Enough As She Is: How to Help Girls Move Beyond Impossible Standards of Success to Lead Healthy, Happy, and Fulfilling LIves

Participants are briefed on gender differences in adolescent psychology, how cultural messages are amplifying the phenomenon of “effortless perfection” in youth, and the critical skills girls need to for resilience and wellness as learners.

Teaching Resilient Teens: Strategies to Help Students Resist Perfectionism, Manage Self-Criticism & Talk Back to Toxic College Pressure

Teens have never been more successful, yet they’ve also never struggled more with anxiety, stress and depression. In this talk, Rachel translates the toxic messages about achievement that young adults have internalized, and teaches educators the tools to help young people practice self-compassion, redefine success, pursue purpose, and—most importantly—let them know they are enough as they are.
