This week's episode is all about supporting girls when it comes to self esteem and confidence, including but not limited to their relationships with their bodies and with food. Featuring special guest, confidence & holistic wellness coach (and certified eating disorder recovery specialist) Charlotte Olson.

This week we are welcoming back a repeat guest (and my friend), Sheryl R. of the Hearts of Gold podcast. She's here to update us on Silver Award requirement and process updates nation-wide and also to talk about high awards in general.

Back with another super interview, this time with Brownie troop leader Kelly R. from Girl Scouts of Jersey Shore.

I'm thrilled to introduce you to Wendy H., an Ambassador high adventure troop leader from GS San Diego. She has taken her troop on some incredible adventures, including backpacking in the Canadian Yukon, High Sierras, and this year, Mt. Whitney. She is also a certified canoe instructor and her troop has canoed parts of the Colorado River, kayaked in an Alaskan bay and whitewater rafted down the Kern River. The crazy part? She wasn't an experienced adventurer before becoming a troop leader - she built those skills right alongside her girls, and now, she's done things she previously wouldn't have even dreamed of. We hope this interview inspires you that you, too, can design a high adventure lifestyle as a Girl Scout Volunteer.

Join us as we discuss the joys and challenges of leading girls into the wild, and how to help them discover their inner strength and courage through outdoor adventure.

Raspberry Rallies sold out online in 8 HOURS. What?! Are you mad? Frustrated? Exhausted? Ready to quit? This one's for you.

I recently read (or better said: INHALED) the book Allies and Advocates by Amber Cabral and I couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted to share this content with you. I'm sharing a recap of some of the core content of the book with you in this episode, but also FIERCELY encouraging you to read it on your own!

It can sometimes feel like STEM is being forced down our throats, but that's because it's still so important. Children's book author Aubre Andrus is our special guest today, sharing about STEM programming for girls of all ages, how to keep it fun and engaging (and not feel too much like 'school!'), and what to do when we as the volunteer leaders aren't super confident or comfortable about leading STEM activities, either.

We're back with Part 2 of the Adult Recognition, Appreciation, and Awards. This is part of the Ask Me Anything Series where you can ask me anything you would ask if you and I went to coffee and you could pick my brain about all things Girl Scouts. So a bunch of you asked me about Adult Recognition & Awards and what they are and how to get them.... so today is all about the nationally recognized "official" adult awards.

IT'S A COOKIE CRISIS. Jk, it's just another cookie season! In this episode, I'm addressing the current cookie crisis (at least in my council) and recapping some of the cookie crises we have PERSERVERED AND OVERCOME in the past. You guys, there's a cookie crisis EVERY year. It's going to be okay. You're not alone. Feel your feelings, but know that it's GOING TO BE OKAY.

This episode is part 1 of a 2(?) part series about adult appreciation, recognition, and awards. Let's make this a space where we can recognize and appreciate each other for the incredible work we are doing.
