In this episode of Aspire, I Have the Right To Executive Director and Co-Host Katie M. Shipp joins Co-Host and Co-Founder of I Have the Right To Susan Prout to dive into a powerful conversation with Dr. Jo-Anne Finkelstein. Dr. Finkelstein is a clinical psychologist and author of Sexism and Sensibility. Together, they explore the subtle and systemic ways society undermines girls' confidence—from pink hockey sticks to dismissive labels like "too sensitive" or "overly emotional."
Dr. Finkelstein shares insights from decades of clinical work and her own experiences raising daughters, offering a compelling look at the "tiny psychological paper cuts" that accumulate over a lifetime. Her book provides a roadmap for raising empowered girls while also helping parents unlearn harmful cultural messages.
Make sure to check out her book, Sexism & Sensibility, an invaluable guide to understanding and dismantling sexism for parents trying to raise confident and powerful girls in a culture that often demeans them.
