Take a moment to grasp this. It’s a lot. 💚💚💚 but the truth.

Yes yes and yes. I think what has been the most disappointing is that the mean girls are usually being raised by mean moms. Being a kid in today’s world is so much harder on so many levels. I was bullied starting in the 6th grade, I have zero tolerance for mean kids. 💚💚

Middle school girls this day and age?

It’s a different kind of hard.

The cliques.
The whispering.
The group chats.
The screenshots.
The fake smiles in the hallway.

Friend one minute. Frozen out the next.

And the scary part?
It doesn’t stop when the bell rings.

It follows them home.
Onto their phones.
Into their bedrooms.
Into their minds.

Mean girls used to pass notes.
Now they pass screenshots.

They don’t just exclude, they broadcast it.

And the pressure to “fit in” feels heavier than it ever has.
The clothes. The followers. The filters. The friend groups.

But here’s what I refuse to do
I refuse to blame an entire generation of girls.

Because they didn’t invent this world.
They’re trying to survive it.

Middle school has always been messy.
It’s just louder now.

And maybe instead of saying “these girls are toxic,”
we start teaching our daughters:

You don’t have to beg to belong.
Real friends don’t make you feel small.
Popular isn’t the same as kind.
And being excluded says more about them than it does about you.

Because one day those mean girls won’t matter.

But how our daughters learn to value themselves through it?
That will.

This is so interesting to me. I often get stuck in analysis paralysis. Now I know why. Anyone else ???

Starting really is the hardest part, and there’s a good brain-based reason for that. 🧠

Task initiation asks your brain to spend extra energy upfront, especially when a task feels unclear, boring, or emotionally loaded. That resistance you feel is your brain protecting its resources.

One way to work with this is to lower the bar to starting, not finishing.

Add music. Write down one tiny step. Set a short timer. Give your brain a clear on-ramp and an endpoint.

Once you’re in motion, things often feel easier because your brain has already done the hardest part.

You’ve got this. Progress counts. Little by little! ❤️
