Welcome back to another episode of the Raising Confident Girls podcast! Even though summer has just started, this week's episode focuses on planning for the new school year, especially if you have a girl going through a school transition. School transitions can include moving schools, advancing grades, or those big leaps from middle school to high school. These changes can be challenging and stressful for our girls as they face many unknowns.

In this episode, I share actionable tips to make these transitions less intimidating and provide small steps you can start now to prepare for the fall!

Listen in for more on:

• What concerns and thoughts might be going through your girl's mind
• Different ways you can plan ahead instead of waiting until the fall
• 10 actionable things you can do to prepare your girl for these transitions
• How to keep your girl feeling supported and reassured through these times

Transitions can always be tough, even more so when our girls are going through other changes in their life. Taking the extra time to ensure they are supported and feeling prepared for the changes to come is crucial.

Tune in and let's make these transitions smoother together!

Welcome back to another episode of the Raising Confident Girls podcast! Today, we're diving into a topic that not only affects our girls, but can be crucial for anyone in a growth phase or trying something new. We're talking about inner doubts and the secret fear that “something is wrong with us” if things don't go our way or if we don't excel immediately.

In this episode, we'll explore how these fears and thoughts might impact our girls and how we can support them every step of the way. We'll show them that these fears are not as big as they seem and provide them with the best coping skills to process these thoughts the next time they arise.

Tune in for more on:

• Creating a safe and open space for communication about these fears.
• Reassuring and providing the best affirmations for the girls in your life.
• Tools you can use to offer different perspectives.
• Checking in with our girls and noticing changes in their behavior to know when to bring up these conversations.

The most important part is letting our girls know that we support them 100% and are here beside them every step of the way. Whether as a person to talk to or someone to lean on, being available for our girls in any way they need is essential!
