What Today’s Girls Are Up Against

Tweens and teens today are growing up without something many of us took for granted: an off switch.
No break from comparison. No break from group chats, social pressure, performance, opinions, or the feeling of always being “on.”
This week, Dr. Sheryl talks with producer, writer, and Amy Poehler's Smart Girls co-founder Meredith Walker about what years of listening to girls has taught her about confidence, belonging, perfectionism, identity, and the exhausting pressure so many girls feel to get everything “right.”
They talk about:
- why “just be yourself” can feel impossible for teens
- what social media has changed about growing up
- how girls learn to trust themselves
- why experimentation and awkwardness are actually healthy
- the importance of self-compassion
- and what happens when kids feel genuinely listened to
