About this listen

What defines beauty in a girl’s life—and who gets to decide? In a culture obsessed with appearance and constant self-curation, helping our daughters root their sense of worth in something lasting and true can feel like an uphill climb. In this heartfelt episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa invite moms to rethink what it means to help our girls embrace a Biblical view of beauty—one that’s grounded not in trends, but in truth. From glitter-filled childhoods to the pressures of tween and teen years, Rachael and Melissa reflect on their own beauty journeys, the beauty mishaps that shaped them, and how those moments can lead to deeper conversations about identity, confidence, and self-worth. Drawing inspiration from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay’s Raising Godly Girls Minute and the powerful truth of 1 Samuel 16:7—"People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart"—this episode offers both encouragement and practical ideas for having heart-to-heart conversations with your girl. You’ll hear honest stories about raising daughters in today’s image-driven world, plus thoughtful talking points you can use to anchor your girl in the reality that true beauty flows from a heart being transformed by Christ. Whether your daughter is entering the “glow up” years or just starting to become aware of how she’s perceived by the world, this conversation will equip you to speak life, confidence, and God’s definition of beauty into her. Rachael and Melissa also share how American Heritage Girls helps affirm each girl’s God-given worth through programming that encourages spiritual growth, leadership, and character development. You’ll even hear about glittery dress-up nights and wrinkled uniforms—proof that the beauty of girlhood isn’t always picture-perfect, but it’s always purposeful in God’s hands. This episode is a must-listen for any mom navigating the ever-changing waters of body image, peer pressure, and cultural beauty standards. Let it remind you that our girls don’t need to meet the world’s definition of beautiful. They were already fearfully and wonderfully made—and it’s our joy to help them believe it.
