Good is What Makes You Feel Well
Blair Sorrel in How Overparenting Shapes Identity, Independence, and Mental Health
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if setting high expectations for our children… is actually what holds them back?
In this conversation, we explore how parenting shapes a child’s inner world, the fine line between support and overprotection, and the importance of compassion when it comes to mental health and human differences.
Today’s guest, Blair Sorrel, offers a perspective that is both deeply personal and powerfully confronting.
Blair is the author of A Schizoid at Smith: How Overparenting Leads to Underachieving, a memoir that sheds light on the long-term impact of overparenting, childhood trauma, and the complexities of living with schizoid personality traits.
Her story is not just one of struggle—it’s one of resilience. Despite the challenges she faced, Blair graduated from Smith College and built a diverse professional path.
This is an episode that invites reflection—on how we raise our children, how we relate to vulnerability, and how awareness can lead to more conscious, humane choices.
Her memoir is A Schizoid at Smith: How Overparenting Leads to Underachieving.
