Girlhood is a state of constant embarrassment. Not to mention the feeling that you're just...always in trouble? So how the hell are we supposed to become well-adjusted adults when most of us have been raised to have a deep shame rooted in our bones?
Well today, I've got Hailey Noecker, self-published author that's absolutely killing it on Substack right now and a prevention specialist for a child advocacy nonprofit.
We're chatting about:
- How working in child advocacy has made Hailey think about her own childhood differently
- What it means to reclaim your youth in adulthood
- The fig tree analogy (of course, you know me)
- Why our obsession with self-optimization can be debilitating
