What if…
…your daughter starts/continues to love and accept herself and her body now, and avoids decades of potentially comparing herself to others and trying to find her value and worth outside of herself?
… your daughter could begin to learn what true mental and physical health look like right now, instead of confusing them with trying to look a certain way, having certain things, or pleasing everyone around her?
…she could learn to stop putting so much pressure on herself to be perfect, start setting healthy boundaries, and practice healthy communication in relationships right now?
Here's the problem:
Our society is so hard on girls. Everywhere they turn they see unachievable body goals, and they are taught their value and worth is based on how they look, how they act, and keeping others happy/comfortable.
There is so much pressure on girls to be small both mentally and physically, and this is what contributes to so many confidence issues in adult women today - including basing their happiness on external factors such as their partners, looks, and material things, but also not daring to ask for a raise at work or apply for jobs they're qualified for.
It shouldn't take us until our 30s and 40s to start learning to put ourselves first and take care of ourselves. We need to start teaching these things MUCH EARLIER!
But it doesn't have to be this way...
Hi, I'm Katy
I founded The Working Mom Happiness Method! I know exactly how it feels to be an overwhelmed, exhausted, and guilty mom who wants to do well in all areas of her life, not just work.
I worked my way up in a large, financial corporation from doing customer service during college to being a Vice President making well into the 6 figures (more money than I ever dreamed)… this allowed my family to have our dream home, go on dream vacations, and have all the things we wanted, but everyday still felt like a struggle!
I constantly felt guilty about missing so much time with kids. I was always stressed and tired. I put work before everything and everyone else in my life. I nearly lost my marriage, I hated my body, and I was hyper-focused on trying to lose weight...
Until I FINALLY decided to make a serious change and learn to value myself enough to start putting ME first. Through that journey I learned the most amazing tools to completely turn things around and create the life of my dreams. As I started sharing these tools with close friends and their lives began to change as well, I realized I wanted to help SO many more women create the lives of their dreams too!
As I started to share my journey and the tools that helped me with other moms, many of them had daughters and asked me to create a program to start teaching these tools to girls at younger ages, and that's how we got here with this program for girls!
Hi, I'm Meghan
I have degrees in psychology, education and recently completed my master's in school counseling from Utah State University. I have worked as a teacher for most of the past 13 years, primarily in early childhood grades. I have middle school-aged children myself, and was able to complete my practicum counseling experience in a 5th through 8th grade middle school. What an incredible phase of life, and with the potential for major values, beliefs and practices to develop!
I was fortunate to cross paths with Katy years ago. I participated in her Working Mom Happiness Method course and absolutely loved it! I was beyond excited when the opportunity arose to collaborate with Katy on a course for middle school girls.
Many adults recall middle school as awkward at best, downright miserable at worst. I feel strongly it doesn't need to be that way! We know so much more about childhood and adolescent development, identity formation, how to foster the development of healthy mindsets and behaviors, as well as best parental practices to support our middle school daughters. I can't wait to get started!
