Hey, y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.

I'm your host, Heather McFadion, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you

and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.

And in this episode number 518, I'm welcoming back to the show,

my friend, Dr. Kelly Jameson. When parents get involved, we also want a quick solution. And sometimes

these things just have to work themselves out. We also have to remember that what is a very heated

issue amongst girls six months later is a non-issue.

But the parents are still hot about it.

That's really hard too.

So the parenting perspective there is how to let it go when it was a complete torpedo in your home.

You can't recalibrate yourself to accept these girls anymore after the pain and damage

that they caused inside of your house and to your child. Dr. Jameson is a mom of three. She's a

trained systems therapist and speaker. Based here in Dallas, Texas, our teenage boys are in

school together. She practices

narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy through the years of listening to many

families and teens. She has learned how to navigate those difficult years of teen and tween

friendships and how to help parents coach their kids. And so I thought she would be great to come on the show and help me with a hot topic

when I get a lot of questions about me and girls, these teen friendships and what's going on

and what is our role as moms?

How do we help coach our kids through the conflict?

There's so much goodness in this episode, topics like friend hoarding.

Have you heard of that before?
