It is one of our very favorite things to get to talk with folks in our field who we admire greatly, only to find out we also REALLY like them. Dr. Lisa Damour was one of those people. We loved every second of our conversation with her and are confident you will, too. Dr. Damour is a three-time NYT bestselling author with her books Untangled, Under Pressure and her newest, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers. She is wise, thoughtful, kind, and her words are peppered with a humility that endears you to her immediately. We can’t wait for you to glean from her wisdom on teenagers, the mental health of our youth today, the impact of technology and more. As she says and we wholeheartedly agree, it has never been harder to be a teenager. They need us…even when they don’t act like it. And she’s got some practical ideas on how we can not only connect, but can help them find confidence in who they are. . . . . .
