Episode Details

Why are stereotypes of teenage girls rarely flattering? And what important traits are we not acknowledging in these young women? Chelsey Goodan, author of the new book UNDERESTIMATED: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls, explains what teenage girls really want and need from us.

Chelsey and Amy discuss:

• The generational shift towards a culture of support and empowerment among young girls today
• The significance of offering agency to young girls in shaping their identities and futures
• What teenage girls want from their parents more than anything else
