The Supergirl Syndrome: When Achievement Becomes Too Much | Lindsay Sealey

What happens when being capable, responsible, and successful starts to feel like a burden?

In Episode 9 of Our Summer of “Wonder-Full” — Women Who Inspire Us, Anne Miranda sits down with educator, author, and speaker Lindsay Sealey to unpack what Lindsay calls the Supergirl Syndrome: the pressure many girls feel to be everything to everyone, all the time.

They explore perfectionism, people-pleasing, achievement, comparison, social media pressure, anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, and why some of the patterns developed in our teenage years can follow us well into adulthood.

Lindsay also shares practical ways parents, mentors, and women can create healthier conversations around pressure, rest, confidence, and worth.
