About this listen

I am on a mission. A mission to help create a generation of young women that know who they are and stand strong in their own authenticity. In this podcast my goal is to connect with parents who, like me, know their daughters are beyond capable of incredible things and are looking for ways to remind them who they are.

In this podcast you can expect an honest approach. We don't sugarcoat the challenges being faced by our next generation and we address them head on the way they deserve.

From insight gained in my teen coaching practice and relying heavily on science-backed research we get right to the heart of what matters the most - helping parents build a solid connection with their daughters so that they can stand back with pride and watch her thrive!

  • Episode 24: You’re Not Stuck—You’re Scared (And Ready for More)
    May 14 2025

    That frustrating in-between space—when you feel stuck, tired, and unsure what to do next… but deep down, you know something needs to shift.

    What makes this episode different:

    This isn’t a hustle-your-way-out kind of pep talk. It’s a gentle, honest look at what stuckness really is: often fear in disguise. Whether it shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or just plain burnout, Aimee breaks down how to move forward—without needing all the answers first.

    Who this episode is for:

    Anyone who’s outgrown a version of themselves but doesn’t know what’s next. Moms, daughters, teens, or women in transition who feel like they’re stuck—but are really just scared (and maybe, finally ready for more).

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why feeling stuck is often just fear dressed up as “I’m not ready”
    • How we abandon ourselves to keep the peace or play it safe
    • What energetic roles we unknowingly stay trapped in
    • The smallest ways to shift when you’re too tired to “change your life”
    • A loving nudge to stop waiting for clarity and start moving with courage

    You’re not broken. You’re becoming. This is your sign.

  • Episode 23: Why “Be Nice” Isn’t the Goal Anymore (And How Good Girl Conditioning Teaches Us to Tolerate Misery)
    May 9 2025

    We grow up being told to “be good” and “be nice”—as if those are the highest virtues we can embody. But what if those well-meaning words are actually where the disconnection begins?

    What if being nice is just people-pleasing in prettier packaging?

    What if being good is really about being compliant?

    And what if this kind of conditioning doesn’t just keep girls quiet—it keeps women stuck?

    In this episode, we’re digging into the deeper damage of “good girl” messaging and how it wires us to:

    • Mistrust our own discomfort

    • Stay in roles, relationships, and careers that drain us

    • Choose likability over authenticity

    • Confuse self-abandonment for virtue

    We’ll also talk about how to shift this narrative in our own parenting—so our kids grow up kind and self-honoring, honest and connected.

    This one’s for every recovering good girl—and the cycle-breakers raising something different.

  • 22. How Confidence, Resilience & Mindset Are Really Built
    Apr 30 2025

    It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure about how to help your child build confidence, handle setbacks, or develop a healthier mindset. This episode breaks it down into small, meaningful steps that any parent can take.

    Through the real-life coaching journey of Makena, a teen who’s been steadily growing in confidence and self-trust, I’ll show you how powerful slow and steady progress really is—and how you can support that same kind of growth in your own child.

    This one’s for parents of girls who are perfectionists, overthinkers, or tend to be hard on themselves—and for anyone who wants to raise kids who are resilient, grounded, and confident in who they are.

    You don’t need to overhaul your parenting to help your child grow. Today, I’m expanding on Makena’s story—a beautiful example of what real, lasting change looks like. We’ll talk about perfectionism, mindset shifts, and how to help your daughter learn to trust herself more deeply. You’ll also walk away with three simple things you can start doing this week to strengthen her inner world and remind yourself that the small things you do every day matter more than you think.
