Tough conversations can feel so awkward - especially as a teen. Whether you’re trying to speak up to a friend, explain your feelings to your parents, or advocate for yourself with a teacher, coach, or youth leader, knowing how to communicate makes all the difference. In this episode, we’re talking about how to identify and strengthen your communication skills so you can walk into difficult conversations with more confidence, clarity, and calm. As teens grow, parents often step back and encourage more independence - and that means you start handling harder conversations on your own. If that feels intimidating, I’ve got good news! Communication is a skill you can practice and improve. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation wishing you’d said something differently - or avoided speaking up altogether - this episode will give you tools to feel more prepared next time. xo, Kristen Big news coming soon 👀 A January relaunch is on the way and it includes:

  • A new podcast name
  • A brand-new website
  • A supportive Facebook community for teen girls
