Meredith Walker
Author of Be Yourself & Other Bad Advice
Helping girls think for themselves
Co-founder, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls
Hello! My book, BE YOURSELF AND OTHER BAD ADVICE, is coming soon.
Girls are surrounded by expectations about how they should look, act, and show up in the world. One of the most powerful things you can learn is how to think for yourself.
I wrote this book to help girls get to know themselves through stories, prompts, and thought starters, and to use that self-knowledge to build a life that feels like their own.
This is a book for finding out more about yourself, the person you are now, and the person you are becoming.
Available for preorder at the link in my bio or wherever books are sold!

The "off switch" concept hit me differently when @meredeetch and I were talking. Because most of us had it and never even noticed. The stress of the school day was real, the social stuff was hard, but at some point it just... stopped for the night. We got to exist without an audience.
That's what's been taken away. Kids today don't get that break. They just keep absorbing, keep comparing, keep scrolling into the next thing that tells them they're not enough.
Comment "OFF" and I'll share the link to this week's episode ofThe In-Between Years.

We are proud to bring back The Lyric Hour as we welcome author @meredeetch to the Augustine Lounge on Tuesday, June 2. Join us for a special Fireside Chat celebrating her new book, “Be Yourself and Other Bad Advice.”
