Raising Confident Daughters with Nellie Harden

In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Nellie Harden discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself. Nellie is a wife, mother to 4 teenage daughters, and an author and speaker in the space of Family Life & Leadership. Her work has a twofold focus. First, she is helping parents love & lead their daughters in a way that teaches them to love & lead themselves by building a strong foundation of worth, esteem & confidence in them all before they leave home!  Second, she works toward restoring, or building for the very first time, this same foundation in adult women who didn’t have this built in their formative childhood or were robbed of it from trauma in their lives. Her background is in biology and psychology, from humpbacks to humans, and she has invested decades of her life into personal, family, Christian faith, and leadership development.  Most of all, she believes the best way to change the world is through one living room at a time!
