It’s so hard
to be a girl today.
AS A MOM, YOU NEED A GUIDE YOU CAN TRUST
Courageous Girls redefines how we walk and talk with our daughters.
Our daughters don’t face the same challenges we faced.
Friends, social media, culture–confusing voices clamor for their attention.
More girls suffer from anxiety, depression insecurity, and unhealthy coping more than ever before, as they struggle to understand who they are and where they belong.
As a mom, you can feel lost and alone not knowing how to guide your daughter from childhood through adolescence.
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO
BE THIS WAY.
A Courageous Girls group gives your daughter the confidence she needs as she grows in God’s grace.
A Courageous Girls group gives you the confidence to be the loving guide your daughter needs.
Imagine a girl who knows she is loved — and loves others well.
Confident in her gifts.
Secure in who God made her to be.
Resilient through trials.
She uses her voice for others and trusts God’s good ways for her.
Now imagine that girl is you. Imagine that girl is your daughter.
Mom, you are her primary model for what it means to be female
—how to relate to God, to herself, and to others.
A Courageous Girls group is a place where you and your daughter:
Establish a trusted and deep connection with God and each other.
Grow confidence in your identity in what God says about you.
Discover your unique contributions and how God equips you for that purpose.
Build safe relationships and learn to set boundaries with unhealthy ones.
Experience how God’s truth and grace that clarifies all of today’s confusing messages.
Practice clinically proven tools for a healthy mind, body, heart, soul and relationships.
Develop resiliency to move through hard things like communication and conflict.

Through Courageous Girls, my daughter and I have formed deep, lasting friendships. Watching our girls dive into God’s Word together and grow in confidence as young leaders has been incredible. I am forever grateful for this life-giving community.
— Katie, CG Leader
Being a part of Courageous Girls has been one of the single most influential impacts on our family. Much more than a mom-daughter group, the lessons and community have provided a safe environment for my girls and me to grow in every way; spiritually, emotionally, mentally and relationally. We have been able to take our individual pains and learn how to grow and heal, based on God’s design and love for us. All the while, we have grown closer relationships with each other and in community with other moms and daughters. CG is a slow and steady drip that has been worth every single connection.
— Beth, CG Mom
