The pandemic has created so many challenges, among them, how to handle friendships and feelings. In this episode, you’ll hear from licensed clinical professional counselor, certified professional school counselor, journalist, and author Phyllis Fagell. Phyllis and host Christine Koh talk about building character and confidence during hard times, how friendships -- and the social landscape -- are playing out during the pandemic, productive ways to lean into feelings, and how parents and caregivers can best support kids who are experiencing big feelings.
