About this episode

Ann Muno provides expert guidance on how adults can effectively communicate with girls who are reluctant to engage in conversation.

🖇️💌 Does the question “How was your day?” elicit a one-word reply? Do you find it difficult to connect with a girl you care about? For expert guidance we turn to Ann Muno, a girls’ rights advocate and acclaimed author of Powerful Girls: Raising Strong, Just and Compassionate Young Women. In this easy-to-digest episode, she shares how adults can build trust, model vulnerability, and ask questions that invite dialogue with the girls and young women in their lives.
