Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones offers a grounding reminder for parents who worry they’re not doing enough—especially when their daughters are struggling quietly. She explores how showing up with calm, steady presence can be more powerful than fixing, advising, or saying the “perfect” thing.

Melissa speaks directly to the inner critic so many girls carry and reassures parents that this voice isn’t a reflection of failure. Instead, it’s an opportunity—one where patience, understanding, and simply being there can shape how a daughter learns to speak to herself.

Tune in to discover:

• Why your daughter’s inner critic doesn’t mean you’re falling short
• How your presence—more than your words—helps her feel safe and supported
• The role your calm plays in helping her regulate big emotions
• Why you don’t need to be perfect to make a lasting, meaningful impact

This episode is a gentle exhale for parents who feel unseen in the day-to-day work of raising girls. Even on the quiet, invisible days, you are shaping her inner voice in ways that truly matter.

If this message feels like something a parent in your life needs to hear, share this episode with them. Sometimes the most powerful support is simply reminding someone: you’re already doing enough.
