Raising Confident Girls with Melissa Jones
Growing up Melissa was no stranger to the self doubt that so many girls feel everyday! She felt invisible and lacking a safe space to confidently be herself. This feeling took her to hard places that she hopes no girl ever has to reach. However, this journey helped her find her purpose…teaching!
Through 23 years of teaching, Melissa took her experiences and her passion for girls and launched The Girls Positivity Club!
Once a small group of girls from her class, The Girls Positivity Club is now a global movement partnering with parents and their daughters to embrace who they are and learn how to stay positive amidst life's biggest challenges.
Join Melissa every Tuesday on 'Raising Confident Girls' (A Girls Positivity Club Podcast) to talk about self care, positivity, raising confident girls, and practical lessons to integrate into your everyday! The Girls Positivity Club is spreading empowerment across the globe and you’re not gonna want to miss your chance to get on board!

Welcome to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones dives into the developmental stage where girls become more self-aware—and why this shift can feel both challenging and transformative for them and their parents.
Melissa explores how increased self-awareness often shows up in everyday moments, from heightened sensitivity to social dynamics to deeper reflection about themselves and their place in the world. While this stage can sometimes look like a dip in confidence, she explains why it’s actually a critical part of healthy growth and identity development.
With this understanding, parents can respond in ways that strengthen connection and support their daughter’s evolving sense of self.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What increased self-awareness looks like in girls
- Why self-awareness doesn’t mean a loss of confidence
- Common situations where this stage shows up in daily life
- Practical ways parents can respond with support and understanding
Join Melissa for an insightful conversation on guiding girls through this important phase with empathy, perspective, and confidence-building support.
