Welcome back to Raising Confident Girls. In this milestone 100th episode, your host Melissa Jones dives into an emotional challenge so many young girls experience but often struggle to articulate—feeling overwhelmed. Drawing from her work in Girls Positivity Club and the countless conversations she’s had with girls and their families, Melissa shares five powerful phrases parents can use to help their daughters feel seen, supported, and steady when their world feels too big.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The difference between true overwhelm and everyday stress—and why knowing the distinction matters for helping your daughter.
- How validating your daughter’s feelings builds trust and emotional resilience.
- Why simple, steady presence can calm a dysregulated nervous system.
- Five empowering phrases that help girls reconnect with their inner strength.
- Practical ways to model patience and compassion during emotional moments.
- How parents can guide girls toward understanding their emotions without shutting them down or rushing them through.
