Did you know that 80% of ten-year-old girls have already been on a diet, or that 80% of American girls are unhappy with their bodies by age 17? Add in the hours spent on social media, and it’s no wonder our girls are drowning in lies about beauty, worth, and perfection.

In today’s episode, I expose three of the biggest lies shaping our girls’ self-worth and identity. I share the moments when I believed my value was tied to the scale, and the time I realized my girls needed to experience challenges in order to build strength.  

These aren’t easy truths, but we need to face them if we want our daughters to grow up confident and resilient. You can’t teach what you don’t believe. It’s time to replace the old lies with new truths because you’re not just raising a daughter—you’re shaping a legacy. 

Conclusion:

Every day, our daughters are watching how we speak, how we struggle, and how we show up for ourselves. The way we model self-acceptance, resilience, and grace becomes the foundation they build on. 

Change doesn’t happen overnight, but with every intentional choice, we can rewrite the story for the next generation.
