The Quest for the Perfect Breasts

It’s October and time again for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am all for finding a cure for breast cancer and any kind of cancer for that matter, but what I am not all for is focusing on the disease itself. The Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus your attention upon is returned to you multiplied. So if that is true, why on Earth would we want to set aside a whole month placing all of our focus on the disease of breast cancer? (But no, if you focus on that picture above, you will not grow bigger boobs – that’s not how the Law of Attraction works!!) So I’m proposing “Love Your Boobs Month!” As a matter of fact, another teen empowerment specialist, Jess Weiner just wrote a fabulous article this month in Seventeen Magazine about Making Peace with Your Boobs! (Great minds think alike apparently!!) [...]

Teen Girls: Making the List

Last week at New Jersey’s top-ranked Milburn High School, senior “it” girls circulated their annual “Slut List” of incoming freshman girls. A dozen or more names are written on a piece of notebook paper along with vulgar descriptions and are copied and circulated around the school. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy One might assume that this is just another awful example of girl bullying, but in this case, you’d be wrong. According to William Miron, the principal of Milburn High, this has been going on for a decade and said “We’ve had girls obsessed that their names are on it, and girls who were upset that they didn’t make the list.” That’s right, some girls actually are disappointed if they don’t make the list! Is this really what girl power is all about? Seriously? As a Confidence Coach, I help girls learn [...]

One Giant Leap for Womankind

Moonwalk Long before Michael Jackson slid backwards across the stage, as a matter of fact, 40 years ago today man walked on the moon. July 20, 1969: Do you remember where you were that day? For my teen readers, you weren’t even born yet! I’ll never forget that day, but not because it was a day in history, but rather a day in herstory! One small step for a woman... I got my first period the day the astronauts walked on the moon! While the nation sat transfixed to their television sets, I was locked in my bathroom, afraid to come out and trying to figure out how to strap on the paraphernalia that my mother kept hidden in the linen closet! Note to moms: Don’t wait to have “the talk!” It’s scary enough to grow up female in this world and it’s important to know the facts of [...]

Heal Our Young Women ~ Heal the World

While millions of Americans journied to our nation’s capital to be a part of history in the making, while workers watched the inauguration online through CNN & Facebook, while people from around the world observed the 44th President of the United States of America take his oath of office and pledge his allegiance and service to our great nation, many girls across the country still were unable to shift their focus away from their own inner battles to embrace the power of this day. In the middle of watching the streaming video from CNN in partnership with Facebook, I received not one, but five emails from teen girls who were all asking me advice on how to be thin, how to be more confident, how to get a guy to like them, how to stop being so shy and quiet – and basically how to be anyone else but who [...]

Getting a Boyfriend – Even if You’re Shy

This video is a response to an email I received from a young woman named Jennifer. Jennifer is 21 and feels like there is something wrong with her because she’s never had a boyfriend. Her self-esteem and self-confidence is at an all time low and she’s afraid it’s her fault because she’s shy. She ask, “How can I be OK with who I am and not care what other people think about me?” In this video, I help Jennifer understand that her beliefs are creating her reality. A belief is just a thought that we’ve played over and over again in our minds and accepted it as our truth. What you think about you attract. And if you think that it’s not OK to be quiet and shy and that there is something wrong with you, then you’ll only attract more situations that make you feel inferior for being who [...]

Dove Self-Esteem Fund – Saying “YES” to What You Want

Last year I wrote a monthly column for a rural high school magazine called “Ambition”. The editor said it was a start-up and didn’t have any money yet to pay her writers but was hoping that would change soon. Well, I wrote the articles last year and it was a good discipline to write regularly and with a topic and focus… however, as far as exposure goes, I never even got one email response and no business referrals. So this year the editor contacted me again and gave me the deadline for the fall submission and I asked her about getting paid. She said she was still not making a profit and couldn’t pay her writers. Hmmmm… I thought about it and prayed about it and then asked God to give me a clear sign as to what I should do. A couple of days later, I was feeling a [...]
