It\\u2019s getting tougher to grow up these days.
We\\u2019re surrounded by endlessly reflecting images of everyone else having fun without us.\\xa0
There are incredible pressures to achieve, to be ourselves and be different, to stand up and stand out, to follow big footsteps\\u2026 and follow our hearts at the same time.\\xa0
A friend said to me the other day \\u201cWhen I was in high school and I\\u2019d stay at home on a Saturday night I assumed my friends did, too. Now my daughter sees all her friends out partying without her on social media. Right after they told her they were busy.\\u201d
It broke my heart.\\xa0
But it\\u2019s happening right alongside rising anxiety, loneliness, and depression rates around the world.
So what does coming-of-age look like these days? How do we keep our children safe, raise our families, tap back into our best selves, and stay focused on what matters most? \\xa0
These days I don\\u2019t think anybody is addressing those big questions better than\\xa0Sarah Andersen, author of\\xa0Sarah\\u2019s Scribbles.
Every one of her cartoons taps into the feelings of anxiety, awkwardness, and stresses of growing up in the digital age. It\\u2019s no wonder her work has gained millions of followers, scored numerous awards, and resulted in three bestselling comic books including her award-winning debut\\xa0Adulthood is a Myth\\xa0and her newest\\xa0Herding Cats.
I am so excited to share my conversation with the incredible Sarah Andersen of Sarah\\u2019s Scribbles, recorded above the clouds at the very top of the western hemisphere\\u2019s tallest building.\\xa0
