52 - The Most Important Thing You Can Do to Build Your Daughter's Self-Esteem

This one might surprise you because it's sooo easy to forget about: taking care of YOU. After my therapist reminded me of this last week, I knew I needed to record an episode about it. This is an especially important concept for us moms to remember during the summers when we are pulled so many directions with our kiddos!

51 - Don't Make This Mistake When Your Daughter Says She Doesn't Like the Way She Looks

It literally breaks our hearts as moms when we hear our girls say they're ugly, fat, etc. and our default reaction is to tell them how beautiful they are. However the timing of when we tell them that matters, as well as what we say before and after. Listen in to hear the framework for exactly what to say when this happens in your home so you're prepared to respond in a way that builds both connection and confidence.

Tune in to find out a better way to help them - and yourself - with comparison! (And if you're a fellow dance mom, you will relate to my stories from last week's competition!)
