In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful but often overlooked skills for tween and teen girls: Empathy. How do we help our daughters navigate friendships, conflicts, and social pressures with emotional intelligence rather than just reacting? In today’s fast-paced digital world, where snarky comebacks and digital communication dominates, it’s more important than ever to teach our girls how to balance kindness with confidence.
We break down what the research says about empathy’s long-term benefits, from stronger friendships to future career success. Plus, you'll hear some practical tools for moms to help their daughters build emotional intelligence, navigate conflicts, and develop true connection with others. Whether your daughter struggles to see different perspectives or needs help handling mean girl drama, this episode is packed with insightful advice and actionable steps.
