If you have a growing girl or a young woman in your life, you know the intense pressure she faces to be pretty, to be popular, to be perfect. And sometimes she may feel like her contentment is less important than living up to the expectations and images that she sees on social media. My guest today is dedicated to putting the power back in girls' hands and helping them to develop the skills and confidence that will set them up for a fulfilling life—skills that you can also apply to your own life as an author, a creative, and a human in this world. Lindsay Sealey is the CEO and founder of Bold New Girls and Brave New Boys. She's also the author of three books: Growing Strong Girls; Rooted, Resilient, and Ready; and Made for More. In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why authenticity is the key not just to building strong relationships, but also to your success as an author.
• Lindsay's strategies for author self-care: taking breaks, setting boundaries, and practicing mindfulness to maintain well-being.
• How challenging experiences can cultivate resilience and adaptability. (This includes facing rejection from agents and publishers!)
• Why building a strong support network is crucial for maintaining well-being and productivity. (Being part of a supportive writing community can help you get through that manuscript.)
• How to stay focused on your passions and purpose for a more fulfilling, meaningful life.
