Description
Do you ever worry about your daughter losing her spark?
Are you unsure how to parent in this new tween or teen season without passing down your own insecurities or accidentally saying the wrong thing?
Maybe you’re watching her navigate anxiety, friendship drama, or even bullying, and you’re not always sure what to say, how to help, or when to step in. Parenting suddenly feels less physical and much more emotional, and you just want to stay connected while doing this stage right.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just want her to be herself and actually open up to me,” you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Raising Confident Teen Daughters, the podcast that helps you connect with your daughter so she can thrive.
Each week, you’ll learn practical, research-based ways to support your daughter through confidence dips, big emotions, friendship struggles, and the messy, beautiful work of growing up. We’ll talk about what to say in the hard moments, how to stay connected as she changes, and how to grow your own confidence as her mom.
I’m Kristen - former educator, confidence coach, and mom of three teen girls and one little boy. I know how heavy it can feel when your daughter is struggling. I’ve watched my own girls navigate this stage, and I’ve felt that same, “I don’t know what to do” panic so many moms feel.
For a long time, I did what came naturally - freaking out, giving advice, and trying to fix things when it all felt too big. But I learned that supporting her starts with slowing down, stepping back, and parenting with more calm and clarity, even when things feel hard.
Now, I help moms do the same.
If you want to feel more equipped, be able to respond with confidence, and stay deeply connected as your daughter grows, this podcast is for you.
So grab your drink, take a breath, and let’s walk this season together.
You’re not alone. And even through the hard times she can learn to thrive, with you by her side.
xo, Kristen
