Were we raised or reduced? | How Girls Learn to Judge Themselves | The GrownUp Girls Podcast

Описание: There’s a moment in almost every girl’s life when she becomes aware of her body — not as something that belongs to her, but as something that is constantly being watched, corrected, and judged.

In this episode of The GrownUp Girls Podcast, we talk about the childhood moments that shape how girls grow into women. The small comments we heard growing up — “lose weight,” “sit properly,” “don’t draw attention,” “talk softly” — may have sounded harmless at the time, but over the years, they quietly became the inner voice many women carry into adulthood.

This is an honest conversation about girlhood, womenhood, and body image. We unpack how childhood conditioning affects self-worth, confidence, and how women show up in the world. We also talk about what it means to unlearn these patterns and how we can raise daughters differently — with more freedom, acceptance, and emotional safety.

In this episode, we cover:
• How body image issues begin in childhood
• The everyday comments that shape how girls see themselves
• Why many women grow up feeling watched or judged
• The link between girlhood experiences and adult self-worth
• How to break cycles of body shaming and conditioning
• What it looks like to raise confident daughters today
• Why self-acceptance is not a destination, but a lifelong journey

This episode is for every woman who has struggled with how she sees her body. It’s also for parents, educators, and anyone who wants to be more mindful of the language and expectations placed on young girls.

🎙️ The Grown-Up Girls Podcast is a space for real conversations about womenhood, friendships, growth, healing, and becoming a girl’s girl in a world that often teaches women to shrink themselves.
