What Is Your Daughter Really Learning From You?

What if your daughter’s biggest obstacle is the message she gets from you?Kate Mason welcomes back Dr. Jo-Ann Finkelstein—clinical psychologist and author of Sexism and Sensibility—for a rich and thought-provoking conversation about how subtle gender biases shape our daughters’ self-worth, voice, and potential. They dig into the unconscious ways parents reinforce appearance-based validation, the lifelong impact of being interrupted, and how sports, education, and even praise style shape a girl’s sense of entitlement and ambition. They challenge us to unlearn generational scripts and replace them with empowering tools that foster resilience, confidence, and equality in our girls.Listen For05:40 The Mirror Moment: When Your Daughter Reflects Your Insecurities09:29 Body Image and Beauty Culture – They're Watching Us15:55 The 5 Voices Every Girl Needs18:02 Girls Deserve Less?
