Challenges in life are guaranteed!

In this childhood training ground for adulting (otherwise known as being a teenager), helping your child walk through challenges is one of the hardest experiences as a parent.

But, without that push out of the nest, they never learn to fly and become an advocate for themselves. This is a practice, not a one-and-done skill. WHY? Because we have to be advocates for ourselves (and one day our families, friends, and more) and the many ways that this is required of us are as diverse as the wildflowers.

So, the more practice the better, but there are 6 things that need to be taught and practiced when facing this self-leadership hurdle.

Check out Episode 62- The 6 Things You Have To Teach Her To Become a Self-Advocate!

About the Host:

Nellie Harden is a wife of 20+ years, mom to 4 teen/tween daughters, dreamer, adventurer, servant, multipreneur, forever student, and a devoted teacher, but her career passion is her work as a Family Life & Leadership Coaching, especially for parents of young women ages 9-18yo. 

Coming from a career background in marine mammal sciences, behavioral work, and a host of big life experiences, both great and some not-so-great, she decided that designing a life of purpose and freedom was how she and her husband, along with their 4 daughters, wanted to live. 

Her work and passions exist in the realms of parenting and teen mentorship because she believes that a family filled with creativity, fun, laughter, challenge, adventure, problem-solving, hugs, good food, and learning can not only change a person’s life but is the best chance at positively changing the world. 

She helps parents to stop wasting time and energy in power struggles so they can focus on building their daughter’s worth, esteem, and confidence as young women before they ever leave home.

With a lifelong passion and curiosity in thought, choice, behavior, and growth she has found incredible joy in helping families shift perspective, and find answers, and a path forward.

(Nellie has been coaching families for over 10 years and has degrees in Biology, Animal Behavior, and Psychology. )
