🎙️ Let’s Talk Teens: Teaching Your Teen About Healthy Friends vs. So-So Friends

Welcome to another episode of "Let’s Talk Teens!" with certified life coaches, Abbi Winslow and Cheree Murdock — where we help parents guide teens through real-life relationship challenges.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that shapes your teen’s confidence and choices—friendships. Not all friendships are created equal, and helping your teen recognize the difference between healthy friends and so-so friends can be a game-changer.

We’ll walk you through what healthy friendships look like (trust, respect, support) versus relationships that drain, pressure, or bring out the worst. You’ll learn how to have these conversations without criticizing your teen’s friends, and how to help your teen build awareness, boundaries, and confidence in choosing who they surround themselves with.

Tune in for practical tools and real-life language to help your teen create friendships that lift them up—not hold them back. 🎧✨
