The Elevate Podcast
Conversations on how to empower girls with thought leaders, innovators, educators, creatives and activists who champion girls. Working together to lift young girls to live remarkable lives.
Short Description
In this episode of Elevate the Podcast, I talk with Dr Ellie Rashid, a consultant dermatologist, about the alarming trends in tween and teen skincare influenced by social media. The discussion highlights the unrealistic beauty standards set by filters and viral trends, the importance of educating young people about accurate skincare information, and the psychological impacts of striving for flawless skin. Dr Rashid explains common skincare ingredients, the necessity of setting realistic expectations, and the role of parents in guiding their children’s skincare routines. The conversation also touches on the broader issue of body image and self-esteem in young girls.

These podcasts will cause you to stop and think about the way you currently approach young people, and the unique challenges they each face, and to reassess a fresh perspective you can apply going forwards to encourage them to achieve their best potential - whatever that looks like.

I absolutely love Ramita’s podcast and that after I listen to it, I always feel uplifted and have learnt something new. She has great guests from a variety of backgrounds and the interviews are all about what her guests have to say and not at all about her. It all comes from a place of genuine kindness and curiosity and is a must listen!
