How do the words we say to girls shape the way they eventually speak to themselves?
This episode is for anyone who interacts with girls - whether you're a parent, teacher, coach, mentor, aunt, grandparent, youth leader, or simply someone who has the opportunity to influence a girl's life.
In this short episode of Empowering Her, I'm talking about how the words girls hear from the adults around them can slowly become part of their inner voice. The way we respond to mistakes, talk about appearance, praise achievement, encourage risk-taking, and even speak about ourselves can all influence a girl's confidence, self-worth, and ability to trust herself.
The beautiful part is that we get to be intentional about the messages we give them. Simple words like "I trust you," "You can figure this out," and "You don't have to be perfect" can help build confidence, resilience, and self-trust that girls carry with them long after the conversation ends.
Because empowering girls doesn't only happen during the big talks. It happens in the everyday moments - in our homes, classrooms, sports teams, workshops, car rides, and conversations.
One question I hope you'll take with you after listening:
Would I want her saying these same words to herself ten years from now?
If this conversation resonates with you and you want to go deeper, my book, Empowered Women Empower Girls: A Guide to Modeling Courage, Confidence + Self-Love for Our Next Generation, explores how the way we show up, speak to ourselves, and move through the world can help shape the next generation of girls.

As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.
I’d love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!
