Welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm Coach Sammy and I am so glad you are here.

The teen years can be fun and exciting, but also filled with self-doubt, insecurities, and lots of

frustration. I am here to help you along your teen

journey and make sure you enjoy your teen years as much as possible. Let's get started.

Hey guys, welcome to the podcast this week. Happy July. What is up? How's the summer summer going for you I was just looking at the

calendar and we just have a few more weeks of summer here in Arizona we go back

August 1st too soon it's been a good summer I love hanging out with my kids I

love not having a schedule I always get so sad when they go back

to school. My kids are my best friends. And I'm going to have two high schoolers this year. So that is

going to be fun. And then one middle schooler and one still in elementary school. For today's

episode, you guys, I wanted to talk about feelings. It's summertime and a lot of

you have more time by yourself and more time alone with your thoughts and you're not as busy as you

usually are. So you may be feeling a little bit sad or lonely or thinking about things that make you sad just because

when we have more time left alone with our thoughts sometimes we get feeling down or sad and it's easy

to get carried away with our own thoughts and we don't have as many distractions going on or busy

schedules of things that we have to be at that we're that we are

required to be at so you may be spending more time at home by yourself or around people you don't

necessarily want to be around just because you are at home more I want to talk about some certain

feelings today feelings and emotions are what make life really exciting.

When I am working with clients, I welcome all feelings with absolutely no judgment.

I don't believe that feelings are a bad thing, nor do I think that they should be

resisted or hid.
