What does it really mean to raise powerful daughters in today's world? In this episode of Pivot Parenting, I sit down with Aubin Palmer, author of Power Women, to explore how mothers can model strength, confidence, and resilience in ways that empower the next generation. Aubin shares her transformative acronym P.O.W.E.R., breaking down how each element can be lived out and passed on—not by lectures, but by example. Together, we talk about the subtle ways moms accidentally give away their power, how to reclaim it with intention, and why embodying self-love, faith, and courage creates a legacy that daughters naturally inherit. If you've ever wondered how to guide your teen girl toward confidence without pushing or preaching, this conversation will give you both clarity and encouragement.  Don't miss this empowering episode—and while you're at it, grab Aubin's book Power Women and my book Mom Got Jesus Wrong, Hallelujah! so you can keep building the tools, perspective, and love your family needs. About my guest: Aubin is a life and business coach devoted to lighting the fire within power women to step into their full potential. Based in utah she is the proud mother of 3 girls- the next generation of power women.
