Ah. Mean Girls. The invisible thread that trauma bonds us together.


But, have you ever wondered why girls pit themselves against one another? Why is psychological warfare our weapon of choice? And what do the parents have to do with it? Turns out, they might be 50% of the equation.


Join us for a jam-packed conversation with leading expert on tween/teen girl development and teen parent life coach, Barb Steinberg, as she guides us through all of the inner workings of mean girls, human evolution, and the generational responsibility we carry to teach our kids how to understand anger and ways to point personal

pain toward growth and compassion.


Lastly, we’ll discover whether or not today's bully and victim are of the same kind, and why the landscape is dramatically different with the proliferation of phones and social media.


Buckle up SMV, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
