👀👀👀 The Power of Presence Have you ever noticed how something that feels hard to do alone can feel a little easier when someone you trust is beside you? Maybe it's going for a walk when you're feeling overwhelmed, tackling a task you've been putting off, or having someone sit with you while you work through something uncomfortable. Our teen girls experience this, too. Whether they're recovering from a sport injury, navigating friendship challenges, cleaning their room, or working through a...

of emotions? We know the way out. Her emotions. My emotions. 😵💫 Sometimes parenting a teenage girl feels like living in a jungle. One minute she’s laughing with you in the kitchen.The next, she’s slamming a door.Twenty minutes later, she needs a ride to Starbucks. And somewhere in between, you’ve gone from “I love you so much” to “WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT?!” Sound familiar? But here’s the question I really want you to think about: When your daughter has big feelings…how much do...

Is self-criticism her motivational tool? “She is so hard on herself.” If you have a teen daughter who participates in sport, performance, or competition of any kind (including grades, appearance, and friendships), you may have watched this happen: She can immediately focuses on what went wrong. “I should have landed that.”“That was terrible.”“I know I can do better.” And your instinct may be to jump in with: “But you did so many things well!” Of course you want to help her see the good. But...

Ah Yes, my favourite. One little thing has somehow become THE BIGGEST THING EVER. And you can see the spiral happening right in front of you. So you do what any loving mom would do: “It's going to be okay.” “We'll figure this out.” “Take a breath.” And then… 😬 It doesn't work. She's overwhelmed. She's overthinking. When teen girls are overwhelmed, they don't need us to convince them that everything is okay. They need to know we have their back and to learn to find their way through the...

Why doesn't she believe it ? Hello Mom raising a teen daughter (or two, or three...)! You tell her she's beautiful. She brushes it off. You tell her you're proud of how hard she worked. She immediately starts listing everything she did wrong. You remind her she's funny, kind, talented, capable… And somehow, she still doesn't quite believe you. As moms, I think this is one of the hardest parts of raising teen girls. It's not that we don't tell them enough. It's that confidence isn't something...

...Well this is awkward*** Hello Mom raising a teen daughter (or two, or three...)! So she's doing pretty well. She has friends. She's satisfied at school. She loves her sport (or dance, or theatre, or art, or whatever her thing is). She laughs. She has fun. She seems happy. You might be wondering.... Why would she need something like The Happiness Path? And my answer is: She doesn't have to NEED it. She can simply Thrive. We don't wait until our daughters are struggling to teach them how to...

is getting a little crowded. One of the things I hear from teen girls again and again when I ask if they talk to their trusted people about what they're going through is: “They won’t understand. They have their own stuff going on.” Translation: “I’m alone in this.” Maybe it's friendship drama. Toxi comparison. A confidence dip. Big emotions. Wondering where she fits. Wondering if she's enough. The details might be different, but the feeling can be surprisingly similar. “Is anyone else...
