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!

Pep Talk: When “How Was Your Day?” Gets You “Fine” — Try This Instead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday, an episode of Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones talks about one tiny word that can leave moms wondering what’s really going on: “Fine.” When your daughter gives you a short answer about her day, it can be tempting to ask more questions, fill in the gaps, or worry that something is wrong. Melissa offers a gentle reminder that sometimes fine really does mean fine—and that connection isn’t built by getting your daughter to tell you everything.
Tune in to discover:
- Why “fine” doesn’t always mean your daughter is hiding something
- How asking smaller, more specific questions can create easier openings for conversation
- Why sharing something from your own day can invite connection without turning it into a strategy
- The importance of giving your daughter space when she isn’t ready to talk
- Why you shouldn’t measure your relationship by one quiet car ride or one short conversation
- How ordinary, everyday moments can build trust and connection over time
This episode is a reminder that you don’t need the perfect question or a daughter who tells you everything. Keep showing interest, keep listening when she opens the door, and let her know that when she has something to share, you’re there. Sometimes connection sounds like a long conversation—and sometimes it sounds like, “How was your day?” “Fine.” And that can be perfectly fine.
