Do you wonder, like me, how to instill healthy self-confidence and resilience in your kids?
This conversation with my guest Tanya Meessmann made me think a lot about my responsibility to model confidence and resilience as a mom to my son and daughter. But especially for my daughter.
I remember the challenges of growing up and trying to learn and love myself as a teenager in the 1990s. (Raise your hand if you were passing those notes in class and rockin those Steve Maddens too!)
With even more amplified challenges - terrorism, financial crisis, 24/7 connection to technology, oh, and a worldwide pandemic! - how do we as parents give our kids a sense of stability, safety, and confidence in themselves?
Especially when we can struggle with anxiety, insecurity, and overwhelm ourselves. (Raising my hand)
Tanya and I talk all about these issues and much more in this episode.
Tanya is a mom and the founder of Girl Shaped Flames, a social enterprise dedicated to developing competence, courage and entrepreneurship awareness in teenage girls by connecting them with female role models.
The goal of Girl Shaped Flames is to raise the strongest, most confident, skilled and determined generation of teenage girls this world has ever seen.
We talk about:
How she became the confident mother and businesswoman that she is Her ironic imposter syndrome moment, which I know you will appreciate Why she started Girl Shaped Flames and the bigger vision for it The challenges that she sees that teen and tween girls experience today that erode their confidence And most importantly, what we as parents can do even as early as preschool to help our daughters to develop healthy self-confidence throughout their lifeConnect with Tanya:
