Girls are struggling with self-confidence younger than ever, but as moms, we have more power to help than we realize. In this episode, Whitney sits down with Leslie Randolph, a self-confidence coach for teens and tweens, about what's really going on beneath the surface. From the pressure of social media to that quiet inner critic developed early on, they unpack the subtle yet powerful ways confidence can be formed or chipped away.   With years of experience working with young girls, Leslie shares powerful insights into when and how self-doubt actually begins, and it's earlier than you think. She also breaks down the difference between confidence (built through experience) and self-confidence (rooted in belief without proof), and why this distinction is important when helping girls feel brave enough to try new things, especially in a world that often values perfection over progress.   Leslie also dives into what it looks like for moms to model self-confidence in real, honest ways. Sharing our own struggles, showing up authentically, and having open conversations with our daughters can make them feel safe and seen. If you've been wondering how to help your daughter feel more confident without the pressure to be perfect, this is one you won't want to miss.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Understanding the patterns of doubts that form in teenage girls Buying things because of others vs. buying things because you want them How she helps girls connect with themselves and move to a place of true self-confidence Helping our kids when they speak poorly of themselves Giving kids the confidence to try new things How we, as moms, can model confidence for our kids Ways we can continue to genuinely connect with our teens Having conversations with our teens about not falling into the trap of social comparison Reflection question to ponder: How can I go first? How can I show, not tell?   **Calling Her In: **10 Soulful Journaling Prompts to Connect with your Future Self Join the waitlist for the next round of Season to Shift starting Fall 2025   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Leslie: Instagram | Website | Podcast: Why Didn't They Tell Us?

Today, we're tackling an issue that is becoming more and more common among our daughters—low resiliency. Have you ever watched your daughter give up on something the moment it gets hard? Maybe she quits a sport, refuses to study for a tough test, or simply says, "I can't do this" before she even tries? This is not just a parenting frustration—it's a generational issue. Studies on Generation Z show that many of our kids struggle with perseverance, often giving up when faced with difficulty. Today, we're going to talk about why that is, how it impacts their confidence and belief in themselves, and three ways you can help your daughter build resilience so she can face life's challenges with strength.

Many years ago, Stacey Thacker introduced me to her friend, Angie Elkins, who is an amazing woman of God and Manager of the Lifeway Podcast Network. I've had the privilege eating chips and dip with her once or twice, and so as Stacey and I were thinking about who we could invite to interview US, and help officially introduce you to our newest books, Praying for Teen Girls (by Stacey) and Praying for Teen Boys (by me, Brooke), we just couldn't think of anyone better! Thankfully, she agreed! When you tune into the podcast today, you can hear Angie ask us questions we haven't been asked before about these books (and our prayer lives), like: * What is something about your prayer life that people would be surprised to know? * What is the connection between our desperation as moms and having a vibrant prayer life? * What is the REAL reason we have chosen to be women of prayer? * How does it help my teenager for me to be a praying mom? * What do we do with the fear that comes when we're parenting teens? ...and more!

Description: In this podcast, Dr. Jordan describes 2 girls, a 4th grader and an 11th grader, who are stressed out due to over full schedules. Dr. Tim also describes 2 other factors that add to children's stress levels today: excessive pressure to excel and valuing achievement over character. Kids and teens have internalized the message that more is better and that everything that they do, grades and sports and activities, are done to improve their future outlook for college applications. This causes kids to get anxious because everything they do as kids now will affect their future. Dr. Jordan describes the need for time to refuel and reground themselves as well as ways that they can take breaks to destress and replenish themselves. Finally, it is critical that kids make self-care important so that they will regularly schedule such times no matter how busy they become.Resources:Dr. Jordan's previous podcast: Why rushed kids are lonely and stressedWatch for Dr. Jordan's new book, Keeping Your Family Grounded When You're Flying By the Seat of Your Pants, revised edition to be published late March 2025Join Our Community:https://www.facebook.com/DrTimJordanhttps://www.instagram.com/drtimjordan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-jordan-md-79799120b/

This is the fourth and final episode in a series I've been doing to share the key findings of a large 2023 study called The Girls' Index. The first focused on confidence and social media, the second on stress and well-being, and the third on school. Now, in this final episode focuses on the topic of leadership and relationships. As a reminder, The Girls' Index, the largest study of its kind, shared compelling data on girls in the United States, with 17,502 girls in 5th through 12th grades participating from schools nationwide. Researchers collected data for the first time in 2017 and then again in 2023. The purpose of the study was to better understand girls' thoughts, experiences, perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors so that parents, teachers, school counselors, faith-based youth leaders, neighbors, and others can figure out how to better provide support for girls and young women in today's world.  Listen in and learn!

Two teenage girls in South Carolina face charges for the brutal murder of 13-year-old Ka’Niyah Baker, whose body was found in a burned, vacant home in Columbia. A California woman faces 25 years to life in prison after being convicted of first-degree murder in the 2021 death of a 19-year-old college student. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What appeared to be a case of misconduct by a teacher in Louisiana turns out to be an elaborate hoax master-minded by a pair of teen girls, now charged with the set up. An Alabama woman charged with killing her husband and dropping his dead body off at the hospital now says someone else did it. Plus, a woman tried to flirt her way out of a DUI and it's all caught on camera! Jennifer Gould reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the last episode, I talked about the results of a major study on girls in the United States, and I shared some results on girls' confidence and social media. As a reminder, I'm talking about a major study that was published in 2023 called, The Girls' Index. The report highlighted compelling data on girls in the United States (I'm sure it is similar for other counties as well). It was the largest national survey of its kind, with 17,502 girls in 5th through 12th grades participating from schools nationwide. In this episode, I focus on stress and wellbeing. I integrate how these findings can inform our work with girls and young women in the Church and in society as well.

Although I love this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt - “No one can make me feel inferior without my consent" - I must say that teen girls are struggling right now and need help. In 2023 a large study, The Girls' Index⁠, reported compelling data on girls in the U.S. It was the largest national survey of its kind, with 17,502 girls participating. Researchers collected data for the first time in 2017 and then again in 2023. They explored things that would help anyone who influences girls (e.g., parents, family members, teachers, coaches, religious youth leaders) better understand girls' thoughts, experiences, perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. The researchers partnered with schools nationwide to survey girls in 5th through 12th grades.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be replaying our top episodes of 2024 while we spend time with our friends and family over the holidays! AKA the episodes you guys streamed the most!  Thank you so much for your support of the podcast in 2024 - we hope you have an amazing holiday surrounded by loved ones, peaceful moments, and memories in the making. Cheers!   This Spring at Hilliard Studio Method, we hosted a live Q&A with Dr. Liz Moran on all things hormone health. It was so popular that we knew we had to bring her on the podcast! In this episode, Dr. Moran - an OB/GYN and the owner of Premier Gynecology & Wellness - shares her perspective on how hormones change as we age, the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy for menopause, breast cancer, and so much more.   A native Charlottean, Dr. Moran graduated from Charlotte Country Day School, pursued her undergraduate studies at Duke University, then went on to medical school at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Dr. Moran has been honored annually by Charlotte Magazine as a Top Doctor in Charlotte since 2010.   Resources mentioned: Premier Gynecology & Wellness Listen to Ep. 137: Diving Into Hormones Pinwheel for limiting kids' tech access  Some key takeaways from this episode include: Perimenopause often takes place in a busy season of life for many women, so they chalk up symptoms like exhaustion to schedules and kids when they actually might be signs of hormonal changes that can be addressed with your doctor.  There is a link between estrogen and heart health. If you decide to utilize a treatment like hormone replacement therapy, know that there can be some risks, but you need to weigh the pros and cons with your doctor based on all the factors. Lab work is used to flag diseases, not to look for wellness. So if your labs come back in the “normal” range, continue getting a metabolic panel annually so you and your doctor can track trends within the ranges.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation. If you're ready to get in incredible shape, you can work out with us in-person at our Charlotte studio, join classes from home via Zoom, or sign up for our on-demand streaming service!

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     - Bullying is often an expression of pain, so leading with compassion for your child is often your best entry point.   - How to readjust your goal, rather than just trying to shut down your child's behaviors, for a higher likelihood of getting through to them.   - Examples of real-life scenarios that middle school girls may be experiencing and how to navigate them.   - The most common reasons middle schoolers act this way, so you can help you identify what the root cause may be to help you get to the heart of the matter.   - Conversation starters you can use to prevent your child from getting defensive and shutting down.   - At some point, this moves beyond exploring your child's feelings and these behaviors simply need to stop - when and how to transition to this point.     ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:

Richard Allen, 52, has been found guilty of the brutal murders of Liberty “Libby” German, 14, and Abigail “Abby” Williams, 13, in Delphi, Indiana. The verdict, delivered on November 11, 2024, comes nearly eight years after the teens' bodies were discovered following their disappearance on February 13, 2017. Jurors convicted Allen on two counts of murder and two additional counts of felony murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping after just four days of deliberations in a three-week trial at the Carroll County Courthouse. The case had captivated the nation due to chilling evidence, including a cell phone video recorded by German moments before her death. “This case has weighed heavily on the community for years,” said Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland during closing arguments. “The State has shown that Richard Allen is Bridge Guy.” The reference was to the video footage taken by German, where a man can be heard instructing the girls, “Guys, down the hill.” The clip had been instrumental in sustaining public interest and in the eventual arrest of Allen, a former CVS pharmacy tech. The trial's emotional weight was matched by the complexity of the evidence presented. A key component was a .40 caliber bullet found at the crime scene, later linked to a gun discovered in Allen's home. Although Allen had confessed multiple times to killing the girls, defense attorneys argued that these admissions were coerced after months of harsh treatment and solitary confinement in prison. They contended that Allen's mental state was severely compromised. “Richard Allen is innocent,” defense attorney Brad Rozzi maintained. “The pressure to solve this horrific case led to the State retrofitting evidence to make him look guilty.” Allen's defense had also pushed an alternate theory that an Odinist cult was responsible for the murders, citing sticks arranged in ritualistic patterns around the bodies. They claimed Abby Williams' clothes were used to dress Libby German, further suggesting ritualistic intent. However, Judge Fran Gull ruled that there was insufficient admissible evidence to support this theory, barring it from the trial. Throughout the trial, forensic evidence painted a harrowing picture. Blood spatter expert Patrick Cicero testified that Libby German likely survived for some time after her throat was cut before being dragged back to the scene where both victims were found. However, forensic pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr indicated there was no conclusive evidence of sexual assault, despite the gruesome nature of the crime. Allen's defense was further complicated by procedural missteps. The prosecution admitted to losing 70 days' worth of police interviews, including discussions with potential alternate suspects. The judge admonished Allen's attorneys for accidentally leaking sealed evidence, although they were later reinstated. Despite the challenges, prosecutors emphasized Allen's own recorded words, including a conversation with his wife in which he stated, “I did it. I killed Abby and Libby.” The jury's decision marks a long-awaited conclusion to one of Indiana's most haunting murder mysteries, but questions about the investigation's handling still linger. Allen is set to be sentenced on December 20, 2024, and faces a maximum of 130 years in prison. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #BridgeGuy #IndianaTrial #TrueCrime #LibbyAndAbby Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
