Episode Description

In this episode of the Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Kim Worrell, a certified life coach for teen girls and young women, and a certified Positive Psychology Coach based in Providence, Rhode Island. Kim is the founder of KBW Coaching, where she blends life coaching and positive psychology to help girls navigate today’s complex world, build confidence, and move forward with purpose. 

Oscar and Kim dive into what’s really going on in the hearts and minds of teen girls today—especially in those wild middle school and early high school years. Kim shares practical ways dads can stop “walking on eggshells” and start building real connection: from simple rituals like breakfast dates and coffee runs, to using humor, code words, and curiosity to keep communication open instead of shutting it down.

They talk about why dads’ steady love and presence are far more powerful than perfect words. Kim also breaks down tools that dads can adapt at home to support their daughters’ mindset, resilience, and self-belief.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I saying the right thing? Am I doing enough?” this conversation will help you show up with more clarity, courage, and compassion for your teenage daughter.

More about The DAUGHTERED Podcast

Welcome to the Daughtered Podcast — where dads come to talk, think, grow, and thrive. I’m your host, Oscar, and this is a space for men who are committed to becoming stronger, more mindful, and more present—especially in the lives of their daughters. We believe that fatherhood is a journey of growth. Each conversation on this podcast is a chance to learn, reflect, and level up as a dad and as a man. Whether you’re a brand-new father or deep into the teenage years, we’re here to support each other through every stage. Being Daughtered means embracing the lessons our daughters are continuously teaching us and using them to become better. We challenge current misconceptions of masculinity and lead with strength, compassion, and intention—building stronger relationships and lasting memories along the way. This community is for every man who’s ready to show up—not as a perfect dad, but as a growing one.
