These social parameters placed on us, even the most subliminal ones, have created behaviors and ways of thinking for women that has chameleon-ed us into alternate forms of ourselves unable to fully express our true authenticity because it goes against everything we have been taught as a young child and is a method of emotional and physical self preservation. This has led to many women, especially women entrepreneurs and leaders, to question themselves, to shut down theirintuition and inner voice and feel lost, misunderstood and out of place in the world.

When Megan was 17 years old she took her little sister Mary Margaret shopping for her first Bra. They  scoured the mall to find a product that she was excited about, but ended up being completely appalled at all of the bra options that were not only available for her little sister, but also marketed to her and girls her age. Padding, push-up features and underwire galore… Megan could not believe that these were the bras that girls were supposed to wear! She  saw something wrong with that entire experience. In fact, it was a day that she could not stop thinking about. Why wasn’t there just a cute, colorful and comfortable bra for Mary Margaret to fit her and her body, not the body that she was “supposed” to have?  The answer was that there simply wasn’t one. That is when Megan realized that if no one else was going to make bras specifically for girls, then she was going to find a way to do it herself. Armed with her own hand-drawn pattern on her dad’s yellow legal pad and the small savings she had earned from her summer job bussing tables, she moved forward with this idea. As a junior in high school in 2014, Megan founded , Yellowberry,  to change the bra industry for girls."  In 2014, Megan was selected as one of TIME Magazine’s 25 Most Influential Teens and included on Huffington Post’s list of 14 Most Fearless Teens. In 2015, Megan was named one of the 24 Millennials to Watch by Yahoo. In 2016 Megan was named one of Forbes Magazines 30 under 30.  She has been featured in countless media outlets including The TODAY Show, The New York Times, Fast Company, Inc. Magazine, Forbes Magazine, Seventeen and Teen Vogue among others. r         00:33:00Raising a Powerful Girlnoempowerment,teens,tweens,motherhood,parentingPadding, push-up features and underwire galore… Megan could not believe that these were the bras that girls were supposed to wear!

At age 22, with a degree in Politics and History from the University of Keele under her belt, she moved to London where she became one of the youngest Parliamentary Advisers in Westminster. Now a mother to three kids, a boy and two girls, Beach stopped paid work when she had her son in 2003, choosing to stay home and raise her family. Throughout the early years of her children’s lives, Beach remained active in the community, writing newsletters for the local NCT (National Childbirth Trust), helping out on the PTA when the kids were in pre-school and elementary, and running a Girl Scout troop. To this day she serves on the board of directors for her local children's theater. She also worked as a pre-school teacher for three years. By early 2017, as her two daughters were growing up, Beach was becoming increasingly alarmed about the impact society was having on them and their hopes and dreams for the future. Against the backdrop of a changing America, she decided to create a new publication aimed at empowering and inspiring tween and teen girls.  After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the first issue of STRONG was published in September 2017. STRONG focuses on presenting strong female role models, as well as teaching girls practical skills to encourage independence. It also focuses on responsibility, encouraging girls to take responsibility for their own bodies and minds, and tolerance, with regular articles focusing on girls from other countries and cultures.   STRONG encourages girls to be confident to be themselves, and to be the best version of themselves.   00:31:00Raising a Powerful Girlnoempowerment,teens,tweens,motherhood,parentingSTRONG focuses on presenting strong female role models, as well as teaching girls practical skills to encourage independence.

Her education includes a BA Finance and Masters of Human Resources and Leadership Development from Michigan State University. Ms. West spent 15 years as a finance executive at General Electric Co.,where she was actively involved in the GE Women’s Network as a mentor. Four years ago, she founded LiveGirl to “pay it forward” and prepare the next generation of female leaders.  Research shows that girls are twice as depressed, anxious and stressed out as boys. 7 out of 10 girls feel that they are not enough or don’t measure up in some way, no matter how many achievements they rack up. In the so-called age of girl power, girls are still trying to fit a perfect mold of pleasing others and looking sexy. They are striving for unattainable perfection and avoiding risks.  LiveGirl has shown sheri how vulnerable today’s girls are as they face adolescent pressures magnified by social media and role overload. LiveGirl’s mission is to empower girls through year-round leadership development and mentorship. Their programs build social emotional intelligence and self-esteem which equip girls to have a positive impact on the world. Specifically, they focus on surrounding their girls with a positive community. They teach girls how to cultivate healthy and positive relationships. They teach them NOT to compare themselves to others, but rather to embrace their quirky, original selves. Live Girl also surrounds girls with positive role models. Their professional mentors  lead our 10-week after school mentoring groups + they feature accomplished female professionals at all of our leadership summits and summer camp.

Music therapy activities led by a board-certified music therapist provide children with opportunities to practice non-music-related skills in all developmental areas, including cognitive, motor, communication and language, social, behavioral, psychosocial, and emotional areas - regardless of musical skill or experience. Research-based music interventions are designed and implemented by music therapists to target individualized goals while simultaneously providing opportunities to practice leadership skills, foster independence, improve relationships, and allowing for freedom of expression in individual and group settings. Music is relatable, in some way, to all people regardless of age or ability and is a part of every culture; therefore, engaging in music therapy through singing, moving, listening, and/or playing instruments is an accessible and adaptable medium through which girls can become empowered.  My Guest today is Eric Ervast. Eric  is a board certified music therapist and he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in music therapy from Florida State University. He completed his internship at University of Kentucky HealthCare and has a background in primarily medical and pediatric music therapy with a variety of additional clinical experience.

Since then, her line has exploded with extensive press coverage, and exposure in high end stores worldwide, quickly  growing from just belts into a lifestyle brand including handbags, jewelry and homegoods made with Hadley’s copyrighted textile designs. Her inspiration for not only her business, but also her business's purpose was discovered after 9/11. Hadley felt propelled to channel the chaos going on politically, economically, and socially into something positive and uplifting. After several years of working in marketing and public relations for textile and fashion companies, in January 2002 Hadley Pollet launched her own line belts made with copyrighted textiles that conveyed hope and happiness.   Hadley and her signature designs inspire women to radiate the power of kindness despite the ongoing negativity in our world. She prides herself for creating a brand that represents self expression, empowerment, and confidence by igniting an emotional desire for women to feel spiritually uplifted when dressing. Her brand is known to deliver women the ability to express themselves wholeheartedly, whether someone is a hippie, downright preppy or both. Her hope is that every day, women wake up and dress as the best form of their spiritual selves, expressing themselves brightly. Hadley Pollet is dedicated to aiding and inspiring young women to be future leaders of the world.   00:39:00Raising a Powerful Girlnoempowerment,teens,tweens,motherhood,parentingInspiration and empowerment comes in many different forms and choosing how to express that can begin with allowing your daughter to choose what she wears as a faab5573d-9dd0-4120-a144-caa65b2660c9http://www.blogtalkradio.com/raisingapowerfulgirl/2018/02/14/the-true-meaning-behind-leadership-and-girlsWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/raisingapowerfulgirl/2018/02/14/the-true-meaning-behind-leadership-and-girls/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/raisingapowerfulgirl/2018/02/14/the-true-meaning-behind-leadership-and-girlsWed, 14 Feb 2018 05:00:00 GMTThe True Meaning Behind Leadership and GirlsHere is the scary reality. Most girls do not want to be leaders. RESEARCH INDICATES MOST GIRLS DEFINE LEADERSHIP AND BRAVERY AS SOMETHING ‘HEROIC.’ IN FACT, ONLY 1/3 OF MIDDLE-SCHOOL GIRLS TODAY BELIEVE THEY CAN BE A LEADER.THE NUMBERS GO DOWN AS THEY GET OLDER.   UNFORTUNATELY, THE DATA PROVES GIRLS HAVE AN UPHILL BATTLE. RESEARCH PROVES: -Girls pride themselves on perfectionism and, therefore, avoid taking risks that could help them grow.  -They hate conflict, so they do not end up practicing self-advocacy or communicating during difficult conversations.  -To avoid being labeled "bossy" they turn away from leadership roles. ON TOP OF THESE INTERNAL ROADBLOCKS, GIRLS FEEL SOCIETY'S TRIPLE BIND: -Be confident, but not conceited -Be smart, but no one likes a know-it-all -Ambition is good, but trying too hard is bad -Be assertive, but only if it does not upset anyone else.
