Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday! In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones dives into something so many parents quietly worry about: How do I really support my daughter when I’m not even sure what she’s feeling? Melissa reminds us that being a steady, safe presence matters far more than having the perfect words or a flawless plan.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why you don’t need to know exactly what’s going on to still show up as a safe, grounded parent
• How a quiet daughter isn’t necessarily shutting you out—and what she may actually be needing
• Why our girls often want connection, not solutions
• How being truly present can soothe big emotions more than any advice ever could
• Why it’s okay if your daughter doesn’t open up right away (and how giving her time builds trust)

This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to fix everything—you just have to be there. Your warm, steady presence creates the space your daughter needs to process her feelings, move through tough moments, and feel deeply supported.

If you know a parent who might need this encouragement today, share the episode with them. We’re all growing, learning, and showing up the best we can—and together, we can raise daughters who feel safe, seen, and understood.
