Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones dives into a tender challenge many parents face—when daughters feel left out, overlooked, or unsure of their place among peers. Melissa reminds us that a girl's worth isn't determined by who includes her, invites her, or validates her. It's rooted in who she is, not who chooses her.Tune in to discover:How to help your daughter navigate moments of exclusion with resilienceWhy her value has nothing to do with social circles, invitations, or popularityWays to guide her toward friendships that feel authentic, supportive, and energizingThe powerful impact your reassurance and belief have on her growing sense of self-worthThis heartfelt episode is a gentle reminder that confidence blossoms when girls learn their value is unshakable—especially when the world makes them doubt it.If you know a parent who needs this encouragement today, share this episode with them. Together, we can raise girls who know their worth isn't up for a vote.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

You don't want flowers.You want reassurance.If he can post a story, he can send a sentence that says “I care about you.”This episode is for every woman who feels crazy for needing words - because guess what? You're not clingy. You're not insecure. You're under-affirmed.We're unpacking why hearing “I love you,” “I'm proud of you,” or “I'm here” hits like emotional oxygen… and why silence feels like abandonment.If his silence makes you overthink,if you keep replaying one compliment for three weeks,if you've ever begged a man to just communicate —you're in the right place.Hit play and stop settling for men who “feel it” but can't say it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There will always be people who don't get you, or why you make the decisions you do. This is a good one if you need a reminder that you get to do life your way - and that's ok.

Dear boss babe... if you've been running on fumes, convincing yourself that one more post, one more story, one more reel will finally “get you ahead”… this one's for you. Because what if slowing down is the secret to your next big level? Today I am getting real about burnout, hustle culture, and the pressure to “show up” online 24/7. After taking a two-month social media break, she's sharing what really happens when you log off — and how rest isn't rebellion, it's a strategy. You'll hear her reflect on the fear of losing momentum, the courage it takes to disconnect, and the beautiful clarity that comes when you stop performing and start being present again. This episode is a love letter to every boss babe who's ever felt like the algorithm was running her life. If you've been craving peace, presence, and purpose beyond the screen — this one's your reminder to take your power (and your phone) off airplane mode.

In this episode of The Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica shares exactly what she's doing — and not doing — to lock back in with her health and fitness through the end of the year.She opens up about redefining what “locking back in” really means, how she's creating accountability without pressure, and why small, consistent changes always win over all-or-nothing extremes.This honest, motivating conversation will help you release perfection, rebuild momentum, and fall back in love with taking care of yourself — one aligned decision at a time.If you're ready to finish 2025 strong, this episode is your reminder: progress doesn't come from punishing yourself, it comes from recommitting to yourself.

Today's episode is inspired by our road trip back to the UK! We're focusing on how there are times in life where we need to avoid doing what others feel is the most exciting thing ever, and take our own needs into consideration, even if it's a bit dull.

Lesson 7: The Best Pep Talk Ever, 1 Corinthians 15:29-34

I denne episoden møter vi Kristi Mair fra Storbritannia. Hun er teolog, er nylig ferdig med sin doktorgrad og underviser ved Oak Hill Theological College i London. Hun deler raust fra sin reise som fagperson, menneske og kristen – og om hvordan spørsmålene vi bærer på kan forme oss både faglig, menneskelig og åndelig.  Kristi forteller om sin doktorgrad innenfor erkjennelsesteori og metafysikk, om hvordan hun har utforsket forholdet mellom sannhet, skjønnhet og godhet – og hvordan disse dype temaene har vokst fram ut fra hennes egne personlige livsspørsmål: Hvordan kan jeg vite hva som er sant? Hvordan kan jeg stole på at det finnes en virkelig verden utenfor mitt eget sinn? Samtalen berører også spørsmål om utholdenhet, åndelig omsorg og livsbalanse under krevende studier, og om hvordan den kristne troen har vært et bærekraftig anker i alt fra akademisk arbeid til hverdag og vennskap. Kristi deler også inntrykk fra Veritaskonferansen i Norge, der hun talte om sannheten om synd og nåde – og ledet seminarer om fake news, tillit og troverdighet i en tid post-sannhetstid. Til slutt forteller hun om sin tjeneste i All Souls Church ved Langham Place i London, menigheten der John Stott virket, og om sitt engasjement sammen med Andy Bannister i Solas Ministries, med podkasten Pep Talk som inspirerer kristne til å snakke om sin tro i hverdagen. Intervjuer er Lars Dahle som er daglig leder for Damaris Norge og professor ved NLA Høgskolen.

Dear boss babe — we need to talk. ... Because no one warns you how chasing funding can quietly drain the very energy you need to build your dream. If you've ever refreshed your inbox waiting for an investor's “yes” or felt your worth tied to a dollar amount, this episode is your reset button. Today I get real about the emotional side of fundraising — the burnout, the rejection loops, and the quiet self-doubt that creeps in between investor calls. I open up about her own journey raising money for Silkenn and how I have learned that capital isn't the only thing worth chasing. You'll hear my powerful framework for protecting your energy while still playing big — what she calls your “Energetic ROI.” Because when the process feels heavy, it's not about giving up; it's about learning to align. This isn't just a fundraising strategy session — it's a reminder that protecting your peace is leadership, and rest is part of the work, too. Key Takeaways: How to spot burnout early when you're in fundraising mode Why your value doesn't fluctuate with the size of the check What it means to measure success by alignment, not approval How to turn rejections into redirection Ericka's go-to mindset practices for staying grounded while pitching

This is the final episode of the 4-part series, 2 am Pep Talks. You can check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 by clicking these links. Today's episode is all about hope! It is essential to understand that this season of early morning wake-up times will pass. Sleeping through the night again will happen for you, even though you may wonder now if you will ever sleep enough to feel like yourself again. A perinatal mood and anxiety disorder can increase the likelihood of thoughts filled with self-judgment, negativity, and hopelessness. Having to attend to the middle-of-the-night details of infant care can, even without PMADs, leave you feeling wrung out, tired, and isolated. It's hard to maintain hope that this phase will shift when you are in the middle of it. Believe me, with time, practice, and support, everything will get easier, but it's often difficult to see through to the other side. Join me for today's discussion. Show Highlights: Identify one thing you are looking forward to in the morning–even if it's just that first cup of coffee! Nighttime care can feel monotonous and never-ending. Look at all the things you've learned! Take encouragement from other moms who can validate your experiences. Learn to validate your own feelings. Resilience and growth are yours to claim and honor. Tips for that middle-of-the-night time: Use visualizations and affirmations. Assure yourself that you are learning, shifting, and growing. Be gentle with yourself. You are doing better than you think! Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.
