Alive & Well – Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Productivity, Time Management, Somatic Tools, Work-Life Balance

If you're raising girls, this episode is a must-listen.

Because the world they’re growing up in? It’s not the one we were raised in.

In this powerful conversation with therapist, parenting coach, and Restoring Our Girls author Cathy Cassani Adams, we unpack what girls are really asking for—and why so many parents miss it.

Cathy brings decades of experience (and her perspective as a mom of three daughters) to shed light on how we can parent with emotional attunement, clarity, and deep connection—even through the messiness of adolescence.

You'll learn:
✨ What girls actually wish we’d stop doing (it’s not what you think)
✨ Why “well-meaning” labels like “the smart one” or “the shy one” can cause harm
✨ How to foster critical thinking, confidence, and emotional safety with your daughter

If you want your daughter to know she’s safe to be fully herself—with you and with the world—this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

🎧 Hit play for a grounded, honest look at how to parent girls with wisdom, compassion, and courage.
