OUR FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM DR. LAUREN’S GIRLBOSS RALLY SPEECH

There are plenty of great psychiatrists in this world. And there are plenty of great dancers, too. But, as Dr. Lauren so graciously reminded us at the Girlboss Rally this year, she’s the best dancing psychiatrist around. And that’s something to be proud of—because it’s what makes her uniquely her.

OUR FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM DR. LAUREN’S GIRLBOSS RALLY SPEECH

There are plenty of great psychiatrists in this world. And there are plenty of great dancers, too. But, as Dr. Lauren so graciously reminded us at the Girlboss Rally this year, she’s the best dancing psychiatrist around. And that’s something to be proud of—because it’s what makes her uniquely her.

Thanks to TRESemmé, Dr. Lauren was able to share her wisdom on how we can overcome that negative self-talk we are so culturally hardwired to heed. Using her evidence-based emotional health education, Dr. Lauren schooled us on some solutions to the guilty feelings that can drain us. And, in doing so, reminded us that we all have unique gifts that we’re meant to share with the world.

In case you weren’t there to embrace her raw emotion and vulnerability, here are a few nuggets that stuck with us.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HAS BOTH A NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE THOUGHT VOICE: IT GETS ALL ITS INFO FROM SOCIAL NORMS. MANAGE THAT SHIT.

ON SOCIAL NORMS

ON KINDNESS

USE YOUR GIFTS IN ORDER TO CONNECT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY. USE KINDNESS IN EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION.

YOU’RE THE ONLY YOU, AND THAT’S YOUR POWER. IT’S ABOUT YOU BRINGING YOU INTO ALL YOU DO, WITH GUSTO, WITH GLORY, WITH JAZZ HANDS.

ON SELF WORTH

ON DANCING

DANCING FELT LIKE COMING HOME TO MYSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY. I WAS AFRAID IF I MESSED UP, I MIGHT NEVER BE ABLE TO COME HOME TO MYSELF AGAIN

WE’RE NOT FIGHTING TO ‘FEEL BETTER’, WE’RE FIGHTING TO LIVE.

ON FIGHTING
