When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic (& What We Can Do About It) with Jennifer Wallace (EP346)
Today's students face unprecedented pressure to succeed, cramming their schedules with AP classes and resume-padding activities, often at the expense of their well-being and relationships. Family incomes and schedules are strained by tutoring fees and athletic commitments, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and self-harm in high-achieving schools. Today's guest, author, Jennifer Wallace explores the root(s) of this toxic culture and is here to offer solutions to develop the resilience and self-confidence to thrive.
