Description
Do you ever worry about your daughter losing her spark?
Are you unsure how to parent in this new tween or teen season without passing down your own insecurities or accidentally saying the wrong thing?
Maybe you’re watching her navigate anxiety, friendship drama, or even bullying, and you’re not always sure what to say, how to help, or when to step in. Parenting suddenly feels less physical and much more emotional, and you just want to stay connected while doing this stage right.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just want her to be herself and actually open up to me,” you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Raising Confident Teen Daughters, the podcast that helps you connect with your daughter so she can thrive.
Each week, you’ll learn practical, research-based ways to support your daughter through confidence dips, big emotions, friendship struggles, and the messy, beautiful work of growing up. We’ll talk about what to say in the hard moments, how to stay connected as she changes, and how to grow your own confidence as her mom.
I’m Kristen - former educator, confidence coach, and mom of three teen girls and one little boy. I know how heavy it can feel when your daughter is struggling. I’ve watched my own girls navigate this stage, and I’ve felt that same, “I don’t know what to do” panic so many moms feel.
For a long time, I did what came naturally - freaking out, giving advice, and trying to fix things when it all felt too big. But I learned that supporting her starts with slowing down, stepping back, and parenting with more calm and clarity, even when things feel hard.
Now, I help moms do the same.
If you want to feel more equipped, be able to respond with confidence, and stay deeply connected as your daughter grows, this podcast is for you.
So grab your drink, take a breath, and let’s walk this season together.
You’re not alone. And even through the hard times she can learn to thrive, with you by her side.

When your daughter is struggling, it can feel impossible not to take on her emotions as your own. In this episode, we talk about how to help without absorbing her anxiety, fear, or sadness, and why regulating yourself first is so important.
You’ll learn what co-regulation looks like with teens, whether it’s okay for your daughter to see you cry or know you’re feeling anxious, and what to say to support her without making things worse.
As challenging as these seasons are, they can build emotional resilience and help your teen and tween girls feel safe expressing big emotions.

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and I wanted to talk about a heavy but hopeful topic: what parents can do before it’s ever a crisis.
I’ll walk you through the four stages of suicide prevention, but we’ll focus most of our time on Stage 1, which is building connection and emotional health.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why “stage 1” is such a powerful prevention strategy
- The top pressures teens face (bullying, substance use, family conflict) and how connection buffers against them
- Simple daily prevention practices you can start today
- Scripts you can use when your child shares something hard
You’ll walk away encouraged and empowered. This is about what you can do today to strengthen the safety net around your child.

Last week was a heavy week for many of us. Between local and national tragedies, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Our girls are watching, listening, and taking it all in too.
In today’s episode, I want to bring us back to a core belief that grounds me through weeks like this: every human being has innate worth. When we truly understand that - no matter what - it changes the way we love ourselves and the way we see others.
You’ll hear:
- Why helping our girls see their own worth is so essential
- Practical ways to help your daughter process disturbing news
- How we can model respect and empathy when talking about people, especially those we disagree with
- A reminder that while so much is out of our control, we really can make a difference in our own homes
This is why the work you’re doing here is so important. It doesn’t just change your daughter’s life; it has a ripple effect on everyone she touches.

Is your daughter her own worst critic? Watching her be so hard on herself can feel so overwhelming as a mom. You want to help, but you’re not sure how.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about why so many tween and teen girls struggle with perfectionism and what you can do to support your daughter when she feels like nothing she does is “good enough.”
You’ll learn:
- Why perfectionism shows up so strongly for girls in these years
- The hidden cost of being too hard on themselves (and how it affects their confidence)
- Practical ways you can help your daughter shift from self-criticism to self-compassion
The good news is your daughter doesn’t need to let go of her high standards; she just needs to learn to see mistakes as part of growth!

Have you ever tried all the right tools in the middle of your daughter’s meltdown…only to realize nothing seems to be helping?It’s frustrating and discouraging, but once you realize her brain can't take in new information when it's in fight-or-flight mode, it's a game-changer.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I wish I had known earlier about building my daughter’s emotional resilience: that the real work happens on the calm days. Just like learning to swim, our girls need to practice coping strategies in calm waters so they can use them when the storm hits.
You’ll learn simple ways to help your daughter:
- Name and understand her emotions.
- Create her top 3 calming strategies that actually work for her.
- Practice those strategies regularly, even when everything feels fine.
If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who’s in the middle of the storm right now.

Your daughter’s emotions can feel big (and sometimes overwhelming!) for both of you.
But what if, instead of trying to calm her down right away, you could help her ride those emotions like a wave…and come out calmer, more confident, and more connected on the other side?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my favorite “wave analogy” from our girls’ confidence workshops and my own parenting journey. You’ll walk away with 3 simple steps to help your daughter feel her feelings in healthy ways - a skill that will help her for the rest of her life.
We’ll cover:
The ocean wave analogy that clicks instantly for kids and teens.
How to name and normalize emotions so your daughter feels safe to share.
Practical ways to “ride the wave” without shutting down or exploding.
How to guide her in a way that empowers her to process all her feelings.
Whether your daughter is 8 or 16, these tools can help her manage big emotions and strengthen your relationship in the process.
You've got this!
