  • Bossy vs. Leader: Empowering Your Daughter to Lead with Confidence
    Aug 13 2024

    Welcome back to another week of the Raising Confident Girls podcast! This week, we dive into a crucial topic: teaching our girls to lead with confidence. As parents or guardians, we often notice the perceived differences in how girls and boys are viewed in leadership roles. Girls who take on prominent leadership positions can sometimes be labeled as “bossy.” In this episode, we explore ways to turn this into a positive and help our girls excel in positions of power.

    Tune in as we discuss:

    • Why leadership and being labeled as bossy, can be challenging for our girls.
    • Strategies to help our girls lead effectively.
    • The benefits of being a strong and capable leader as girls.


    Teaching our girls to be strong, fierce, and capable leaders goes hand in hand with fostering compassion, empathy, and kindness. Join us as we explore how to equip our girls with the skills and tools to embody all these traits as they navigate different situations and take on leadership roles throughout their lives!
