What does it mean to embody true beauty in a world obsessed with appearances? In this inspiring episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay is joined by none other than Miss America* 2025, Abbie Stockard, to explore how faith, girlhood, and purpose can shine even in the most public of arenas. With grace and conviction, Abbie shares how her identity in Christ shapes everything—from her passion for pediatric nursing and her advocacy for Cystic Fibrosis, to her bold stance on inner beauty and self-worth in the pageant world.  A proud Alabama native and senior at Auburn University, Abbie has used her platform to raise over $200,000 for CF research and promote healthy habits in children through her “High Five for Kids” initiative. But what sets Abbie apart isn't just her crown—it's her heart. With remarkable vulnerability and insight, she opens up about the fire God placed in her belly and how her family and faith community nurtured that calling from a young age.  Patti and Abbie tackle big questions moms are asking today: How can we help our daughters dream big while keeping Christ at the center? How do we preserve the innocence and wonder of girlhood in a world that pushes girls to grow up too fast? And how can we teach our daughters to find their worth not in the mirror or on social media, but in the unchanging truth of God's Word?  This episode is a heartfelt celebration of young women who boldly pursue their God-given purpose—and a powerful reminder to mothers that your influence matters deeply. Whether your daughter dreams of a stage, a stethoscope, or something in between, this conversation will encourage you to walk alongside her with intentionality, love, and unshakable faith.  Don't miss this opportunity to hear from a young woman who's not just wearing a crown—but living out her calling to reflect the beauty and goodness of the King.  Learn more about Abbie and her work as Miss America at missamerica.org  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com   *American Heritage Girls is not affiliated with, nor does it formally endorse, the Miss America organization. While we are grateful for the opportunity to welcome Abbie Stockard—whose strong Biblical Worldview and devoted walk with the Lord inspire us—we want to clarify that her appearance at our event does not reflect an endorsement of the Miss America organization. Our enthusiasm for Abbie stems from her personal testimony, her character, and her commitment to living out her faith with integrity. 

What defines beauty in a girl's life—and who gets to decide? In a culture obsessed with appearance and constant self-curation, helping our daughters root their sense of worth in something lasting and true can feel like an uphill climb. In this heartfelt episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa invite moms to rethink what it means to help our girls embrace a Biblical view of beauty—one that's grounded not in trends, but in truth.  From glitter-filled childhoods to the pressures of tween and teen years, Rachael and Melissa reflect on their own beauty journeys, the beauty mishaps that shaped them, and how those moments can lead to deeper conversations about identity, confidence, and self-worth. Drawing inspiration from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute and the powerful truth of 1 Samuel 16:7—"People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart"—this episode offers both encouragement and practical ideas for having heart-to-heart conversations with your girl.  You'll hear honest stories about raising daughters in today's image-driven world, plus thoughtful talking points you can use to anchor your girl in the reality that true beauty flows from a heart being transformed by Christ. Whether your daughter is entering the “glow up” years or just starting to become aware of how she's perceived by the world, this conversation will equip you to speak life, confidence, and God's definition of beauty into her.  Rachael and Melissa also share how American Heritage Girls helps affirm each girl's God-given worth through programming that encourages spiritual growth, leadership, and character development. You'll even hear about glittery dress-up nights and wrinkled uniforms—proof that the beauty of girlhood isn't always picture-perfect, but it's always purposeful in God's hands.  This episode is a must-listen for any mom navigating the ever-changing waters of body image, peer pressure, and cultural beauty standards. Let it remind you that our girls don't need to meet the world's definition of beautiful. They were already fearfully and wonderfully made—and it's our joy to help them believe it.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Una barbie es una muñeca de plástico que se puede vestir de varias formas, pero como bien señala Emily Aguiló-Pérez, profesora en West Chester College, también es un aparato imperialista que tiene una huella particular en Puerto Rico.

We're really loving the nostalgia lately. This week's deep dive features a delightfully young Dakota Fanning and the forever quirky Brittney Murphy. Courtney and Rose again realize that the love interest in these Rom-Coms are just NPCs for a subplot that doesn't even matter. The men were actually wholly unnecessary. Which tracks, if we're being honest.

Adulthood may seem like a distant milestone for your daughter, but the habits, skills, and values she builds now will shape her ability to navigate life with confidence and faith. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa dive into the concept of “adulting” and why it's about far more than just paying bills or managing a household. True Biblical adulthood involves responsibility, wisdom, and a heart that seeks to serve God and others.  Drawing from Romans 12:4-6, the conversation highlights the importance of teaching girls everyday life skills—laundry, budgeting, meal prep—not as mundane tasks, but as ways to glorify God through stewardship and responsibility. Learning to “adult” isn't just about independence; it's about living out God's calling with integrity, resilience, and wisdom.  Through practical insights and personal stories, Rachael and Melissa discuss how to instill these values in your daughter, offering key conversation points to encourage responsibility, Biblical decision-making, and healthy independence. Whether it's involving her in daily tasks, teaching her to manage money wisely, or using moments of overlap in your routine to engage her in learning, this episode is packed with actionable ideas.  Plus, hear how the American Heritage Girls' Badge Programs equips girls with real-world skills that will serve them for a lifetime, from auto care to money management. If you're looking for ways to prepare your daughter to thrive in adulthood while keeping her faith at the center of her life, this episode is a must-listen.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

When social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, famous for chronicling her gender transition online in “365 Days of Girlhood,” posted a sponsored video promoting Bud Light, it quickly went viral, but not necessarily in a good way. “I would have never taken that offer had I known it would have brought me anything but joy.” She shares her experience in a new book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer (March 11). “I felt so supported by the internet and in my life that I wasn't really weighing the gravity of what working with a brand with that scope and that broader audience really meant.” But when the spotlight from “Beergate” shined on her, “there was this energy of, Do I just not talk about this? Do we pretend it didn't happen?... No! The way that I navigate life is to share. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to oversharing and so I couldn't not.” But with the book, a new podcast and other projects in the mix, Mulvaney is ready to focus on her ultimate goal: “This year, every decision I make is coming back to, Does this help me become a Broadway diva?”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How is Black girlhood defined these days? As we see fewer depictions of Black girls in the media, limited spaces for them to shop, and continuing adultification bias, it seems more difficult than ever to answer this question. Joining me to discuss the ways Black girlhood is defined is Dr. Lauren Mims, an assistant professor at NYU's Steinhardt School. Her research focuses on how sociocultural stressors impact Black children's development, and identifying strengths that can buffer the negative effects of bias and discrimination. She also served as Assistant Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans during the Obama Administration. During our conversation we discuss girlhood and womanhood through education, media representation, psychology, and even TikTok. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

In this episode, I'm talking to Rae Pears about her incredible work with Girlhood Reclaimed, a community interest company challenging the misogynistic narratives that impact young women, girls and anyone who has been socialised into girlhood.We dig into the reality of growing up in a world shaped by sexism and everyday misogyny shape girls' lives in ways many adults don't even realise. Rae shares why creating safe spaces for honest conversations is so important and how listening (really listening) to young people can make all the difference.We also talk about body image, societal pressures, and why it's time to stop telling girls to ‘just be more confident' and start tackling the systems that make them doubt themselves in the first place. If you care about making the world safer and more empowering for the next generation, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.Let's get into it.Trigger warnings: Discussion about sexual violence, eating disorders, misogyny Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Girlhood Reclaimed09:34 Understanding Misogyny and Its Impact on Young Women12:44 The Role of Social Media in Shaping Experiences15:40 Safety Work and Its Implications for Girls18:43 Creating Spaces for Joy and Resistance21:39 Body Image and Its Long-Lasting Effects27:02 Body Positivity and Liberation29:25 The Control of Dieting and Body Image31:15 Navigating Body Image as Parents32:50 Supporting Children Through Body Image Issues34:17 Creating Open Conversations with Kids36:47 Active Listening and Emotional Space39:00 Challenging Internalised Misogyny41:37 Normalising Conversations About Behaviour44:34 Engaging with Community and SupportAbout Rae Pears and Girlhood Reclaimed:My career started at 18 in youth and community work, where I very quickly began to realise my passion for working alongside women and girls, especially in the field of sexual and domestic violence. After having my three children, I began to move more into this field through voluntary work and eventually becoming a volunteer service coordinator for a women's mental health helpline. Two years ago I began my MA in Women and Child Abuse, which led me to leave my role in on the Helpline and set up my own community interest company, Girlhood Reclaimed. At Girlhood Reclaimed we aim to disrupt the growing dominance of misogynistic narratives through feminist research, awareness training, and safe spaces for young women, girls and non-binary folk, supporting them to make sense of their experiences and reclaim joy in their girlhood.Links:Instagram: girlhood.reclaimedBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/girlhoodreclaimed.bsky.socialLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/girlhood-reclaimedWebsite: www.girlhoodreclaimed.comConnect with Tamsin Broster Hey, I'm your host and I hope you love this podcast as much as I do.

February is often a month of the year that people get together to celebrate love, relationships, friendships and connection.But finding those friendships and relationships has become more and more difficult for young people as they try to make connections coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as they graduate college, move to a new city and begin their careers. In 2023, the World Health Organization declared loneliness a pressing public health concern and a study from Northwestern found loneliness peaks in young adulthood and old age. Kacie Riddle noticed many young people, especially young women, were craving a space to foster connection and new friendships. She started Girlhood Social Club last year, a Twin Cities based social club for young women to meet other young women through monthly events and social gatherings. The club has exploded in popularity in the last few months, with hundreds of girls attending her monthly events.Riddle joined Minnesota Now to talk about the community she's created through Girlhood Social Club.

The experience of girlhood in early national and antebellum America was both circumscribed and liberated by geography. Spaces defined who American girls were expected to be. Spaces, too, allowed girls to redefine themselves and to defend themselves against irksome expectations. Looking backward, the geographies of girlhood can be read as evidence of lives both intimate and public. While the “Southern Belle” occupies an outsized position in the popular imagination of the American past, does this caricature reflect actual lived experiences and identities? In her dissertation research Emily Wells, PhD candidate at the College of William & Mary, aims to find out. By investigating and recreating the geographies of girlhood in the American South, as defined by the legal practice of chattel slavery, among upper class white families, Wells seeks to go beyond the Scarlet O'Hara archetype to understand how girls defined themselves and understood their worlds. Wells suggests that before the Civil War, girls in the American South identified more strongly with their local, class, and extended family than with the South per se. In support of her research Wells received finding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Madyson Meyer sits down with Claire Foster and Aaliyah Riley to discuss what girlhood means to them, and how it's shaped their lives.

Paris tackles today's selection, which was suggested by listener Deborah, self-proclaimed Unrepentant Sinner! She wrote in to us last summer saying, "Would you consider an episode on a book popular in another era but one that is actually currently being sold to indoctrinate the home school religious zealots? Elsie Dinsmore was popular after the Civil War. I first read a copy that was my mother's or grandmother's. Elsie is this smarmy goody-goody who is despised by her daddy and the aunt, uncle, and cousins she lives with for being such a devout Christian...I have abhorred this book since I first read it but I so enjoy tearing it apart. The fact that people still buy it is so disturbing!” We had never heard of this series before so we were excited to add it to the schedule as it was a different terrible flavor for us - Victorian Christian child lit. Thanks so much, Deborah! We hope you enjoy the episode. Musings and derailments in this episode include:  Gentle Giant - I Lost My Head (Live, 1976) In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion or mention of ableism, grooming, parental abuse, racism, slavery, and Victorian-flavored Christianity. Mmm - lead!

Two books of essays consider the female experience through different stages of life. First, Kate Kennedy's One in a Millennial documents coming of age as a member of a highly-scrutinized generation. Her book explores the origins of millennial stereotypes and pop culture, but also focuses on the way that shared experiences of girlhood are often dismissed as frivolous. In today's episode, Kennedy joins NPR's Juana Summers for a conversation that touches on AOL Instant Messenger, college pre-games, and self-editing our own desires. We then hear from Jenny Slate about her new book Lifeform, a compilation of experimental essays that follow her life through five phases: Single, True Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing. Slate joined Here & Now's Emiko Tamagawa at a live event in Boston, where the two discussed the confidence it takes to write down our ideas, fear and bravery in love, and Slate's perspective on childbirth and motherhood.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

As the holiday season surrounds us, we pause to reflect on one of the most pressing questions for Christian parents: How can we raise daughters who live in the world without becoming part of it? In this special “Best of Raising Godly Girls” episode, we revisit Episode 044: Girlhood in the World, Not of the World, a powerful reminder of the unique calling on our girls' lives.  Originally aired in April 2024, this episode dives into the essential truths of navigating faith in a culture often at odds with Biblical values. How can our daughters be salt and light, influencing their peers while remaining steadfast in their identity as daughters of the King? This conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and encouragement for every parent striving to raise a Godly girl who boldly stands for Christ.  Take a moment to rest and reflect on these timeless principles as we prepare our hearts and homes for a new year filled with opportunities to guide our girls in their spiritual journeys. Let's equip our daughters to shine brightly in a world that desperately needs the light of Christ!  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org    Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

This episode of the Velshi Banned Book Club will confront the barrier to entry that surrounds poetry and tear it down by closely examining a masterclass in poetic storytelling:  “Brown Girl Dreaming” by Jacqueline Woodson. "Brown Girl Dreaming" follows Woodson's childhood split between segregated Greenville, South Carolina, and New York City. “Brown Girl Dreaming” is a beautiful look at childhood, identity, and racism in America. The Poetry Foundation's Young People's Poet Laureate from 2015 to 2017, Woodson proves that poems tell more in a few turns of phrase than many novels tell us in an entire chapter.
