If you have a daughter, you’ve most likely been warned about the “difficult” and “moody” teenage years. However, Chelsey Goodan takes a different approach in viewing teenage girls in her recently released book Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls. Building off of the lessons she learned from mentoring teenage girls for sixteen years, Chelsey highlights their inherent strengths and what we can learn from them as adults. Underestimated is not only a guide to help parents support their daughter, it also seeks to help women heal their own inner teenage girl. In this interview, we discuss achieving personal growth by embracing discomfort, understanding the pressures and judgment that girls face, and Chelsey’s top tips for fostering your daughter’s confidence.

Tune in to this episode of Claim Your Confidence where we talk about: 

• How shame, perfectionism, and self-doubt affect women’s confidence from their teenage years into adulthood
• Establishing open and honest communication with your daughter and the importance of valuing her perspective
• Shifting societal pressures and how the ways in which we speak about ourselves can impact our children
• Tips for helping your daughter feel included in discussions of rules, boundaries, and important decisions
• Meeting your daughter where she is and how you can help her explore her identity and build self-trust
