We are excited to introduce our new Council member... Morgan. She is a tremendous girl who has a lot of insight and who has a lot to offer to our audience.

And with that introduction, let me introduce today's episode:

Nothing to do this summer... Start a business.

Bored... Get to know yourself

We are talking about things that teens, who don't have a job, can do over the summer.

The topic for today's podcast comes from this Wall Stree Journal article: What Jobless Teens Could Be Doing This Summer. 

We put Emily on the spot to guess what the new peer pressure is... she guessed it... social media. In this most recent episode we talk about how to navigate through the pressures that social media has created. 

Today Mat and Summer disagree about the nature of laziness, then one of them is convinced that they were wrong. We also give some tips on how to overcome laziness and what some of the benefits of being productive are.

It has been a little while... we are back. Life was a little crazy for all of us over the last couple of months. Summer had a baby, McKenzee and Emily were elected to student council, and Chantel has been working and singing her guts out. We carved out some time to record a podcast today and feels good to be back in the saddle, so to speak. What is that you ask? What has been keeping me so busy?... Just work and making homeade yogurt. No big deal.

Today we talk about how being away from home can help build self esteem and independence. It is a great conversation about finding your true self and taking responsibility for your life.

Today Summer and I discuss what happens to the way we feel when we say negative things about other people.

Today, 

Summer and I talk about how you can boost your confidence. We try to keep it non-cheesy, but Summer struggles to do that. That being said, just because some of her advice is cheesy does not mean that it doesn't work.

Today Mat and Summer talk about how you can tactfully end a friendship that you have realized is unhealthy for you.

Today's podcast is for those of our listeners who are of dating age, but haven't had the experience of being asked out yet. There is some great discussion about what a girl can do if they find themselves in this circumstance.

Today's podcast is a quick discussion about building a vocabulary that can help you describe how you are feeling. Sometimes just being able to put our feelings into precise words can help others understand and help us to feel understood.

Today's topic is about attitudes that pre-teens (Summer defines them as 8-12... I think she is crazy) show. The article that she takes the idea from is letting parents know how to deal with these attitudes. We try to give some advice to our younger listeners and to older siblings.
