What if we could mother our daughters in the way many of us never experienced?

In this first episode of the Courageous Girls Podcast, we (Terra Mattson and the Courageous Girls community) invite you into the heart of why this movement began. As women, mothers, and mentors, we’ve seen firsthand the pressure, confusion, and pain girls are navigating in today’s world—and we know we’re not alone in wanting to do something about it.

Together, we explore the roots of Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace, a book written to help women uncover the beliefs, emotions, and experiences that shape us—and how those, in turn, impact the way we guide the next generation. We share the heavy realities girls are facing, from early exposure to sexuality and social media pressures, to the silence that often surrounds their struggles.

Through clinical insight, biblical wisdom, and real-life stories, we ask: how can we become safe, attuned, grace-filled women for the girls in our lives? This episode is a call to reflect, connect, and take courageous steps forward—starting with our own healing.

💬 Key topics we unpack:

-Why we started Courageous Girls

-The real stories girls are living today—and how we respond

-The impact of purity culture and modern overcorrection

-Why moms matter more than we often realize

-What it looks like to lead from a place of grace, not perfection
