"Enough as She Is" with bestselling author Rachel Simmons
February 12, 2020 - 7PM - Mercer Island High School
Girls have never been more successful, yet they’ve also never struggled more with anxiety, stress and depression. In this talk, Rachel translates the toxic messages about achievement that girls have internalized, and teaches parents the tools to help girls practice self-com- passion, redefine success, pursue purpose, and—most importantly—let them know they are enough as they are.
