What Selfies Can Teach Moms

Moms, do you shiver when your daughters constantly take selflies.

Do they mock you when you take one of yourself?

Been there, done that!

This video from DOVE might change the way you view your daughter’s obsession with selflies. Or it may not. You decide.

It’s worth a peek. If anything, it may make you think about how your body image and expectations for beauty might influence hers.

Empowering high-achievers to transcend perfectionism and lead with confidence, ease, and joy | Order my book! ๐Ÿ’Ž The Perfectionistโ€™s Dilemma

Perfectionism is often mistaken for ambition, disc Perfectionism is often mistaken for ambition, discipline, or high standards. Yet beneath the surface, it can fuel anxiety, burnout, and chronic self-doubt.

When we delay conversations about perfectionism, we miss opportunities for early awareness, support, and self-compassion. Naming these patterns is often the first step toward meaningful change.

In my latest Substack article, I explore why these conversations matter and how they can open the door to healing and growth.
