Ep. 3 - Shattering Myths About Teenage Girls with Chelsey Goodan

Author: Local Moms Network September 10, 2024 Duration: 38:42
When was the last time you described a teenage girl as wise, powerful, curious, and kind? It’s not the norm-but it should! That’s the mission of Chelsey Goodan, author of the groundbreaking new book UNDERESTIMATED: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls. Chelsey shatters the image of the “dramatic” and “hormonal” teenage girl and corrects the course so parents, teachers, and society see them for their potential instead of their flaws. Chelsey draws on her decades of work with teenage girls, both as a sought-after tutor and mentor, to discuss what empowerment really looks like. Listen to Chelsey Goodan in this far-reaching conversation with host Demetra Ganias to both debunk the myths of teenage girls and learn tangible steps to, quite literally, rewrite the conversation with our daughters. Chelsey offers effective strategies to: *stop fixing a teen’s problems and give her space to solve her own dilemma, leading her to self trust *minimize criticism and judgment to avoid having girls become distant and putting up walls *allow girls to feel all emotions and grow from negative experiences *teach mothers how to stop the cycle of projecting our own stories onto our daughters Find us at thelocalmomsnetwork.com Follow us on IG @thelocalmomsnetwork Send us your ideas for our next podcast!

Hosted by Demetra Ganias-a writer and mother of three who’s navigating the same daily realities-MomCast is a conversation from the trenches of modern parenting. This podcast, from the Local Moms Network, moves beyond simple tips to explore the nuanced, often unspoken layers of family life, culture, and society that shape our days. Demetra guides honest talks with both leading experts and fellow moms who get it, tackling questions about child development, personal identity, and the balancing act that rarely feels balanced. The dialogue here is less about perfect answers and more about shared understanding, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re in the car line or stealing a quiet moment. It’s a space where the complexities of raising kids intersect with everything else, acknowledging that motherhood is as much about the world we’re preparing our children for as it is about the snack currently ground into the car seat. Tune in for a genuine, sometimes messy, but always connecting look at this defining chapter. You’ll find a sense of community in this podcast, a feeling that someone is putting words to your own experience, making the journey feel a little less solitary and a lot more seen.
