What would your daughter do if something happened and you were not there?

Emergency preparedness is not only about major disasters. It is also about the everyday situations girls may face on their own: a flat tire, dead phone, power outage, car accident, unsafe party, medical emergency, or realizing that something around them does not feel right.

In this episode of The Girls’ Field Guide, we talk about the practical skills girls can build now so they are better prepared to make safe, thoughtful decisions when something unexpected happens.

🧭 In This Episode

We talk about:

• Situational awareness and personal safety
• Family emergency communication plans
• What girls should know about cars, first aid, navigation, and power outages
• How to communicate quickly during an emergency
• Knowing when to leave, call for help, or change the plan
• Emergency preparedness at school, parties, home, in the car, and at college
• What to keep in a simple personal emergency kit
• Why critical thinking matters more than memorizing dozens of rules

💬 Five Questions to Teach Her

When something unexpected happens, help her learn to ask:

1. What is the immediate danger?
2. Where is the safest place?
3. What information do I actually know?
4. Who can help me?
5. What is my next safe step?

The goal is not for her to know exactly what to do in every possible situation.

It is for her to think: I know how to start.

Friendship is one of the most important relationships girls learn to navigate, but it is also one of the least explicitly taught.

In this episode of The Girls’ Field Guide, we talk about how girls can better understand friendship, recognize different kinds of friends, handle conflict, set boundaries, repair relationships, and know when it may be time to let go.

We also talk about an equally important question: What kind of friend am I being?

🌿 In This Episode

We cover:

• Why friendship is a real relationship skill
• Why not every friend needs to be a best friend
• Close friends, activity friends, casual friends, and season-of-life friends
• How friendships influence girls’ confidence, choices, and sense of what is normal
• What healthy friendship can actually look and feel like
• Why conflict does not automatically mean a friendship is unhealthy
• The difference between a pattern and a mistake
• How girls can learn to repair a friendship
• When distance or ending a friendship may be appropriate
• Why girls also need to think about the kind of friend they are becoming

💬 Questions to Talk About With Your Daughter

You might ask:

• What makes someone feel like a close friend to you?
• Do all of your friends play the same role in your life?
• Can you be yourself around your friends?
• Can you disagree without the friendship falling apart?
• Can you say no without being punished or excluded?
• How do you know when something is a mistake versus a pattern?
• What do you think makes someone a good friend?
• What kind of friend do you want to be?

Professional email is one of those small life skills girls will use everywhere—from high school and college to jobs, internships, volunteering, healthcare, applications, and eventually the workplace.

In this Field Assignment episode of The Girls’ Field Guide, the challenge is simple: make sure a high school girl has a professional email address, then have her write and send one real professional email.

The goal is not perfect wording. It is helping girls get comfortable communicating clearly and independently.

In this episode

• Why professional email is an important life and career skill
• When girls may need to use email
• Creating a professional email address
• What makes an email clear and respectful
• Why girls should write the first draft themselves
• Helping without taking over
• How to follow up if someone does not respond
• Using AI to review an email without letting it do all the communication
• Why practice matters more than perfection

The Field Assignment

If she does not already have one, help her create a professional email address using a simple version of her name.

Then have her send one real professional email.

She might contact a teacher, counselor, coach, employer, volunteer coordinator, program director, mentor, or another adult.
