Oh that precious moment when you welcome your daughter into the world. It’s full of so many emotions: joy, love, and excitement about all the bows you can put in her hair (if that’s your thing). But then there’s the inevitable and uninvited comment from a family member or sometimes the random stranger in the grocery store: “What a sweet little bundle! But just WAIT until she’s a teenager!”

Insert. Eyeroll. Here. We’re done defaulting to difficult mother-daughter relationships in the teenage years and ready to empower our daughters to use ALL the potential they naturally have. Lucky for us we’ve got THE expert on the topic on the show today to help us out! Chelsey Goodan is the author of the USA Today national bestseller, UNDERESTIMATED: The Power and Wisdom of Teenage Girls. Chelsey has been a mentor and empowerment coach to teenage girls for 16 years and speaks regularly to audiences about gender justice. She serves as the mentorship director of DemocraShe, which supports and guides girls from underserved communities into leadership positions where her work focuses communication strategies that make everyone feel valued and celebrated, creating psychological safety for everyone from teenage girls to CEOs. She is also a board member for A Call to Men, a national gender-based violence prevention nonprofit that educates men and boys about healthy masculinity. Featured in TIME Magazine, Oprah Daily, and NBC News, Chelsey’s passion to explore humanity’s potential for authenticity, liberation, and empowerment permeates all her work.
