Send a textIn this episode of The Daughtered Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Susan Schwartz, a Jungian analyst, clinical psychologist, and author of The Absent Father Effect on Daughters. With decades of experience working with women across all stages of life, Dr. Schwartz has seen firsthand how a father's emotional presence — or absence — can shape a daughter's identity, confidence, and relationships for years to come.In this conversation we explore:• Why daughters feel emotional absence so deeply• The difference between being home and being truly present• How fathers influence their daughters' self-worth and development• Why many fathers were never taught emotional connection themselves• The powerful role awareness plays in breaking generational patternsOne of the most powerful ideas discussed is that fathers influence their daughters far more than they realize — even through subtle emotional signals and unspoken expectations.This conversation isn't about guilt... It's about awareness.Because when fathers become more intentional with their presence, they have the power to change not only their daughters' lives — but the generations that follow.Dr. Schwartz's WorkSusan's Instagram 00:00 Father Absence Crisis01:26 Podcast Welcome02:23 Why Fathers Matter03:29 Guest Background05:47 Daughter Impact09:13 Nature Versus Nurture11:02 Pregnancy Influence14:00 Single Mother Context15:50 Filling The Void18:36 Emotional Absence19:18 Host Personal Reflection20:46 Emotional Honesty as Dads21:32 Fear of Messing Up23:31 Raising Girls vs Boys25:21 Beyond Parenting Recipes26:49 Fathers Thoughts Shape Daughters29:01 Know Your Daughter Deeply31:25 Dialogue Builds Connection34:04 How to Be Present36:47 Books Resources and FarewellGuest Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the guests.

It’s happening younger than ever. Girls as young as five are worrying about their weight, and by age nine the insecurities can hit hard. In this episode we unpack a listener’s heartbreaking question: “Is my daughter pretty enough?” - and share the practical steps that protect kids from body image pain without making it worse. KEY POINTS Body image worries now start between ages 5–9 for many girls Why reassurance backfires & curiosity helps The 3-step approach: Curious → Validate → Reframe Teach function over appearance to build positive body appreciation The strongest predictor: how parents talk about their own bodies What mothers model → daughters absorb (instantly & powerfully) QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Don’t rush in with reassurance - get curious, not furious.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Misconnection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk by Justin Coulson The Misconnection Summit Enough - A video resource for teen girls ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Get Curious (Not Furious): Ask where comments came from before correcting. Validate the Feelings: “That must have felt really crummy. I’m glad you told me.” Reframe: Shift to body function (what it does, not how it looks). Model Neutral-to-Positive Self Talk: No dieting talk, no body bashing, no opting out of photos. Build Gratitude for the Body: Surfing, running, hugging- celebrate capability.

What does it look like to raise daughters who know they are loved, have a voice, and live from grace instead of fear?In this episode, we sit down with our longtime friend Tara Mattson to explore the heart behind Courageous Girls and why discipleship, identity, and emotional health matter so deeply for the next generation. We talk honestly about parenting out of our own stories, helping girls (and boys) find their voice, navigating shame and anxiety, and creating healthier families and church communities rooted in grace. Along the way, we reflect on the unique role moms and dads play, the power of curiosity and humility, and our shared hope of seeing a generation grow up secure, connected, and free to use their gifts in God's Kingdom.Support the show

On this week's episode, we talk about current societal trends impacting women and girls, leading them to believe that they are always on show and that the way they look is the most important thing about them. Thankfully, we have a trusted companion to do so in Oona Hanson. Oona Hanson is an educator and parenting coach. Through her writing, workshops, and private consultations, she supports families in raising kids who have a healthy relationship with food and their body. She has been featured in television programs, like Good Morning America, and her work has been featured in various publications, including People, USA Today, US News & World Report, Today, CNN, and The Washington Post. In our time together, we unpack a recent article Oona wrote for CNN, entitled, The Life of a Girl Who's Always on Show: Help Your Daughter Navigate a World That's Constantly Judging Her Looks. Specifically, we talk about the showgirl imagery in Taylor Swift's latest album, how we might interact with the next generation around the prevalence of weight loss ads, and the recent TikTok, now banned hashtag, #skinnytoc.Buy Melissa L.

What does it really take for a girl to grow up liking herself in a world that constantly tells her she's not enough? In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, I sit down with bestselling author and researcher Kasey Edwards to unpack the key ideas behind her book Raising Girls Who Like Themselves. Kasey and her husband, Dr Christopher Scanlon, spent 10 years investigating what helps girls develop genuine confidence, strong self-worth, and a clear sense of who they are. Together, we explore the seven foundations that help girls feel strong and secure: • Body ownership & body safety How everyday rules about clothing, affection, and appearance shape a girl's belief about who her body belongs to, and how body autonomy protects her throughout her life. • Confidence built on mastery Why stepping back, letting kids try hard things, and allowing them to fail is essential for resilience and true self-esteem. • Moving beyond beauty-focused praise Girls hear more appearance-based comments than anything else. Kasey explains the hidden harm behind this, and what to focus on instead to build inner strength. • The “power perspective” A simple shift that teaches girls to value their own opinions over external approval, including Kasey's brilliant “flipping praise” strategy. • Teaching girls to ask, not hint How socialisation teaches girls to wish, hint, and wait, and how to help them ask directly for what they want. • Independence, responsibility & speaking for themselves The small daily interactions that shape a girl's confidence at school, socially, and with adults. • Raising a girl who is truly herself Kasey shares the idea of “seed parenting vs stone parenting,” and how nurturing who our kids naturally are helps them thrive. This is a warm, honest, and deeply practical conversation for any parent raising daughters in today's world. Listen now If you're raising a girl, or you simply want to better understand how to support the girls in your life, this episode is a must-listen. Want more support?

In this episode, I sit down with Angela, our Associate Worship Director at The Heights. While her title only tells part of the story, Angela does far more—she leads both our kids' and adult choirs and has a remarkable gift for helping people encounter Jesus through music. She and her husband, AJ, have raised three daughters—two in college and one already in the working world. Together, we talk about worship, guiding kids toward Jesus, and the joys and challenges of parenting. Join us for a thoughtful and encouraging conversation!

The turkey might still be thawing, the pies may or may not be homemade, and your kids might not be feeling especially thankful—but this Thanksgiving, the Raising Godly Girls Podcast invites you to look beyond the checklist and rediscover the heart of gratitude.  Join Rachael Culpepper, Executive Director of American Heritage Girls, and Melissa Bearden for a thoughtful and faith-filled conversation about what it means to raise daughters who choose gratitude even when it doesn't come naturally. With honest reflections, Biblical insight, and a few laughs along the way, Rachael and Melissa unpack how gratitude is not just a seasonal feeling—it's a spiritual discipline rooted in nearness to God.  Drawing from James 4:8 and Luke 14, they remind moms that gratitude grows when we draw near to the Lord and accept His invitation to the table of thanksgiving. From small car-ride conversations to setting the Thanksgiving table together, you'll learn simple, tangible ways to help your daughter practice gratitude that lasts longer than the leftovers.  Plus, hear from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in a special Raising Godly Girls Minute—a timely reminder to turn expectations into invitations, and holiday stress into holy celebration.  Whether you're hosting family or sneaking an extra slice of pie in peace, this episode will encourage you to keep "the first things first" and model what it means to live thankful, even when you don't feel like it.    Three Things to Remember:  Gratitude is a choice, not a feeling. Choosing thankfulness (even in difficult seasons!) draws your heart closer to God.  Extend intentional invitations. Invite your daughter into moments of gratitude through small acts of connection and love.  Model resilient thanksgiving. Let your own steady gratitude remind her that joy isn't dependent on circumstances, but on Christ's unchanging goodness.    Scripture Referenced in This Episode:  James 4:8 – "Come near to God and He will come near to you."  Luke 14:15–24 – The Parable of the Great Banquet: God's open invitation to come and celebrate at His table.  1 Thessalonians 5:18 – "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  Psalm 100:4 – "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise."    Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Joining me this week is Kate Rope. We're talking about how parents can raise daughters who feel strong, capable, and deeply connected to themselves, while also supporting our own mental health as parents.   Together we explore:   - How to parent from hope (rather than fears) and why this can help your child feel safer, more capable, and resilient. - How identifying your family's "North Star values" can guide you through tough parenting decisions. - The deceptively simple, yet powerful shift of pausing and listening before reacting. - Practical ways to nurture assertiveness, support healthy friendships, and help girls trust their inner voice. - Why our own self-care and modeling are essential to raising strong, emotionally secure kids. - How to create everyday opportunities for girls to practice autonomy, confidence, and consent.   Whether you're raising a daughter or simply want to strengthen the emotional wellbeing of the kids in your care, this conversation is filled with insight, validation, and real-life strategies you can start using right away.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Dave and Bethlie continue their  multi-part series on the book Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp.   PART 3 4.  His comments about the ROD are really good in chapter 11 Children are not born morally and ethically neutral If they are they don't need correction, just direction If they are not, then they need correction Our child's problem is that he or she is a sinner! p. 102. Folly is the problem we have to address according to proverbs Folly is not childishness Folly describes the person who does not fear God A fools life is run by his desires and fears The fool lives out of the immediacy of his lusts, cravings, expectations, hopes, and fears The issue is authority Will a child live under the authority of God and his parents? Will he/she live under their own authority? All children choose to live under their own authority: I don't want my diaper changed I don't want to sit quietly at the table during this meal You are going to make me and if you do I will scream and throw a huge fit Leave this to take root and grow, and it produces “a rebellious teenager who will not allow anyone to rule him.” “God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition.” p. 103 “Confrontation, with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking, renders an implacable child sweet.” (p. 103) The quote on p 103 is massively important            4.  The rod's function It imparts wisdom Pr 29:15, which is tied to the fear of god “It creates an atmosphere in which instruction can be given. The spanking renders the child compliant and ready to receive life-giving words.”  (p 104) Tripp deals with the question - don't all children eventually learn to obey? He say NO!! Proverbs 29:15, 17

#SWAMPWATCH / #PARENTING with Justin Worsham: Research suggests that raising girls is more stressful than boys. Stop Helicopter Parenting and Start Panda Parenting, Say Experts.

New York Times bestselling author, therapist, and social philosopher Michael Gurian joins me for a fascinating conversation about the brain science behind why boys and girls often need different things—and how understanding these differences can help us raise emotionally healthy, resilient kids.   Together we explore:   The difference between sex and gender. Why boys' brains often orient more toward spatial and kinesthetic activities, and how this shapes the way they bond and communicate. The surprising brain-based reason empathy often comes more easily to girls than boys and how to nurture empathy in boys. How school systems unintentionally disadvantage boys and practical things parents can do at home to help them thrive. Why “use your words” doesn't always work for boys—and how to support emotional expression in more body-based, multisensory ways. The crucial distinction between healthy aggression and violence and why rough-and-tumble play can actually build resilience and connection. How maternal and paternal nurturing styles differ and how each uniquely supports children's development. How understanding these biological and developmental differences can help reduce conflict, build trust, and support each child's unique strengths.   If you're curious about what neuroscience can teach us about the different ways boys and girls develop, connect, and express themselves—and how this understanding can help you parent more effectively—this episode is filled with research-based insights and practical tools you won't want to miss!   LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

What does it mean to be beautiful in a culture that constantly shifts the standard? How can moms raise daughters to be confident in who God made them to be—without getting caught up in the world's obsession with image and appearance? In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa open up about their own girlhood experiences with beauty standards shaped by pop culture, from magazine quizzes to celebrity beauty icons. Together, they explore how those early messages still linger today—and how our daughters now face even greater pressure in the age of social media.  With honesty, humor, and heartfelt faith, Rachael and Melissa reflect on the growing trend of “Get Ready With Me” videos that invite girls as young as eight to model their beauty routines for an online audience. Drawing wisdom from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, they confront how easily young girls begin to equate their worth with how they look, rather than who they are in Christ. Through the lens of Romans 12:2, they offer a compelling call to raise girls who are not conformed to the patterns of this world, but who are transformed by the renewing of their minds—anchored in Biblical truth and Godly confidence.  Listeners will be invited into a grace-filled, practical conversation about where beauty and faith intersect. From vulnerable anecdotes about personal image struggles to actionable conversation starters for moms and daughters, this episode provides a roadmap for shaping a Christ-centered understanding of beauty. You'll hear how small moments—like bedtime chats or quiet prayers—can become holy ground for heart-deep conversations, and how even something as simple as an AHG badge can become a meaningful tool for discipleship.  If you've ever wondered how to help your girl navigate a world obsessed with filters, fashion, and false standards, this episode will encourage you to pause, pray, and speak truth into her heart. Join us as we explore how to raise girls who know their worth, not by how the world sees them, but by the eyes of a loving God who calls them fearfully and wonderfully made.   Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

We must protect our children from lousy friends. The Simple (they lack wisdom) The Fool (makes fun of sin; ridicules righteousness) Lousy friends can quickly undo everything we teach our children Better to have no friends than to have lousy ones Amnon (Old Testament) had a friend and it eventually cost him his life A good friend does right and helps you do right We must protect our children from lousy friends Choose their friends Insist they sit with you rather than friends Never allow them to be unsupervised (alone) No overnight in another home No teens alone in a car No teens alone on a trip No teens alone in a room Drop out of sports rather than allow teammates to influence your kids in lousy direction

We are seriously losing our minds over this podcast episode. Dr. Michael Gurian has been one of our go-to sources for boys and girls and development as long as we've been in practice. We were thrilled to get to meet him over zoom and he was every bit as wise and thoughtful and wonderful as we imagined. We can't wait for you to listen in on this episode as he talks about so many helpful things…boys and girls and how they learn differently, how to nurture their nature and even what the Bible and brain research says similarly when it comes to kids. This episode is one you're going to want to share with the teachers in your life, too, as the Gurian Institute is in the forefront of brain-based, research-driven, strategies-focused training for parents and educators (and basically anyone who cares for kids of any age!)
