0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast.
0:09.4	I'm your host Sammy and today we are talking about family conflict.
0:14.8	Hi guys.
0:16.2	Thank you so much for being here today.
0:18.4	How is everybody doing?

1:25.9	some help because he was having a lot of anxiety
1:28.9	about people coming over to visit and gather for the holidays. And so I kind of wanted to do an episode
1:35.2	today to talk to you guys about why you're feeling anxious about people coming over and some
1:41.2	things that you can do to help with that. But before we get into our topic, let's do our listener shout out.
