Dear Sunny

Fostering Self-Worth, Building Confidence and Empowering the Next Generation with the Founders of Girls Mentorship

Tessa Kahoun Season 1 Episode 8

This week Tessa is joined by the founders of Girls Mentorship, Jill and Mary. Back in August of 2020, Jill and Mary had a moment of reflection wondering “what would our younger selves have achieved if they had the personal growth tools we have now?” Everywhere they looked, they saw young girls grappling with confidence issues, battling negative self-talk, wrestling with poor self-image, and navigating the tricky waters of anxiety and depression. It struck a chord. It was a realization that even with the passage of time, many things remained unchanged. Girls were still missing the vital skills to rise above these challenges. That pivotal moment led to a decision: they wanted to be the beacon of change and they made it happen through founding Girls Mentorship. With a mission to enrich young girls with the social-emotional learning skills, guiding them towards realizing the brightest, most confident versions of themselves, Jill and Mary strive to bring out the best in others and themselves, and to make a lasting positive impact in the world through their actions and values.


Tessa, Jill and Mary discuss:

  • The challenges and influences faced by young girls today
  • The impact of social media on young, developing brains
  • The importance of open communication with trusted adults
  • The power in learning to take personal responsibility
  • Creating lasting impact and things adults can do in daily interactions with children to make a difference
  • Why it’s important for parents to understand and address their children's feelings, particularly during the vulnerable stages of adolescence
  • And more
