In this insightful episode, I discuss the critical topic of mental health challenges faced by adolescent girls. Join me as I welcome Erin Smith, a dedicated Yoga and Mindfulness Coach, who shares her personal journey with her daughter’s struggles with OCD, ADHD, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Together, we explore the unique pressures teenage girls face today and discuss effective strategies for fostering mental well-being. Erin provides valuable insights on what her and her daughter went through during COVID and her daughter's high school years. She talks about how during the week of her daughter Izzy's 16th birthday she was admitted to a all girl's psychiatric ward to get help to treat her with her violent and suicidal ideations, as well as what that looked like for their entire family. Izzy found solitude in Taylor Swift's music & vowed to stay alive until all of Taylor's first 6 album's were rerecorded. Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or someone interested in understanding more about this important subject, this episode is one you won't want to miss!
