In her powerful TED Talk, Miriam Laundry makes the case that, though bullying can be an issue for many kids, an often overlooked issue is that the biggest bully of all may be the one in the mirror. With depression and anxiety on the rise among young people, Laundry is on a mission to help kids and teens recognize the power of the words they say to themselves and face the “big, bad bully” in their mind.

Laundry teamed up with self-esteem expert and best-selling author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, Jack Canfield, in the new children’s book, “The Big, Bad Bully.”
