Raising Strong Girls, Part 2 (Juliet Starrett)

Autonomy 🤸🍔✊ GMB Fitness

As a company founded by three dudes, GMB might seem like a very male centric company. But about half our team is women. The three dudes are married. Two of us have daughters, so raising strong girls and women is something we actually care about deeply.
So we got in touch with one of the coolest, most successful and badass women we know: Juliet Starrett. She’s the CEO of TheReadyState.com, an attorney, and a champion athlete. She’s also a mother of two teen girls and has managed not to tear out all her hair, so she’s got a lot to say about parenting girls in today’s world.
Key Points:

• Body Image: You don’t have to be a size 2 to wear spandex, tactics to instill body positivity
• Role Models: There are many measures of success, role models can show what is possible
• Sex, Porn, Difficult Conversations: This conversation is going to happen when you least expect it, have it early
• Letting Go: Your children’s job as they grow is to learn how to separate from you, letting go of them and your own expectations
