What happens when you realize self-worth shouldn't be tied to achievements? Join us on Speak Out Stand Out as we welcome Nellie Harden, a mother of four and a passionate advocate for young women’s empowerment. Nellie shares her inspiring journey from struggling with self-esteem to becoming a beacon of strength for her daughters. Her story includes confronting a significant family health scare, which reinforced the vital importance of nurturing intrinsic self-value in children, preparing them for a world that often measures worth through accolades.

Discover transformative strategies for building resilient children through authentic communication. Nellie and we discuss the power of regular, meaningful interactions—think FaceTime chats—that encourage kids to feel truly seen and heard. We delve into the importance of recognizing individual learning styles, evidenced by Nellie's personal anecdotes of adapting to her daughter's needs. Uncover how these approaches equip children to navigate diverse communication styles they will encounter in their educational and professional journeys.

Our conversation takes a deeper dive into enhancing parent-daughter relationships with Nellie's empowering programs, "Decoding Daughters" and "Lead the Way." These resources offer parents guidance in raising daughters who are confident and self-reliant. Nellie emphasizes the significance of love and leadership in helping daughters learn to guide themselves before stepping into the world on their own. As we wrap up, we invite you to explore Nellie's insightful weekly articles and resources, readily available through the links in our show notes.
