Welcome back to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones explores one simple question many girls ask: "Can you ask for me?"

Whether it's ordering food, asking to join a group, or speaking up in a new situation, our instinct as parents is often to step in and help. But Melissa shares why these everyday moments can become powerful opportunities to build courage, confidence, and self-advocacy.

In this episode, we explore:

• The difference between solving the problem and supporting your daughter through it
• Why courage comes before confidence
• Simple ways to help your daughter use her own voice while knowing you're beside her
• Why celebrating bravery matters just as much as celebrating success
• One question to ask before stepping in: Does she need my voice or my support?

Join Melissa for an encouraging conversation about helping your daughter discover she can do hard things—one brave step at a time.
