About this listen

 Is your daughter shutting down emotionally—retreating behind “I’m fine” and silence when life feels too big? In a world that often confuses resilience with repression, many girls grow up without the tools or trust to process their emotions in a healthy, God-honoring way. This episode is here to help change that. Join co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden as they explore how to build emotional bridges with your daughter, not barriers. From personal stories of girlhood to faith-rooted wisdom, this episode will equip you with simple, practical ways to create a safe space for vulnerability—while still pointing your girl toward Christ. You’ll learn: Why girls often repress emotions—and how to respond with grace How to model emotional openness without oversharing Conversation strategies that draw her out instead of shutting her down What Scripture teaches about emotional honesty and trust You’ll also hear from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay on why emotional intelligence is vital to true resilience—and how the Bible affirms the value of naming our emotions, not burying them. This is a conversation for every parent who longs to connect with their daughter’s heart—and guide her toward the God who understands and cares for her completely. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode: James 1:19 – “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” 1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.
