Shame is one of the enemy’s most powerful tools—it twists mistakes into identity, leaving our daughters believing lies like “I’m not enough, I’ll never measure up, I’ll always be a failure.” Left unaddressed, those inner whispers can grow into heavy chains that shape how a girl views herself, others, and even God.

In this powerful conversation, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director and podcast host Patti Garibay is joined by Brittany Sawrey-Coulson, Licensed Professional Counselor and Director of Content at Trueface. With wisdom and compassion, Brittany unpacks the difference between guilt and shame, why negative self-talk begins earlier than we think, and how moms can model grace-filled authenticity that frees their daughters from shame’s grip.

Together, Patti and Brittany discuss practical ways parents can help girls replace lies with God’s truth, cultivate safe spaces for honest conversation, and anchor their worth in Christ—not in performance, appearance, or comparison. And if you’re a mom who wrestles with shame yourself, this episode offers hope for your own healing as well as guidance for breaking the generational cycle.

Shame doesn’t get the last word—Jesus does. Tune in and discover how to lead your daughter toward freedom, confidence, and a lasting identity rooted in Him.
