You’re Not Missing It — Even When She Doesn’t Talk Much

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones speaks to parents who feel uneasy when their daughter goes quiet and the silence feels overwhelming.

Melissa reframes silence as a normal—and often healthy—part of growth, not a sign of disconnection. She explains why pushing for conversation or jumping to conclusions can create distance, and how calm presence, patience, and space can actually strengthen your bond. Through personal stories and practical insight, Melissa shows how connection doesn’t always come from talking, but from simply staying steady and available.

Tune in to discover:

• Why silence isn’t something to fear
• What not to do when your daughter shuts down
• How presence and non-verbal connection build trust
• Why giving space can deepen your relationship

This episode is a reassuring reminder that you don’t have to fill every quiet moment to stay connected. Sometimes, showing up calmly is more than enough.
