[Chelsey Goodan, part 2: Balancing ambition with knowing you’re already enough + a super helpful skill-assessment tool] Ep 1129

Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

In part 2 of my interview with Chelsey Goodan, author of Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls, we really break down the inner parts of writing, including how to be OK with the fact that people may misunderstand you.

(If this sounds familiar, it’s because this week’s episodes are replays–I figured, since it’s back to school season re-airing an interview with an author who extols the power of teenage girls made a lot of sense!)

Other things we cover:

- The mistake most well-intentioned parents make

- How Chelsey deals with her biggest fear about her work–being misunderstood

- Dealing with a perfectionistic inner critic

- Chelsey’s “intense” relationship to time

- The one cultural belief Chesley would like to vaporize

- The truth that Chelsey’s had to model for the teen girls in her life

- The book and online personality assessment Chelsey swears by (and uses with the teens in her life, too)
