The Friendship Rollercoaster: Navigating Emotions in Friendships

Raising Confident Girls with Melissa Jones

This week on the Raising Confident Girls podcast, we’re diving into a topic many of us have seen firsthand or heard about from the girls in our lives: the Friendship Rollercoaster. Picking up from last week’s discussion on girl drama, we’re exploring the ups and downs that come with navigating friendships.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• The range of emotions that friendships can stir up—those exhilarating highs and unexpected lows.
• Common triggers that can shift these emotions, from misunderstandings to shifting dynamics.
• How we can encourage our girls to embrace, rather than avoid, challenging conversations.
• My “rollercoaster” metaphor and how it can help both parents and girls approach friendships with compassion and perspective.

By guiding our girls through these important conversations, we help them build resilience and nurture the skills to form meaningful, lasting relationships as they grow. Tune in to help your girl find her footing through friendship’s twists and turns! Share what resonated most with you in this episode and join the club on Instagram @GirlsPositivityClub!
