Reader “If she’s feeling overwhelmed… I’m scared of where that might lead.” This is something I hear from parents all the time, especially when your teen is recovering from anxiety, an eating disorder, or an injury. You may have already seen how intense emotions can lead to coping strategies that feel unhelpful… or even unsafe. So the question becomes: Do we lean into the feelings… or try to contain them?

When you sense she’s slipping, even before there’s proof. And stepping in to intervene can feel so terrifying. This week, I had a moment that brought that feeling into sharp focus.

Welcome back, This week, I’ve been thinking about recovery in a different way. At the horse rescue where I volunteer, many of the horses arrive underfed. Some come with neglected hooves, untreated dental issues, or visible signs of physical hardship. The care priorities feel obvious. Nutritious food. Dental care. Farrier visits. Medical support. But one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned isn’t about feeding schedules or supplements. It’s about safety. Some of these horses startle easily, are...

Welcome, Whether you’re new here or have been part of the Raising Resilient Teen Girls community for a while, I’m really glad you’re here. Let me ask you something: If your daughter’s sport was suddenly taken away tomorrow… who would she feel she is? “I’ve always wanted to dance professionally. I don’t have a plan B.” My client sat nervously in front of me, chewing at the side of her cuticle. Her voice was steady, but her body wasn’t. And As we talked about surgery and recovery timelines, I...

DEEP WATER ALERT! Reader When it comes to getting REAL CHANGE in your daughter’s confidence… turning anxiety into action, self-doubt into self-trust, and fear into courage… It all comes down to what she tells herself, HOW she responds to fear, & most importantly… whether she says yes to living. Yes to living! Your daughter hears: “Don’t be scared.” “You’ll be fine.” “It’s not a big deal.” But fear doesn’t respond to logic. It responds to Action 🧡 I was TERRIFIED of sharks🦈🦈🦈 Like… TERRIFIED!...
