Confidence vs Comparison: Rebuilding Self Worth Online
Description
Ever watched your daughter scroll and suddenly everything changes: her mood, her body language, her entire vibe?
One second she’s fine…
The next she’s tense, quiet, snappy, withdrawn…
and you’re left thinking: How can one little phone do this much damage?
In this episode, we’re diving into why social media hits girls so hard and how comparison, perfectionism, and online pressure slowly chip away at their confidence and self-worth.
You’ll learn:
- Why girls’ brains are more sensitive to online comparison
- How dopamine, cortisol, and constant notifications dysregulate her nervous system
- The link between social media and sleep, anxiety, and “mood swings”
- Practical tools you can use to help her feel safer, calmer, and more grounded online
- How to build her confidence offline so it isn’t shattered by likes, comments, or group chats
- The surprising thing your daughter needs most (and it’s not banning tech)
This episode is your guide to helping your daughter reclaim her sense of self without power struggles, shouting matches, or trying to police the internet.
And remember… she’s not addicted to her phone.
She’s addicted to feeling seen.
Let’s help her find that in ways that don’t break her.
