In this episode of Raising Girl Shaped Flames we’re deep-diving into the relationship between confidence and social media for teenage girls, and I can’t stress enough how comprehensive and informative the discussion I had with Dr Kristy Goodwin was for this episode!
In this discussion we look at SO MUCH – but the highlights certainly were:
// How Kristy developed from a shy introvert to an award-winning public speaker
// The amplification of confidence challenges for girls in the current online landscape
// Social media's negative impact on sleep
// Why consuming social media at night prevents logical emotional processing
// Humans are hard-wired to imitate, increasing importance of positive content
// Zip-lock bags to take phones into the shower due to inability to disconnect
// A key design principle that is increasing social media addiction
// Opportunity Cost: What are our girls sacrificing in order to be (and stay) connected
// Kristy's '3 B's' to guide parents through this tricky landscape with their daughters
(I was not kidding about how much we got through!)

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
