Welcome back to the Raising Confident Girls podcast! In this episode, we explore the “I’m not as good as her” comparison trap that many girls, from childhood to adulthood, fall into. With the influence of social media, these feelings of inadequacy can be overwhelming. We dive deep into where these thoughts originate, the different areas of life where they manifest, and how to support our girls through these challenging emotions.

Tune in to learn about:

• Common sources of comparison and self-doubt for girls.
• Specific areas where girls may feel they don't measure up.
• How to check in with your girl and address these feelings.
• The GROW method as a tool to help girls overcome the comparison trap.

As parents and guardians, we know how real and significant these feelings are. This episode offers valuable insights into why our girls might struggle with comparison and how we can empower them to rise above it.

In this week's episode of Raising Confident Girls, we tackle a topic that resonates deeply with many of us: the “Not Good Enough” myth. This harmful belief can hold our girls back, feeding into feelings of imposter syndrome. But it’s not just our girls who struggle with these emotions—many of us do too.

Join me as I share personal experiences and offer actionable strategies to help support the girls in our lives. We’ll explore:
