In this episode of Masks Off, host Kim Gross talks to Dr. Pamela Ellis, also known as The Education Doctor. Dr. Ellis shares her background as a first-generation high school graduate and college student, and talks about her current role of helping parents and students navigate through the complex process of finding the right college without overpaying. During the conversation, they touch on the profound negative impact comparison can have on joy and self-esteem, the importance of focusing on students' individual interests and authenticity in the college application process, and the challenges posed by competitiveness and social media-influenced comparisons. Dr. Ellis advocates for self discovery and confidence building not only in the context of schooling but also in life in general.
