi, I'm Mary Lynne
I went from advertising executive to school teacher, following in the footsteps of my mom and grandma. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but what I didn't know is how my career change would lead me down a path of past hurts needing to be healed and life lessons still needing to be learned.
I didn't plan on being a middle school teacher, but that is what the universe delivered to me. I will never forget my first day of student teaching. As I walked down the hall, a whirlwind of emotions and memories from my teen years, long-forgotten, but deeply rooted in my subconscious, started to come to the surface.
As easy as it is to remember the good times of my middle and high school years, the reality was stress, suicidal thoughts, and self-sabotage seemed to infiltrate my life at that time, unbeknownst to my friends and family. I hid it very well as do many people do today.
Service is my Life Passion
Through the years, I have watched and listened to the life challenges of my students. That is why I extended my education beyond an M.A in Curriculum & Instruction to include a Ph.D. in Holistic Life Counseling, Life Coach Certification, and Mindfulness, Yoga, Breathwork, and Qigong training.
I have been on a path of self-healing for many years. I have learned to listen, hold space for others, and witness the unfoldment of people as they open to possibility, healing, and self-awareness. It's a true honor to support people along their life journey to teach and share what I have learned on my own healing path.

LITERARY TITAN
Book Review:
"In this world where everything is fast paced and competitive, one can feel a little overwhelmed. They can feel lost in the crowd. They can feel like they are drowning in their inability to measure up to society’s expectations and standards. It is not easy. It is not ideal but it is what it is. There is nothing more to do than equip the future generations with the skills to ignore all the news. The wherewithal to see the standards but not bend to them; the ability to understand that the only standards worth measuring up to are ones set by one’s own self.
Mary Lynne Fernandez, with her extensive experience and brilliance, seeks to do exactly that with this book. She seeks to guide teenagers through life. To arm parents with tools to efficiently and successfully navigate the mucky and turbulent waters that is parenting to teenagers."

"Your visit was inspiring!! It was a very positive experience for our students. It showed them that they are not alone, that someone who is an adult experienced some of the things that they are experiencing, and that it's okay to open up and share those feelings to get them off their chest and into the open. Thank you for coming into our world and being so open with our kids. Young people and old need all the help, guidance, and assistance that they can get these days and you certainly helped in that arena for them. Mahalo!"
