Why are girls taught to be eye candy before they’re taught to be whole humans? In this fiercely empowering episode of The Hint Hive: Amplifying Women’s Voices, host Kelly Hint — feminist life coach and psychotherapist — rips the lid off a brutal truth: our culture is stealing girlhood in plain sight.

From padded bikinis for 7-year-olds to viral TikToks that reward sexiness over substance, we unpack how society sexualizes young girls and the lasting damage it leaves behind. We dive into the media, psychology, history, and real-life consequences — and most importantly, what we can actually do about it.

With powerful facts, no-BS commentary, and 8 actionable steps to disrupt the cycle, this episode isn’t just a wake-up call — it’s a rallying cry. Whether you're a parent, teacher, therapist, or just someone who gives a damn, this one’s for you.

Plus: a Quote of the Week that’ll stay with you long after the episode ends — and a call to action you can take today to protect the next generation.

Girlhood is sacred. Let’s stop letting the world steal it.
