Raising Empowered Girls: How Project Fearless Builds Confidence and Leadership

Raising a daughter to believe she can achieve anything is a transformative responsibility, but as girls hit their pre-teen years, research shows a sharp decline in confidence and sports participation. In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva and Maren sit down with Sara from Project Fearless, an Amsterdam and Rotterdam-based organization dedicated to reversing that trend. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at how hands-on activities—from climate science to kickboxing—help girls aged 9–14 find their voice and break through stereotypes.

We discuss the vital link between physical activity and mental health, and why it’s never too early to start thinking about the environments our daughters will grow up in. Whether your little girl is still a toddler or approaching her teens, Sara’s insights provide a roadmap for fostering the bravery and ambition needed to lead. Join us to learn how we can all help the next generation of female leaders believe their dreams are truly limitless.
