Do you constantly worry about how your daughter feels in her body—but struggle with knowing how to help her feel strong and confident?

In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Melisa Holmes, OBGYN and co-founder of Girlology, we explore how body confidence isn't about looks—it's about health, self-respect, and social safety. If you're a single parent raising a tween or teen, this episode will help you understand how your words, actions, and even your silence can shape your daughter's relationship with her body for years to come.

  • Learn the difference between body image and embodiment—and why that matters for your child’s health.
  • Discover subtle ways your language may be reinforcing negative body talk—and how to shift it.
  • Gain simple tools to help your daughter build boundaries and social safety in friendships and dating.
