For a complex set of reasons, most of what is known about adolescent girls focuses on the problems they face. The fact that many adolescent girls are showing remarkable strength, resiliency, and "hardiness" during the stressful time of adolescence needs to be explored. In this episode, Embracing Enough links up with two local educators - Sherilyn and Trauvello - from the DC/MD/VA area to get their take on resiliency amongst girls. We talk current day risks and stresses that need to be understood as defining factors in adolescence. Sherilyn and Trauvello not only talk about their perspectives as educators, but we also muse about their own story, how they grew up naturally smart and explore how that influenced their respective journeys of being enough.
