There’s a saying that goes, “Boys will be boys.” But I think it's time we rephrase that. This is a tough topic, but because there are boys your age who are being taught certain beliefs and behaviors, I think it’s important that you learn about this so you can recognize it.. . .To help you, I also shared books that explore this topic in the 10 for Teens + Tweens Ep. 115 show notes on EmpowerfulGirls.com.

We just celebrated Thanksgiving in the US, and we've already discussed gratitude in episodes 003, 049, and 079--could there possibly be even more to say about gratitude? Actually, yes.

Sometimes you’ll set goals and reach them, and sometimes you won’t. So then what do you do?

But I want to tell you what happened–and listen til the end for an update.. . .To help you, I created a "When You Don't Reach a Goal" worksheet.

112. My Experience with ADHD
I’ve had multiple requests for an episode on ADHD. This topic is personal to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD 3.5 years ago, a few months after I started this podcast. I will preface this by reminding you–I am not a healthcare professional, I am not offering medical advice or a diagnosis. I still want to share my experience because I feel it’s important to talk about ADHD to spread awareness. Whether you have it too or know someone who does, understanding it better will help your relationships with others.A full transcript of this episode is available in the 10 for Teens + Tweens Ep. 112 show notes on EmpowerfulGirls.com.I also recommend revisiting these episodes:104 Procrastination87 Organization + Cleaning31 Being Too Busy (time management)

So I want to cover some essential tools that will help you navigate news media in your digital life.. . .To help you, I created a "News Media Literacy" poster.
