Mean Girls, Mom Roles & Modern Friendship: Coaching Kids Through Conflict :: Dr. Kelly Jameson [Ep 518]

Today Dr. Kelly Jameson joins me to help us understand the many dynamics of teen friendships. Although this episode mainly applies to girl moms there is advice for the boy mom in this episode as well! Kelly is a trained systems therapist who practices narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Through her many years of listening to families and teens, she has learned how to navigate the difficult years of teen and tween friendships and how to help parents coach their kids. Here is some of what we cover:

  • The rise of “friend hoarding” and large group dynamics in 2025
  • What qualifies as “mean girl” behavior—and why it’s all about power dynamics
  • Coaching sons to stay out of the drama—and why that matters
  • How moms are becoming more enmeshed in their kid’s friendships and the damage that causes
  • The 3 types of friendships every kid should understand
