Hello, friends.

I have a great interview for you.

I'm welcoming today the wonderful Phyllis Fagel.

She is a licensed clinical professional counselor and freelance journalist and also an author.

Her first book was Middle School Matters, the 10 key skills kids need to thrive in middle school and beyond,

and how parents can help. And her new book is Middle School Superpowers, Raising Resilient Twins

in Turbulent Times. Phyllis is also one of the kindest people I know, the type of person who is

always incredibly busy and always seems to hold space and have a listening ear for you. So

welcome, Phyllis. I'm so happy to have you on the show today. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be

here and I would say the exact same things about you.

Oh, it's really such a joy. You're like one of my favorite. I mean, I guess we met before the

pandemic, but our relationship has grown during the pandemic times. And so I just can't wait

to see you again in person sometime soon. But meanwhile, we have the internet.

Yes.
