It's the last conversation of MID, Season Two, with our guest Alison Brahe Daddo. Ali was THE Australian model of the late 80s, on every magazine cover and on many a teenage girl's wall. She had a huge career here and overseas, and then she married the equally famous and swoon-worthy Cameron Daddo, backed right away from the industry, settled in LA and raised a family. Now, as Alison Brahe Daddo, or Ali, as very many of us know her, she's also become just the most honest, interesting voice about midlife and menopause and all the messy challenges it brings us. But in this episode, we're not actually talking about that. We're getting deep about surface stuff. Beauty, whatever it means to us - and let's be honest, there's a sliding scale of how much any of us can ever claim to have felt beautiful, at any age - is a beast in midlife. Because how we wear our age on our face and our bodies can feel so important, so crucial to how the outside world sees us, even as we know it's really the silliest of all our concerns. It often doesn't feel that way. Listen to Holly and Ali discuss how they're feeling, what they're doing about, and where they stand on the mistakes they've made in thinking and talking about our faces and our bodies as we move on through.

Raising confident kids starts with us! Our kids watch our actions and they hear our words and whether we like it or not sometimes they repeat our words (good or bad!).    The same goes for body image and self-esteem. They see us and how we act and talk about our bodies and food and they just emulate what they see.  Today we're talking about ways to help our kids be confident! Hope you enjoy! Jennifer P.S.

Principle Season 3 Ep 5This episode is about raising confident kids. Are we doing too much for them?Principles govern the consequences of our choices. So let's figure out what they are - especially when it comes to very important things like our relationships. We have two choices when we encounter a principle: 1) align with it; or, 2) ignore it to our peril. Take the principle of gravity: we can align with it– build a hydroelectric dam, start a skydiving company, build a ski resort, etc.–or we can ignore it to our peril and fall off a cliff. Gravity doesn't change. Our respect and alignment (or not) with the principle is the only thing that changes. Principles govern relationships, too. They, like gravity, are ancient and timeless. And we have the same choice: align or ignore. Learn how principles govern the consequences of all of our choices.

We highlight the importance of positive reinforcement and the power of focusing on children's specific efforts rather than labeling them. Furthermore, we extend this conversation to touch upon the need for boosting confidence in shy and excitable children as well.

How do you find balance in raising confident and independent kids while still serving them?Teaching confidence and independence involves knowing when to step back and when to step in. It's about offering guidance and support while allowing them the space to try, fail, learn, and try again.Encouraging them to try new things and praising their efforts—whether big or small—can do wonders. Celebrate their victories, but also teach them how to handle challenges and setbacks gracefully. Remind them that mistakes are stepping stones to success, not stumbling blocks.It's natural to want to shield our kids from life's challenges, but fostering independence is so important. Start with age-appropriate responsibilities and gradually increase them. Letting them make choices (even if it means a mismatched outfit occasionally) helps them learn decision-making skills. Allow them space to solve problems on their own but be there as a safety net when needed.As parents, our goal isn't to do everything for our kids but to empower them to become capable, self-assured individuals who can navigate the world confidently. It's a journey that requires patience, guidance, and a whole lot of love.You're doing an amazing job, friends. Keep believing in your kids, keep fostering their confidence and independence, and watch them blossom into incredible individuals.Episode Highlights: Finding balance in parenting.Raising kids with confidence.Capitalizing on the challenges.Our kids are more capable than we think.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon's WebsiteOrder your copy of The Entitlement Trap Here!This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Terra Mattson is a dear friend of Christian Parenting and someone I really look up to as both a mom and a woman of faith, so I cannot wait for you to hear from her today. Terra is a licensed marriage and family therapist and executive coach who authored Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace and partnered with Christian Parenting to develop the Helping Moms Raise Confident Daughter Courses. Today we talk about performance based parenting…what is performance based parenting and how do we know if we are doing it? The truth is being human is messy and it doesn't always look perfect so sometimes we try to become perfect and performance based---but the message of the gospel is the opposite of that. So how do we raise our kids with this in mind? How do we help them through struggles and point them to Jesus and his grace? We also talk about the importance of doing our own work in this area so that we can help our kids discover their identity in Christ. You will love this conversation! With love,Steph Thurling  Connect With Terra:Social Media:@terramattsonWebsite:www.terramattson.comLinks mentioned:Courageous BookHelping Moms Raise Confident DaughtersYou are Special by Max LucadoOur Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh: https://www.hellofresh.com/Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to another episode of Flourish-Meant! In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Nellie Harden, joining our host Tina Yeager to discuss a topic that is close to every parent's heart: How do we raise confident kids in a changing and unpredictable world? Nellie, a renowned family life and leadership coach, draws from her own experiences as a mother of four teenage daughters and shares valuable insights on instilling values, fostering self-esteem, and navigating the challenges of the second half of childhood. As a former homeschool parent with a background in biology and psychology, Nellie brings a unique perspective on raising children to become fully functional and independent young adults. Join us as we delve into the importance of vulnerability, open communication, and establishing a strong foundation for our children's success in life. Get ready to gain valuable tips and strategies from Nellie Harden on how to raise confident kids in an ever-changing world. Let's dive in! We discuss the challenges parents face in instilling values, appreciation, and confidence in their children, especially during the crucial second half of childhood when they are preparing to become fully functional young adults. Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode: 1️⃣ Establish and reassess family values regularly: Nellie highlights the importance of establishing and regularly reassessing family values to ensure they align with current circumstances and are meaningful to the family. By refreshing these values regularly, parents can guide their children towards success and instill a strong sense of identity and purpose. 2️⃣ Cultivate vulnerability and open communication: Nellie emphasizes the power of vulnerability within the family unit. By creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and loved, parents can build trust and help their children navigate the challenges of our rapidly changing world. Open and vulnerable discussions without interruption or sarcasm allow for genuine connection and growth. 3️⃣ Build self-worth and confidence: Developing a strong sense of self-worth and self-esteem in children is crucial for raising confident kids. Nellie shares practical strategies, such as the Holt system, which helps teens discover their values and make decisions aligned with their desired identity. By acknowledging and supporting their children's worth and confidence, parents can set them up for success in life. I am incredibly grateful to Nellie for sharing her wisdom and insights with us on Flourish-Meant.
