Session 8: Social Cognition 🏃‍♀️💗

We were running out of daylight during our run last night! 🌅 I think it’s officially time to switch things up and run first, lesson second! 😄 And seriously, how are we already this close to the end of our BIO Girls season?!

Last night’s lesson focused on social cognition and comparison. We talked about how comparing ourselves to others can make us feel worse, especially in those moments when we’re worried that other people are watching or judging us.

As we get closer to our Grand Finale, this was such an important reminder: we are all here to do our own personal best. 💕

Our mantra says it perfectly:

✨ MY PACE, MY RACE ✨

And it’s not just about running. It’s a reminder that each of us is on our own path. We don’t need to compare our pace, progress, or journey to anyone else’s.

When those feelings of comparison or worry start creeping in, we hope the girls will put this mantra on repeat:

💗 MY PACE, MY RACE! 💗

💗 BIO Girls Session 7 | Kindness Project + Self-Worth

For Session 7 on October 25th, we brought together two powerful lessons: showing kindness to others and showing kindness to ourselves.

We continued building on what we’ve learned about empathy and walking in someone else’s shoes. The girls talked about how sometimes it only takes one person choosing to step up and show kindness to make a difference. We then put that lesson into action through our Kindness Project, spreading a little joy to others. 💗

We also turned that kindness inward. We reminded the girls that their worth isn’t determined by what they accomplish, what they have, or what others think of them. They are valuable and worthy simply because of who they are.

Two important reminders from our session:

✨ KINDNESS IS CONTAGIOUS
💛 WORTHY WITHOUT TRYING

Such a special session learning that the kindness we give to others matters, and so does the kindness we give ourselves. 💕

💜 Session 6: Assertiveness 💜

What does it look like to be assertive? On October 18, our girls learned the difference between being passive, aggressive, and assertive and practiced ways to stand up for themselves with confidence and kindness. 💪

Through demonstrations, we explored how tone, body language, and the words we choose can send a powerful message while still showing respect for others.

✨ Session 6 Mantra:
BRAVE AND KIND, EVERY TIME!

A simple but powerful reminder: You can be strong. You can speak up. And you can still be kind. 💜

👟 Session 5: Other’s Shoes 👟

In a world that often focuses on “me,” last week we shifted our focus to others. 💕

We learned about empathy and what it means to pause and consider someone else’s feelings and perspective. The girls practiced stepping into someone else’s shoes by working through different situations together and thinking about how others might feel. 👟💭

🌟 Mantra: STEP INSIDE THEIR STORY 🌟

A great reminder that not everyone sees or experiences things the same way we do. When we take the time to understand someone else’s story, we can lead with more kindness, compassion, and empathy. 💜

💜 Session 4: Anxiety & Coping 💜

On Oct 4 we explored anxiety and how it shows up in our bodies, including the brain’s fight, flight, or freeze responses. 🧠

We talked about:
💭 Identifying our worries
🧠 Connecting our thoughts and feelings
🧰 Learning tools to help us cope when worry shows up

🏠 Ask your participant: What does it mean to “flip your lid”? See if they can show or explain it to you!

✨ We ended our session with today’s mantra:
PEACE BEGINS WITH ME 🕊️💜

And, of course, we wrapped up with a beautiful run! 🌟

🌟 Session 3: Change-Makers 🌟

💙 Mantra: LIVE TO SERVE
🙏 Devotion: Philippians 2:4

September 27 was all about giving back! Our BIO Girls had the opportunity to put our mantra, LIVE TO SERVE, into action through volunteering at The Humanity Alliance . 💕🙌

🤝 Serving Others
Our girls participated in preparing SO many strawberries to be vacuum sealed and frozen as well as preparing a large batch of beef broth! The Humanity Alliance provides food to people in need. In 2025, they prepared and delivered 285,430 meals all throughout the Twin Cities metro.

Volunteering doesn’t just make a difference for others. It can make a difference in us, too! Serving others can help build happiness and self-confidence while giving girls an opportunity to see the positive impact they can have on the people and community around them. 💗

🏡 BIO Girls at Home
Ask your BIO Girl about her volunteer experience:
✨ Where did you volunteer?
✨ What did you learn while volunteering?
✨ Did you work in a group or individually?
✨ How did volunteering make you feel?
✨ How do you think the people you helped felt?

💫 Small acts of service can make a BIG difference. We LIVE TO SERVE!

🧩 Session 2: Friendships & Cliques 🩷
💚 BE THE FRIEND YOU NEED! 💚

Everyone wants to belong and fit in, but sometimes we can feel left out or lonely. This week, our BIO Girls worked together to build a giant puzzle that showed how each of us is unique, yet we all belong and fit together! 🧩✨

We also talked about the difference between 🚩 "red flag" friends and ✅ "green flag" friends, helping participants learn what healthy, positive friendships look like. Together, we explored the importance of inclusivity and learned our new mantra:

🤝 Next Week:
