REALITY CHECK FOR MOMS OF GIRLS 7-12

THE UNCOMFORTABLE
TRUTH

Around age eight, something quiet and disorienting begins to happen. The fearless, loud, cartwheeling little girl who once owned every room starts shrinking her voice, double-checking her answers, and worrying about what everyone else thinks.

01 : THE PERFECTION PARALYSIS

She would rather quit before starting than risk falling short in front of her peers. A single misstep feels like a personal flaw instead of a simple step toward mastery.

02 : THE COMPARISON LABYRINTH

Even without a phone in her hand, the invisible scorecard is running. Who is prettier, who is cooler, who fits in effortlessly, and where does she stand when the group shifts?

03 : THE EMOTIONAL SHUTDOWN

When big emotions crest, closed doors and tearful shrugs replace conversation. Without emotional stamina and real grit tools, feeling overwhelmed turns into giving up completely.

She doesn't need to be protected from every hard day. She needs the inner strength, courage, and grit to rise through them.

Jennifer, Founder

10+ years in the classroom. Mom of 3 girls.

I’m a mom of three girls and spent 10+ years teaching K-12 in public schools. Master’s in Education.

Four California teaching credentials: science, general science, health science and elementary education.

Before this, I built a jewelry company that was worn on the Oscars red carpet and featured in Forbes, BuzzFeed and Country Living.

Now I’m building Raising Girls With Grit: a community, workbooks, content and books to help moms raise girls who can handle real life.

Fair warning: sometimes the answer is that we’re the problem.
