RAISING CONFIDENT TEEN DAUGHTERS | Self-Esteem, Self-Worth, Mental Health Education, Parenting, Friendship, Comparison

Life has a way of bringing storms we never saw coming, and our girls will have their own to navigate too. 

In this episode, I'm sharing what's been happening in our family's life lately and the reminders it's given me about how we can support our daughters through life's hardest moments. Whether she's facing anxiety, a friendship breakup, grief, disappointment, or another difficult season, our job isn't to help her avoid the storm... it's to help her walk through it with confidence, connection, and hope.

Wondering what to say when your daughter starts asking questions about periods and body changes?

In this episode, I'm chatting with menstrual cycle educator Briana Villegas to talk about how to make these conversations feel less awkward, when to start them, and why understanding their bodies can help girls feel more confident.

Whether your daughter is already asking or you're wondering how to begin the conversations, this will give you practical ideas and encouragement to help you navigate this important stage together.

A hurtful comment can stick with a girl for a long time.

Whether it was about her appearance, something she did, or anything else, it can be heartbreaking to watch your daughter struggle with the impact of these words.

In this episode, I'm sharing about one of the most popular confidence lessons I teach - a powerful way to help girls understand why hurtful comments seem to stick and what they can do instead. 🧡

This week I'm bringing back one of my favorite conversations because it's a struggle so many girl moms face. Teaching our girls the power they have to change their thoughts about a situation when they want to feel better is foundational to confidence-building. But why doesn't it work sometimes? There's an important first step you might be missing.

Listen in to hear some personal experiences where I was reminded of the importance of remembering this step. I'll also walk you through how to help your girls with their thoughts and feelings in a way that works.
