🩷 NEW BLOG: Big Feelings, Courageous Hearts 💬💔 When the world feels heavy, our girls feel it too — even if they don’t always have the words to say it. From grief to anxiety to life’s big changes, helping your daughter navigate emotional storms takes connection over perfection. In our latest blog, we’re sharing ways to support your daughter through tough emotions — using tools like naming feelings, creating safe spaces, and modeling real-life courage (the kind Dr. Brené Brown talks about). 💪🌧️➡️☀️ Because courage isn’t about pretending everything’s okay — it’s about telling the truth, setting boundaries, and reaching out for support. (Even if you’re the one who needs it too.) 💻 Read it now at the link in bio! 🌈 For moms, daughters, and anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by all the feels. #BigFeelings #CourageousHearts #PinkChaos #AustinTherapyForGirls #GriefSupport #TweenAnxiety #MotherDaughterConnection #BreneBrown #NameItToTameIt #TherapyToolsForGirls

🧠✨ Big Feelings, Courageous Heart — Free Webinar for Parents 💬 In light of the recent tragedy, many of us are holding space for our daughters’ big emotions—grief, anxiety, confusion, and everything in between. Join us for a free webinar designed to help parents support their girls with courage, connection, and compassion. 💖 We’ll share tools from our Courage Camp program and Pink Chaos book, including age-appropriate scripts, regulation tools, and ways to build emotional resilience during hard times. 📅 Wednesday July 9th at noon CST 🔗 Register at the link @jennabhager said on the Today Show this morning, “Texas is resilience.” We see that in every girl, every parent, every community showing up with love in the chaos. 💗 #CourageCamp #AustinTherapyForGirls #GriefSupport #ParentingGirls #TweenMentalHealth #PinkChaos #BigFeelingsCourageousHeart #TexasStrong #campmystic #camplonghorn #jennabushhager
Many girls (and parents) are feeling a swirl of emotions—sadness, confusion, fear, even guilt. Sometimes the first step in healing is simply being able to name what you’re feeling. We created this free “How Do You Feel?” poster to help open up those conversations, especially when words are hard to find. 🖼️ Download it now and hang it on the fridge, a bedroom door, or bring it to the dinner table. Let it be a gentle start. [Link in bio] #GriefSupport #CampCommunity #AustinTherapyForGirls #MentalHealthForTweens #FeelingsMatter #girlstherapy
