This week, Dr. McBride sits down with author Caralena Peterson to discuss her new book, "The Effortless Perfection Myth", about the mental and physical health toll of the pressure college-age women put on themselves to be pretty, thin, and accomplished. They break down how exhausting it is to be anything but yourself, that love is not something that you earn, and how getting a B+ is often better than getting an A.
