Teen girls today are feeling immense pressure to have their lives figured out—leading to anxiety, loneliness, and even an existential crisis.
In this episode of we explore why so many teen girls struggle with self-doubt, uncertainty about their future, and a deep sense of loneliness. Rather than focusing on a grand life purpose, the key to helping them is fostering connection, belonging, and a sense of being needed. We dive into research on existential loneliness, why teens feel isolated, and how small actions—like volunteering or engaging in their community—can help them feel valued and grounded.
🔹 Why traditional reassurance ("You have time to figure it out!") often backfires
🔹 The four categories of existential loneliness and how they impact your daughter
🔹 How volunteering provides immediate & social purpose to help feel less alone
🔹 Practical ways to support your teen without overwhelming her with "solutions"
By shifting the focus from "figuring out the future" to "finding meaning in the present," we can help our daughters navigate adolescence with more confidence and resilience
