About this listen

Welcome to Younger but Wiser, a podcast that celebrates the wisdom of teen girls and how we, as adults, might be able to learn a thing or two from them. We'll talk about everything from perfectionism & failure to radical self-acceptance. We'll dive into what these young women are nervous about losing as they get older, the superpowers they have, and what they already deeply understand about themselves and the world around them. These young women embody the wisdom that we've all had from the beginning.

Hosted by Ripley Rader, fashion designer, CEO, & founder of Camp Rocky Road-a leadership camp for girls. She's on a mission to inject our next generation of young women with unapologetic grounded self-esteem.

This pod is intended for everyone - parents and daughters alike! This podcast is our opportunity to bridge the generations. An opportunity for us to talk and actually hear each other - whether you're 14 or 40. Join me as we get to know an army of women not afraid to stand out.
