CELEBRATING 10 THOUSAND STREAMS! This week I received congrats from Spotify for 10 000 streams! That means my podcast has been listened to 10 THOUSAND TIMES! Ahhh!! Picture me dancing and jumping up and down!! Besties! I could not have done this without you!! I am so so grateful!

To mark this special occasion, I have a very special episode for you! My friend Olen is joining me to provide the boys' perspective!

In this episode we delve into the topic of comparing boys and girls in middle school! How do boys deal with conflict, grudges, school, pressures to look a certain way and of course, crushes! Do boys like girls to wear a lot of make-up or a more natural look? What do boys talk about at sleepovers? Do they talk about girls? When a girl is flirting, do boys miss signals that girls like them? And at the end we ask the burning question - is it easier to be a girl or a boy in middle school?

Olen and I had so much to talk about! We hope you like it!

I am extending a very special thank you to Olen for helping me out! I really appreciate it.

Side Note: Spotify updated and I can no longer record using Spotify. I had to try a different recording platform, so it might sound a bit different (you might hear a few weird noises in the background; I don't know why the app does that). Let me know if you like the new music intro and the new format with no background music or do you prefer music in the background while I talk? Hopefully you can comment - I know they updated that too and I am beginning to see your comments again, (they disappeared during the update but I have been told to give it a couple of weeks and they will show up. I have also been told I can comment back to you now, which is so exciting! )
