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!
