Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast.

I'm your host, Mikkel, and today we are talking about relationships.

You guys, today we are talking about one of my favorite topics.

We're going to talk about relationships and dating and boys and girls.

And I am so excited to talk to you guys about this.

I have had several requests for an episode

on relationships and have been thinking about it a lot. And hopefully we'll do several episodes

for you guys on this because I think this is such an important and super fun topic.

Okay, because who doesn't like finding out that someone has a crush on them?

Like, I remember when I found out the captain of the football team liked me, I felt so good about myself.

And I think that's why dating in high school can be so fun and

appealing to a lot of people is because we get this sense of self-worth from it, like someone

wants us and we're valued. But before we get into the episode,

I wanted to read this really sweet review from Eliza Garcia.

She wrote,

I've been listening to this podcast while I do homework and tasks.

I usually listen to music,

but I wanted to have some background noise and found this.

I've connected with this more than I thought I would.

It has helped me get through the day and has allowed me to grow positively.

As a teenage girl who doesn't have a mother figure,

it has given me a sense of direction and some relief to my worries.
