Reader, The other day my business coach said something that made me pause and smile: “You’re giving people a license to live big.” And immediately, I thought of the teen girls we serve. Because while coping skills are important (and we absolutely teach them), they’re not the whole story. They need permission. Permission to: take up space have all the feelings want meaningful friendships try new things live a life that actually feels like theirs Teen girls can become very good at coping....

This year, I decided to take on a big personal development milestone: dismantling my money stories. 💰💸 (10/10 recommend… if you enjoy personal growth and moderate existential dread Reader ) It’s been a doozie mix of: Excitement ✔️Courage ✔️Sweaty palms ✔️Fear of judgment, not being liked, being misunderstood ✔️✔️✔️ I was challenged to do something wildly uncomfortable for me. Post my BIG revenue goal inside a psychologists’ Facebook group. Not anonymously.With my actual name attached. I typed...

You opened this email up so I'm guessing you've found yourself in the past (or now even) saying "it's fine" when it's really not, am I right Reader? It often starts when we are young.... and Teen girls are often masters of keeping the peace. I know eye rolls and sarcasm are also things they are masters of lol, but I'm talking about the "it's fine" epidemic. Staying friends with the group even when they’re not getting the invites like everybody else. Smiling and saying “it’s fine” when school...

Hi Reader, The other day I was making crepes, which, by the way, are incredibly delicious for such a simple recipe. Would you agree? Also… the topping options? Endless. What are your favourite crepe toppings? 🍓🍫🍋 (Okay, reining myself back in.) So I was cracking the eggs into a bowl, I kid you not, this is how the yolks landed! And there I was, standing in my kitchen, with egg yolks smiling back at me. I laughed.Then, of course, I showed my teens (because yes, I am a little nerdy like that)....

Would you agree that teen girls are carrying more than meets the eye Reader? I've been noticing the silent pressure effect. Pressure to please others. Pressure to be kind & agreeable. Pressure to have it together even when they're not feeling it. From the outside, they often seem fine. But then underneath? There’s a lot of overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional weight that doesn’t always have a safe place to land. I wrote more on this in my latest blog.... about pressure, perfection, and...

Reader The other night, my son and his girlfriend were making taco dinner for us. Feeling luxury and gratitude, I was in the next room, writing this very newsletter. When I heard one of them say: “I’m putting love into every one of these.” I heard them as ... They teased each other.They sang while they cooked.They pulled my younger teen into the conversation.There was laughter, a little chaos, and a lot of warmth in the room. And as I sat there listening (and working- I swear I was working!),...

Reader SO glad you are here & part of our raising resilient teen girls community. If you are new here WELCOME! If you've been here a while- THANK YOU for investing in the ripple effect of a confident teen girl! When I walked across a frozen river a couple weeks ago, I noticed something important: My mind was trying to protect me… while also kinda trying to keep me small. Our brains are amazing at imagining everything that could go wrong. Sometimes that’s helpful. Other times it stops us from...
