The Bright Side iHeartPodcasts

When author Chelsey Goodan started tutoring girls, she realized that what they needed most was for someone to listen to them.

It's a practical guide for those looking to help empower girls and change the narrative of perfection that so many girls have internalized.  Plus, in honor of Mother’s Day, Danielle and Simone’s moms stop by The Bright Side studios to drop some motherly wisdom.
