In this episode of Life as Girls, Olivia sits down with Sariah, a Girl Scout who created a self-esteem journal for girls ages 12–16, to talk about the real stuff: body image, perfectionism, and comparing yourself to others. They dig into how comments (and social media) can mess with your confidence, why it’s ok to be imperfect (and clumsy!), and how journaling, humor, and honest self-reflection can help you feel more like you. If you’ve ever stressed over a grade, a pimple, or not being “perfect,” this episode is your permission to breathe, be kind to yourself, and remember you’re uniquely made for a reason.

This is Part 2 of Life as Girls, where Maddie, Austin, and Dru share what it really feels like to step into senior year—the mix of excitement, nerves, and big questions about the future. Their conversation touches on the pressures of school, the anticipation of graduation, and the small but meaningful ways they’re starting to make choices for themselves. It’s honest, funny, and a reminder that even in the middle of uncertainty, you’re not alone in figuring it all out.
