What if you’d learned to trust yourself sooner?

In this episode, Lia shares the 12 “rules” she wishes she’d known as a teen—foundations for confidence, autonomy, self-trust, and living a life that actually feels good. Written for girls but meant for women of all ages, this conversation is a loving reminder that you get to write your own rules, choose what brings you alive, and protect your freedom.

In this episode, we explore:

Why rules for girls are optional—and who gets to write them
How self-trust becomes the foundation of confidence
The importance of learning what brings you most alive
Real pleasure vs. false pleasure
Why you don’t need to know your life plan yet
How protecting your freedom keeps your options open

This episode is especially powerful for mothers, mentors, and anyone guiding a young woman—because girls don’t learn from what we say, they learn from what we model.
