What I am conscious of raising a woman in 2026 | Episode 70| The Pooch Podcast

What does it actually mean to raise a daughter in 2026? In this episode of The Pooch Podcast, I’m sharing my honest thoughts as a mum raising a girl in a world that feels louder, faster, and more demanding than ever. From social media pressure and beauty standards to confidence, identity, and emotional resilience, this is a real conversation about the kind of environment our daughters are growing up in and the kind of women we hope they become. I talk about the values I’m focusing on, the pressures I’m actively pushing back against, and the lessons I’m trying to teach my daughter that go beyond being “a good girl.” This is about raising strong, self-aware, emotionally secure girls without losing ourselves in the process. Because raising a daughter today isn’t just about her… it’s about us too. The example we set. The boundaries we hold. The way we choose self care, drop the ball, and show up as whole humans. If you’ve ever wondered how to raise a confident daughter, how to navigate mum guilt while parenting, or how to protect your child’s identity in a social media driven world, this episode is for you.
