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!
Raising Confident Girls with Melissa Jones
A Pep Talk for When the Holidays Didn’t Go How You Hoped
Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday! In this episode, Melissa Jones offers a reassuring, pressure-releasing message for parents navigating the emotional highs and lows of the holiday season. When expectations are high and routines are off, it’s easy to feel like things should look a certain way—this pep talk is a reminder that real life (and real families) are beautifully imperfect.
Melissa speaks candidly about why holiday moments don’t always go as planned and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. She normalizes emotional outbursts—especially in girls—explaining that they often happen when daughters feel safest. With warmth and clarity, she introduces the idea of “resetting the day” as a simple, powerful tool parents can use to move forward after tough moments, without guilt or shame.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why perfection isn’t the goal—especially during family gatherings
- How your daughters’s big emotions can be a sign of safety and connection
- A practical explanation of what it means to “reset the day”
- Encouragement to meet emotional moments with presence instead of pressure
- A gentle reminder that patience and connection matter more than getting it right
This episode is an invitation to release unrealistic expectations and give yourself grace—especially during the holidays. Parenting isn’t about flawless moments; it’s about showing up again and again with love, even when things feel messy.
If this message resonates, consider sharing it with another parent who could use a little encouragement today. You’re not alone—and sometimes, a simple reset can change everything.
