12 Ways Girls Give Their Power Away


Listen Later

Girls often cage themselves within their own circle, unafraid to venture out of their comfort zone and remain stuck without a chance to grow. Why do they let this happen? Here are 12 ways girls give their power away and how it costs them.
Dr. Jordan explains reasons why girls and women give their power away, including good girl conditioning, risks she faces if she speaks out and advocates for herself, and the numerous mixed messages that confuse girls.
Listen as Dr. Jordan shares lots of real-life stories about how girls give their power away including: not asking for what they want, make decisions so others will like them or not be disappointed, make everyone happy and put everyone else’s needs above theirs, compare themselves to others, give up parts of them to fit in, not handle conflicts directly, allow words to hurt them, and not trusting their intuition.
You will also learn how these habits cost girls in terms of confidence, self-esteem, happiness, and success.
