DESCRIPTION:
In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan explains how the molting process of blue crabs is similar to the vulnerability adolescent girls feel as they experience changes due to puberty, attention from boys, cultural mixed messages, and pressures from school and activities. Using metaphors from fairy tales, Dr. Jordan will show you the inward-directed heroine’s journey girls traverse as they overcome obstacles and challenges to embrace their strength, courage, hope, and resolve in order to be ready to face adulthood.
