Oprah continues her two-part conversation with New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Shefali about her new books, Raising Conscious Sons: Cultivating Purpose, Connection, and Inner Power in a Chaotic World and Raising Conscious Daughters: Building Confidence, Courage, and Inner Power in an Anxious World. In part two, Oprah and Dr. Shefali focus on the unique challenges facing girls today and the hidden struggles behind the achievement and confidence the world often sees on the surface. Dr. Shefali explores the rise of anxiety, depression, self-harm, cyberbullying, perfectionism and self-doubt among young women. Dr. Shefali also explains how the pressures of the digital age, constant comparison, unrealistic expectations and what she calls the perception prison are shaping girls' mental health. She unpacks the 'psychology of more' describing it as one of the most corrosive forces affecting young women today and shares practical guidance for helping daughters trust their inner voice and stay connected to their authentic selves. Oprah and Dr. Shefali are also joined by four mothers who share their questions about raising daughters.
