Description

Why do so many confident girls begin to shrink during adolescence?
In this episode we dive into the emotional and developmental forces behind self-doubt and comparison — and how moms can help their daughters rebuild self-worth from the inside out.

We’ll explore how it is related to the adolescent brain, the impact of social media and peer dynamics, and the quiet ways perfectionism creeps in. You’ll learn practical, research-backed strategies to interrupt the cycle of negative self-talk and nurture lasting confidence — without needing to “fix” your daughter.

This episode is packed with insight, validation, and tools you can use today — including a free download, Say This, Not That: Reframing Self-Talk, designed to help moms and daughters shift harmful inner narratives into empowering ones.

If your daughter is struggling to believe in herself — or if you’re wondering how to show up with more compassion and less pressure — this one’s for you.
