Hello friends, this is a surprise many episode as part of a fun new series I'm doing once a month where I introduce you to other wonderful podcasts that might bless and benefit your life.

These shows are all produced by or part of my podcast network Cloud10 Media and it has been so rewarding for me to collaborate with other podcasters who are working hard to get their important messages out into the world.

Today I am so excited to share about the newest show to come to the American Girl Podcast Network, the Smart Girls Podcast.

This is a show I'm personally so excited about. Have you ever read the Smart Girls Guidebooks from American Girl? They cover everything from body image, mental health, social media, friendships, embarrassing moments and crushes.

As a mom, I know that it's hard raising a daughter in today's world and the Smart Girls Podcast is bringing these books to life and giving us real modern advice for raising today's American Girl.

What I also love is the show has hosts from two different generations. It's co-hosted by 16 year old writer and actor Shay Rudolph, who you may have seen in the babysitters club on Netflix,

and cultural expert and educator Jess Weiner, who is responsible for some of the coolest campaigns from Doves Real Beauty to changing Barbie's body.

Their dynamic together is so incredibly fun and they handle giving advice alongside other experts since Liberty guests to everything kids are facing growing up today.

Every episode ends with extremely practical tips, advice and approaches that we can all use even us adults in our everyday lives.

Keep listening to hear the trailer for the Smart Girls Podcast. I hope you will subscribe and listen. I know I will.

Welcome to Smart Girls Podcast. I'm Shay Rudolph. I'm Jess Weiner.

And I'm 16. I'm James Seven Coffee Dad.

I really am Jess Weiner and I am a cultural expert and I am an educator.

I am Shay Rudolph. I'm an actor, a writer.

I wish that I had a podcast like this when I was going through middle school and even early high school and honestly even now.

What excites me the most about the Smart Girls Podcast is that it is inspired by the legacy of the Smart Girls Guides from American Girl.

They're the books that cover every topic from puberty to body image and race and inclusion and friendships and crushes and relationships like everything.

And we get to talk to incredible guests and inspiring experts and really help today's young people and their parents navigate growing up in the world today.
