Our daughters, students, and girls next door are more anxious and more prone to depression and self-harming than ever before.

My special guest today, Donna Jackson Nakazawa, is the author of “Girls On The Brink: Helping Our Daughters Thrive In An Era Of Increased Anxiety, Depression, And Social Media.” 

Donna writes books that explore the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, and emotion. And today, we are discussing her latest book, 

This is a meaningful conversation for anyone with a tween or teen girl in their life. 

What you will learn: 

  • How does estrogen affect the female brain differently than the male brain?
  • Why is estrogen so powerful, positively and negatively?
  • We’ve stolen away the “in-between years” for our kids and what this means for them. 
  • The adolescent brain is wired to be hypervigilant around assessment and evaluation.
  • Why raising a "happy" child should not be your goal.
  • Creating an atmosphere where your daughter can hear her own internal voice. 
  • What is the number one sign that your child will flourish in adulthood?
  • How to bring down your child’s body and brain stress.
  • A couple of the strategies from her book that we can use to help our daughters with stress and to develop long-term resilience.
