Summary

For all the mamas with teenagers, we’ve got our resident on the show today to answer all our questions from friend groups to phones to body image and everything in between!

And if you don’t have a teenager right now, you’ll love hearing what is going on in the minds of middle schoolers!

Ally shares what “shipping” is, if her friends are addicted to their phones, and how she started learning about portion sizes. You’re going to want to hear her final message to us parents on what we can do to connect with our teenagers today.

Thanks for being here and cheering Ally on! So many of you have been her internet aunties for the last decade and we love you for it. This is a must WATCH chat so head over to YouTube to see all of our reactions - just go to https://nicolewalters.com/youtube

0:04.7	Hey friend, it's Nicole, host of the Nicole Walters podcast.
0:09.2	Here's where we laugh, we cry, and we grant ourselves grace as we do life together.
0:14.4	Let's get started.
0:38.7	Thank you. Hey, everyone. I am gearing up for the holidays, and I know that you all have a lot going on. So maybe you're listening to this while you are preparing meals for your family or welcoming people in. And I just thank you so much for spending some time with me here and just kind of always coming back every single
0:43.5	week. So as you know, I've got a little one in middle school who's 13 and it's been a journey.
0:51.7	Anyone who's ever had teenagers knows what that's like. And we've been really
0:56.1	fortunate to have her here chatting with us on the pod a couple times. I want to say maybe four or
1:01.4	five times she's always been someone who's been willing to pop in and share her insights. And she's
1:06.2	got lots of really valuable perspectives. And this past week she came to me and she said, mom, we need to do a
1:12.8	podcast. And I was like, I'm sorry, what? And she was like, I already have the title. And I was like,

1:38.2	Everything's great in September because we're coming off of summer break and we just want new faces,

1:58.2	Ali. Hey, yo. Hello. We are so glad you are here.
2:02.3	Listen, not you tried to take over.
2:04.6	Not you're like, I have things to say.
