Building Confidence in Young Girls: The Beautiful Curly Me Story

She was just six years old when she came home from school in tears… asking why she looked different.

That moment changed everything.

In this episode of Riding the Big Wheel, Michelle sits down with Evana Eko, the mom behind Beautiful Curly Me, a brand born from her daughter Zoe’s struggle with confidence and identity. What started as a simple conversation turned into a powerful mission to help girls everywhere feel seen, valued, and confident in who they are.

But this isn’t just a story about a business.

It’s about:

The quiet moments that shape how girls see themselves

The things we say (and don’t say) that stay with them

The pressure of social media and comparison at a young age

And what it really takes to raise a confident child in today’s world

You’ll also hear how Zoe went from that moment to becoming a young CEO, building a brand now impacting thousands of girls and why her mom chose to build it with her, not for her.

If you have a daughter, know a young girl, or have ever questioned your own confidence, this conversation will stay with you.
