About This Episode

This episode with speaker, author, and mentor Chelsey Goodan brings an inspiring discussion that not only enlightens but also equips us to uplift the next generation of women. Chelsey's work is deeply rooted in her belief that empowerment stems from a foundation laid early in life, supported by compassion and a nurturing environment. From the complex influence of social media to generational cycles and societal pressures and expectations, Chelsey describes many of the challenges facing teenage girls today and actionable ways that we can foster resilience and agency in teenage girls- a journey of self-discovery, authenticity, and empowerment. This is covered in even more detail in her new bestselling book, Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls. With the encouragement and support to embrace their true selves and overcome the confines of society and perfectionism, teenage girls can navigate the path toward being bold and living the life they want.
