    Why does multitasking slow down learning?
    May 29 2024
    In today's episode, Liz gives us the skinny on what multitasking is (and isn't--hint, it's not when you're doing dishes and also listening to music) and why it can both feel so tempting and is so destructive to our ability to learn efficiently. Becca, Jess, and Liz all share stories from their own experience plus those of students and parents they know, as well as helpful and simple tips on how to switch to getting more mono-tasking in your life so you can get on to the good stuff faster.

    What do college students wish they'd known in high school?
    May 22 2024
    In this episode of Can You Help Me Give a Sh*t: the podcast we tackle a question that high schoolers (and their parents and teachers) wish they'd thought of before getting to college: what do college students wish they'd known in high school? We suspect this will be first in a series of conversations with different young people, but in this episode Grace, co-author of the book, gives her "hot take" on why a gap year between high school and college is undervalued by high-acheivers, and why, as a worn-down high-acheiver herself, she wishes it wasn't.

    In this episode, Becca dives deep into the questions she was seeking to answer with the research behind the book Can You Help Me Give a Sh*t? Unlocking Teen Motivation in School and Life, and the ways that listening to young people from around the county surprised, inspired, and changed the ways she approaches her own kids' education.
