#100 My High School Best Friend Natalie

Episode #100!!!! I'm so excited to introduce you to my high school best friend, Natalie. We met right after my 14th birthday, the week I moved from Louisiana to Texas about to begin my freshman year of high school. We had so much fun during our teen years, and you'll hear us talk about the good, the crazy, our parents, and then of course how all of that has affected how we parent our teens. One of my favorite quotes from Natalie in this episode:  "Worry is a wast of imagination. I'd like to imagine the best case scenario."  I invite you all to do that. Imagine the best.
