		<description><![CDATA[Books (and Oprah experts) tell us that if we want our daughters to have high self-esteem, then we need to model it. If we want our daughters to feel beautiful, then we must feel beautiful. And if we want our girls to believe in themselves, then we must believe in oursleves.]]></description>

		<title>wild and untamed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From day one, I realized that as a band coach, my role was not to take charge of these girls and conduct my way of playing music or writing songs. Although these girls were new to their instruments, they were not new to themselves. They knew what they liked and didn't like and surpsisingly, they always found a way to agree on their sound.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m working on a behind the scenes video for Girls&#8217; Rock Camp ATL. In the meantime, this boing boing story I saw on Kathleen&#8217;s blog made me laugh.

		<title>DIY is not dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought being a band coach would be tough. I imagined the girls arguing, or name-calling, or obsessing over their looks. I could not have been more wrong. The only thing these girls have done from day one is totally rock.]]></description>

		<title>in honor of rock camp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honor of Rock Camp, I'll be posting about girl musicians all week. First up is Orinthi, an amazing guitarist out of Australia. She writes her own stuff, and she's got mad skills on guitar. She's played with Steve Vai, Carrie Underwood, and Carlos Santana, and was scheduled to tour with Michael Jackson. Not bad for a 24 year old. ]]></description>

		<title>girls rock camp: loud without apology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Rock Campers have an expression, "Make noise without apology." That one really hit home for me. Girls do stuff like apologize for making mistakes, even during out first attempt to learn something. Where does that come from? It's like apologizing for not being perfect.]]></description>

Because my kids have been out of school for since May, and I really need to hang out with some grown-ups. And by grown-ups I mean [...]]]></description>

		<title>my history with courtney love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here's the dirty truth about girls and music: if we want teenage girls to want to do something other than fuck the band, we need to see instruments played by women. Does Jimmy Page inspire me to be a better guitarist? Absolutely. But Courtney Love gave me the confidence to even pick up the fucking thing in the first place.]]></description>
