0:00.0	Welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm Coach Sammy and I am so glad you are here.
0:11.7	The teen years can be fun and exciting, but also filled with self-doubt, insecurities, and lots of
0:19.8	frustration. I am here to help you along your

0:32.4	Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast this week. How are all doing so last week i started a peer to peer
0:41.2	peer social skills series and we are going to be talking about peer to peer social skills today again
