Episode Details

Being a teen girl can be confusing and frustrating—luckily, Meredith Walker , brings us BE YOURSELF AND OTHER BAD ADVICE. Co-founder of Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, an organization that is dedicated to young people cultivating their authentic selves through online community, Walker has created a funny, interactive self-help book to show young people how to dig deep, find what's important to you, and use that authenticity to make the world a better place. Teen girls learn rules all the time, even if many of them go unsaid. Be yourself! But don’t be weird! Hustle hard—your future depends on it! You’re only young once—enjoy it! But no one talks about the life skill they need to navigate all those rules: how to think for themselves.   As the co-founder of Smart Girls and producer for Nick News Meredith Walker has spent years speaking directly to young people and leading workshops for teen girls. Now she’s written a witty guide for teen girls to discover who they are, feel their feelings, develop their confidence—and figure out what to do next. Compact, insightful, and full of warm big-sisterly advice, Be Yourself and Other Bad Advice is for any reader letting go of the old rules.
