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

What if helping your daughter feel stronger physically could also help her feel more confident on the inside?

In this episode, I’m joined by Shannon Johanson, personal trainer and founder of Barbells and Braids, to talk about the powerful connection between physical strength, body image, and confidence in young girls.

We chat about helping our daughters move away from comparison, develop a healthy relationship with food and exercise, and focus on what their bodies can DO rather than how they look.

In today's episode, we're talking about the emotional roller coaster of parenting teen girls, especially when they make choices we don't agree with. I'm sharing some encouragement and practical perspective to help you manage your own emotions, respond instead of react, and stay connected with your daughter through the hard stuff.

My favorite parenting quote ever: "The goal of parenting isn't raising a child who never makes mistakes. It's being a safe place for them to land when they do." 🧡

Come hang out with me for a life-lately catch-up!

I’m sharing a little about a recent mother-daughter trip that had me thinking about motherhood from a different perspective... not as the mom, but as the daughter. We’ll talk about playing the long game with our girls and remembering that we’re not just raising girls… we’re building relationships with the women they’re becoming.

I’m also sharing what I’m reading right now plus a beautiful moment that came up in a coaching session this week. 

And if there’s something happening with your daughter that you find yourself needing support with, I’d love to help you work through it. Reach out to me about private coaching and tell me a little about what’s going on. 💕

Have you ever had one thing your tween or teen daughter does send your brain into a complete spiral?

In this episode, I’m sharing one simple tool to help you slow down, notice the story you’re telling yourself about your daughter’s behavior, and respond more intentionally instead of reacting from worry or frustration.

This tool never fails me and lays the foundation for confidence too!
